“Mei Hua Tui (First Section)” combines hand skills and kicking skills into comprehensive combat techniques, echoing the Mantis martial arts idiom:”hit the above to get the below, and vice versa”. The hand skills are characterized by the Mei Hua “lian (successive) shou (hand)” and supported by kicking techniques targeting the upper, middle and lower range. The skills also cover both long and short distance for attack and defense.
