  Ming Dynasty, when Wang Lang combined the
  swift and fierce hand techniques of the praying
  mantis with the quick and nimble footwork of
  the monkey, making a new and unique form of
  martial art. Because of the establishment of
  Praying Mantis, Wang Lang met with many
  other masters and absorbed the strengths of
  their styles, finally creating the essence of the
  18 family boxing techniques and merging them
  with Praying Mantis. Being transmitted to this

  combat application, The hand techniques of
  Mantis are fast, the body agile. Because of its

  "Rougong-men" ("Soft Skills") branch of
  the Praying Mantis 18 Family Styles. The
  "Soft Skills" are also known as "Six Harmony
  Praying Mantis." Within the whole Praying
  Mantis boxing system, it is considered a very
  important sub-system. After all, during the long
  course of development of Chinese martial arts,
