The primary goal of the Praying Mantis Martial Art Institute is promoting Chinese martial arts as well as Chinese culture, philosophy and to share an authentic and effective fighting system. Any person who is willing to abide by the school rules and has a desire to learn may join. All classes are conducted by Master Tony Chuy. We offer instruction in four general areas: |
 |
|
|
A complete
program from basic to advanced levels. This style is known for its speed,
agility and flexibility. It utilizes both long range and close quarter
tactics, grabbing and trapping strategies and take-down techniques. Practicing
this style develops coordination, builds up good reflexes and improves
mental focus in order to remain calm in any fighting situation. Students
from absolute novices in the martial arts to previous practitioners of
other martial arts are welcome.

|
This
twenty-four-class program, also known as "Chin Na" in Mandarin
Chinese, offers knowledge and techniques to defend against grabs, holds
and chokes and to immobilize assailants with effective subduing and controlling
techniques. Students will learn how to use minimal force and scientific
theories of leverage, momentum, angular force, change of direction, pressure
points and joint-lock methods to take down assailants. This is an excellent
program for those who want to learn some effective techniques without
committing to a long term enrollment in a martial arts program. This program
is especially recommended for women and law enforcement agents who frequently
encounter dangerous, close-contact situations.

|
|
This
gentle, classical exercise form is designed to improve health, develop
inner energy (chi) and teach how to use minimal force against a
stronger opponent. This program teaches mental concentration and relaxation
as well as practical, but non-aggressive self-defense techniques. By practicing
this system, one will relax the body, reduce stress and improve circulation.
This program is suitable for people who seek a less strenuous activity
or those who are physically limited but wish to gain the benefits of health
and self-defense.

The
school offers traditional Chinese weapons training including saber, staff,
spear, sword, daggers, 2-sectional staff, 3-sectional staff, 7-sectional
chain whip and long-handled broadsword (halberd).These classes are open
to other martial arts stylists who wish to learn a Chinese weapon set
without going through the full training program that our school offers.
Each program lasts from 10 to 15 classes.
