File:Mantis fist comparison.JPG

Summary
This picture is actually a merger of two different photos. The illustration on top is an altered version of image:MantisLegGBMNH.jpg, which is from a book that is in the public domain. I took out the descriptive text in order to fit the photo to size. The bottom picture is a copyrighted screenshot from a video of a Northern Praying Mantis boxer showing the defensive hand postures of the style. Here is where I retrieved the screenshot: http://www.xujinge.com/f4_1.shtml

I will use the merged photos in the Northern Praying Mantis article to show what the Mantis hook fist looks like in comparison to an actual mantis hook.

Fair use rationale for the bottom photo in Northern Praying Mantis

 * 1) It is not being used for commercial purposes.
 * 2) No free equivalent can be created without the direct help of an expert Mantis Boxer.
