	Northern Praying Mantis (martial art) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In combat, the Northern Praying Mantis style mimicks the movements of its namesake insect, particularly the use of the hands in the shape of the "praying mantis hook" (螳螂勾; pinyin: tángláng gōu).
		Today, the style is the predecessor of what have become three different styles of Northern Praying Mantis: Tàijí Praying Mantis, Plum Blossom Praying Mantis, and Tàijí Plum Blossom Praying Mantis; all three trace their lineage to the 5th/6th Generation disciple of Wang Lang, Liang Xue Xiang, who combined the two styles in the 19th Century.
		Known as the 'softest' or most 'internal' of the Praying Mantis styles, Six Harmony Praying Mantis was passed down by Dīng Zǐchéng (丁子成), whose students taught in Shandong Province as well as Taiwan.

	Feldman
		The mantis is a highly evolved insect whose name is derived from its ferocity as a predator, as well as its' virtuous stealth and sacrosanct posture.
		Original experiments have shown that the mantis responds optimally to prey (or a lure, as used in the experiments) that is 3-35 mm long and about 10 mm thick that approaches the mantis frontally rather than at right angles to the mantis.
		The mantis impales its prey in the spines between the lower tibia and upper femur of its front raptorial limbs.

	John Taggart on "Mantis"
		In the fourth stanza the poet overcomes his fear to allow the mantis to light upon his chest, an item of his shame and of the poor who laugh at his fright: shame at his non-caring for the creature itself and as an emblem of the separate poor (as opposed to the laughing mass).
		Possibly, that the mantis as sign is part spiritual entity, part sweet and infrequently obtainable fruit; it is as a delicious fruit to the lost, a delightful succor, and a reminder as spirit that men, like thorns in the paths they leave, can kill, that other men are in fact dangerous.
		In the case of "Mantis," the governing style is the obsession of the sestina form in the right relation with the subject of the poor.

		While the praying mantis plays a very important part in nature's insect control plan, one should not expect to achieve total pest control with the use of praying mantids alone.
