Praying Mantis Fist (螳螂拳, Tánglángquán), also known as Northern Praying Mantis Style and Tōrō-ken, is a style of Chinese martial arts that employs whip-like motions to deflect direct attacks, creating openings for precise strikes to the opponent's vital spots. It is used by Kung Lao in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, and then by Shujinko in Mortal Kombat: Deception, Mortal Kombat: Unchained and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. The style is also used by the Konquest version of Shang Tsung in MKD's Konquest mode.
