拳 = fist / style of kung fu
Praying Mantis is a style of kung fu. I'll have to update this when I get to learn more.
A style of kung fu that my dad grew up practicing. Although this is what he practiced, he believes that it doesn't matter the style of kung fu, what's important is to know yourself and be able to protect or defend yourself when you need to.
