Palm Hammer Pad Work – Real Power, Real Intent | Chow Gar Mantis Kung Fu

*Palm Hammer Pad Work – Real Power, Real Intent | Chow Gar Mantis Kung Fu* This is *old-skool palm hammer pad work* as it should be trained in **Chow Gar Southern Praying Mantis Kung Fu**. Not tapping. Not slapping. Not stopping your power on the pad. If the pad doesn’t move, you’re wasting your time. In this session we break down how palm hammer power really works: Power comes from the **waist**, not the arms Open and close the ribs to generate force Turn the waist to *spit* power and *sink* it Send power **through the target**, never stop on contact Correct arm extension (no shortening, no over-reaching) Short, fast combinations with **intent**, not pauses Visualisation and mindset – every strike has purpose Chow Gar Mantis is **not rigid**. It’s subtle, heavy, and vicious at close range. You start slow to warm up and build structure. As the rounds go on, the speed increases. By the later rounds, you *should be struggling* — that’s real training. No belts. No fancy movements. No PC nonsense. Just **traditional Mantis pad work**, trained properly. If you want authentic Southern Mantis power, this is where it starts. --- 🔥 Train With Us / Learn More 🌐 *Website & Training Gear:* [https://mantisfistkungfu.co.uk](https://mantisfistkungfu.co.uk) 🛒 *Training Equipment Store:* [https://mantisfistkungfu.co.uk/produc...](https://mantisfistkungfu.co.uk/produc...) 👊 *Free Membership Site (Mantis Cyber Clan):* [https://4pkjkttxzslqxrgzcjb3.app.clie...](https://4pkjkttxzslqxrgzcjb3.app.clie...) 📘 *Facebook Page:* [  / mantisfistkungfuschool  ](  / mantisfistkungfuschool  ) --- 👊 Subscribe for more REAL training Old-Skool Kung Fu Close-Range Combat Traditional Power Development *Train with intent — or don’t bother training at all.*
