Saturday Tiger Mantis Training

What to Expect at Saturday Training

Turning up to Saturday training gives you a regular chance to train alongside others who enjoy martial-arts practice. The session runs weekly on Saturday mornings and welcomes children, youth and adults of varying experience levels. Participants spend time working through traditional Tiger Mantis and Southern Praying Mantis forms, refining footwork, strikes and defensive movements in a structured yet supportive setting.

Everyone begins with a shared warm-up before moving into partner drills and technique work. The focus stays on practical skills that build coordination, timing and self-defence awareness. Beginners receive guidance on basic stances while more experienced students explore advanced combinations. The group atmosphere encourages steady progress through repetition and shared feedback.

• Form practice covering core Tiger Mantis and Praying Mantis sequences
• Partner drills to develop timing and response
• Conditioning exercises that improve strength and mobility
• Self-defence applications drawn from the integrated systems
• Group review of techniques to reinforce learning
• Opportunities to train at your own pace within the class structure
