Interception Boxing (攔截拳) — Seven Star Mantis
On this page
攔截拳 (Lánjié Quán, "Interception Boxing") is a 35-posture empty-hand form of Seven Star Praying Mantis, from the published canon of Wong Hon Fan (黃漢勛) in the Luo Guangyu (羅光玉) line. The name says the theme: to intercept and cut off — the form drills meeting and shutting down an incoming attack at the bridge, then answering on the same beat with the mantis's hooking hands, ramming claws, and stacked elbows.
The form — move-by-move (拳譜)
