Mantis Tantui (螳螂彈腿) — Seven Star Mantis

螳螂彈腿 (Tángláng Tántuǐ, "Mantis Spring-Leg") is the foundational leg-and-line drill of Seven Star Praying Mantis in the canon of Wong Hon Fan (黃漢勛), Luo Guangyu line. Tantui ("spring-leg / snapping leg") is a foundation set shared across much of Northern boxing; the Mantis version recasts it in the branch's own vocabulary. It is organised not as one long routine but as 14 short "roads" (路) — each a there-and-back line repeated over a fixed number of sections (節) — that install the kicks, hooking hands, and stepping the empty-hand forms later recombine.

The form — the fourteen roads (拳譜)
