Is praying mantis style kung fu a good work out?

Question

i have a great opportunity to begin learning this style of martial arts, however, im notsure if i want to do it. i'm looking for more inspiration to begin. also, im wondering, is it a good work out?

Answer 1

yes.. but monkey style is the best workout.

it's a very acrobatic kung fu style with movements often include falling, lunging, grabbing, jumping, and tumbling.

On the other hand, Praying Mantis style is famous for its speed and continuous attacks. Another prominent feature of the style is its complex footwork, borrowed from Monkey Kung Fu.

Why not try all styles and figure out which style suits you best.

Have fun.

Answer 2

If you are doing your kung fu properly it should be closer to a meditation technique.

Answer 3

pretty much all martial arts is a work out, but if you were to do a martial arts where you are constantly moving, then you would have a great workout!
