IMO here we see not a lot of speed but a lot of energy [/quote]
Back to the "speed" subject", multiple fast punches that exist in the praying mantis system may have power in the 1st punch (because you can put your body behind it). It may not have enough power in the 2nd, or the 3rd punch (because you don't have time to use the whole body). This is why the praying mantis techniques are good to be used for "set up".[/quote]
If this is your understanding, then clearly you have never gotten past your hands.
