Kung fu forms are choreographed sequences of movements that resemble a dance, incorporating stances, footwork, hand techniques, and kicks. Found in many traditional martial arts styles, these forms serve as a structured way to practice and internalize fighting techniques. They enhance physical fitness, balance, coordination, and memory.
In a beginner’s program, the first form typically focuses on stances, laying the foundation for more complex movements. As students progress, forms incorporate hand techniques, footwork, and advanced techniques.
The Iron Mantis Martial Arts system features 10 fundamental forms, each emphasizing different aspects of martial skill, such as power, speed, stability, and fluidity. These include:
For advanced students, the system expands to 18 empty-hand advance forms and 18 weapon forms, deepening mastery of techniques.
Our foundational forms focus on various aspects of combat, including kicking, striking, grappling, and qigong exercises. These forms also improve flexibility, breath control, and overall conditioning, making them beneficial for martial artists and athletes alike.
Forms are a vital part of martial arts training, helping practitioners refine coordination, reflexes, and strength while preserving the rich traditions of their respective styles.
