The Hall of Knowledge
A glimpse into the principles, conditioning, and mindset behind Closed-Door Chow Gar Southern Praying Mantis Kung Fu.
Most people only ever see kung fu on the surface.
The Hall of Knowledge exists to show what sits underneath — the principles that make old-skool Southern Mantis effective, direct, and uncompromising.
This is not everything. And it’s not for everyone.
What You’ll Find Inside
Structure & Power — how alignment, tension, and intent create short-range force.
Natural Weapon Conditioning — why the body itself must be trained as a weapon.
Southern Mantis Principles — bridge contact, pressure, shock power.
Mindset & Attitude — why this system was never meant for casual training.
Lineage & Preservation — why some knowledge is shared, and some is earned.
This is insight and context — not a replacement for real training.
Skill is built through guidance, correction, pressure, and time.
