You know, I've seen the clips on this website before. I guess what really confuses me is the mantis thrown in there. The Jow Ga Kung Fu they are doing through most of the video is not the same as Jow Ga Praying Mantis. Jow Ga Praying Mantis is a different lineage and style all together...

The greatest achievement the warrior can obtain is self enlightenment! This is sought with a battling heart and a virturous spirit!!! |

I thought this was an interesting topic to look into as I’m starting jow ga training soon (well hopefully). I agree with the different groups of jow Ga different styles with the same name (as discussed in the thread mentioned above). Chaujia/Chow Gar (Chau's family Praying Mantis founded by Chou Ah-Nan) is a southern style of mantis. Jow Lung who founded the jow gar style trained in northern shaolin techniques in kek lok si temple (shoaling temple in Malaysia). However I couldn’t find what styles were being taught at kek lok si temple (to see if there were possibly other influences that Jow Lung was exposed to). When i looked into what styles were grouped under northern shaolin (what was taught in the northern shaolin monasteries) i found that there were 4 courts teaching martial arts which were: Bak Sil Lum (Northern Shaolin), Ying Jow (Eagle Claw), My Jung Law Horn (Lost Track of Buddha's Disciples) and Tang Lang (Praying Mantis) I don’t know if these we there the styles taught at kek lok si. From what I’ve read it seems like Jow Lung only trained in Bak Sil Lum (in the monastery) under abbot Chian Yi. So as far as I can tell Jow Gar is made up Choy gar, Hung gar and Bak Sil Lum (head of Hung, the tail of Choy and the patterns of the tiger and leopard) but no mantis. I did however find mention of Dean chin’s Jow ga were it is said “His curriculum included techniques and sets from northern eagle claw, praying mantis, etc – “the best of each system”” so perhaps the forms resembling mantis are from this line of descent.
I found mention of a form called flying mantis jow gar …… but couldn't find any information with regards to family/style/lineage. (http://forum.kungfumagazine.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-5648.html) but seems as if the video has been removed, I suspect this belongs to the Chou Ah-Nan line of descent.
Hope this is helpful and it would be cool if anyone has anything to add or remove.

I think you are pretty close to summing it up perfectly. Jow Ga is the mixture of Choy Ga, Hung Ga and Bak Sil Lum and has been known to be called "Hung Tao, Choy Mei". From what my Sifu told me about the Dean Chin curriculum he did in fact teach some mantis, but was very careful in saying that it was not a part of the 5 Tigers lineage. It seems lot of schools will adopt forms from other styles into their curriculum but that does not mean that the form becomes a part of the style.
I'm curious where you got your information on the shaolin temples. My source says that the temple was called, Gi Leu, not Kek Lok Si.
Not that it really matters, just curious. :)
Also, where will you be starting your training? What Sifu will you be training under?

Hey funny tiger .... the teacher i am going to start training under is Master Raymond Kueng. If you have heard anything a would love to hear it. The only information i could find on this master is http://martialarts.za.net/58/viewtopic.php?t=39 .As for the name of the temple, i found it mentioned on a few separate websites of jow gar schools. I'll try and find them again. I typed in the name you mentioned (Gi Leu) and found matches as well. I'll try and look into this further. just for curiosity, it could be a translation issue ...
