China Matters' Feature: Mastering the Mantis Boxing in East China's Yantai
In this video, American host Jack Klumpp heads to Yantai in search of Yu Yongbo, a real-life "Mantis Master." Born and raised in Laiyang, the part of Yantai where Mantis Boxing originated 400 years ago, Master Yu is the ninth-generation inheritor of this kung fu style.
However, Jack only has 48 hours to learn with Master Yu. He pushes himself to the limit attempting different Mantis Boxing fighting stances and attacks, speed and strength training, and even the "iron arm" exercise where he has to repetitively slam his arms into a tree.
Does Jack have what it takes to master the basics of Mantis Boxing? What does Mantis Boxing mean to a city like Yantai and what is the ultimate goal of kung fu?
