song of mantis

Tip your head, raise your neck
tuck inHui Yin point, sink Qi to Dantian
shoulders relaxed, elbows sunken
wrist sunken, fingers raised
chest hollow, spine raised
the form is like a cat ready to pounce

头往上顶脖颈竖
会阴内收气沉腹
沉肩垂肘
含晚竖手
含胸拔背
形似猫扑鼠

These are the essential points for correct standing posture in mantis. You should bear them in mind when training stances and basics.
