Northern Praying Mantis is very leg intensiveLots of movement, lots of stance transitions70% legs, 30% handsSouthern Praying Mantis, from what little I have seen of it, looks nothing like Northern MantisIt uses more stable stances, not as much movement, and mostly handsRealistically, neither is better than the other, unless terrain is an issueNorthern styles were developed to deal with a rocky environment with good solid footingSouthern styles were developed in an area where the terrain was swampy/marshy/less solidIf you are fighting in three feet of snow, in water, on soft earth - Southern Mantis is for you.
