What is Southern Preying Mantis?

The Southern style of Tong Long has hardly any leg work, placing greater emphasis on the shapes of the hand to deliver force to 'nerve points' and the more vulnerable areas of the body.

Welcome to The Mantis Kung Fu Academy - Home of the Black Mantis - The longest established Southern Preying Mantis school on the Gold Coast

The Mantis Kung Fu Academy is a family orientated mantis kung fu school. The Black Mantis logo is unique to Sifu Matthew Hansen's training system. We cater for anyone who is interested in learning a traditional, yet modern, fighting and self defence mantis kung fu style.
Our instructors are AKWF and MAIA accredited. All instructors have current first aid certificates and Blue Cards.
At our academy, you are able to suit your training requirements to your own needs. You can join our regular Mantis Kung Fu classes in a group scenario or engage in a private lesson, either at our academy, in the privacy of your own home or at your favourite park or beach.

All lessons are held in a safe and regulated training environment, overseen by Sifu Matthew Hansen or a high level senior mantis kung fu instructor.

"Happy Academy = Happy Families"

Thanks to eveyone at Kung Fu , especially Sifu and all the other teachers whom dedicate there time and knowledge at the Mantis Kung Fu Academy. Iysis has enjoyed attending Kung Fu and learning new things. As a parent I have felt completely welcome and have found all the teachers and students extremely respectful to myself and each other. Iysis has made new relationships and loves 2 share his new experiences with us at home. It has boosted his confidence and improved his focus. I find the Academy extremely organised, proffesional and a happy enviroment for my son.
Looking forward to my son continuing his training next year. Wishing you all a Merry Xmas and the best for the New Year. Rachael (mum) and Iysis.
