    It looks like mantis to me also but Northern not Southern. Southern won't kick high like that.

    There is no REAL secrets in Wing Chun, but because the forms are conceptual you have to know how to decipher the information..That's the secret..

    I don't know. There is some definite Wing Chun movements in there, but not using Wing Chun structure. My guess is that this guy is blending some Wing Chun with another style, because it doesn't really look like pure Mantis to me .....northern or southern.

    I think it is a southern system. Granted, he does do a couple of higher kicks, but it still looks southern for the most part. And mantis definitely.

    Neither. It's clearly labeled as "Hung Kuen doing a wooden dummy set".
