In the later years as Praying Mantis Kung Fu continued to evolve, some characteristics of Taichi and Plum Blossom Fist were integrated into the style, giving rise to what we now know as Taichi Plum
blossom Mantis. The practitioner of this style must balance the Yin and Yang in one’s body, aligning their energy whilst constatly rotating the upper and lower extremities. Whilst the striking hands
must move like a blooming plum blossom, cutting the oponent like the beads of the flower.
