Southern Kungfu Fists - Bak Mei 9 Step Push VCD

[small]

Has anyone seen this VCD? Are they doing Leung Ying Eagle Claw? Is this the same form performed in the 'sifu lee bak mei' clip that was on the board a couple of months ago?

Its not the dragon sifu doing ying jow, its a bak mie school in china doing a mixed version of 9 step and has ying jow lin kuil moves and others techniques from other forms.

I've got this VCD, and although it looks very impressive /fast i'm a little unsure as to whether this is really Bak Mei par say or a modern wushu interpretation of the 9 step push form.
The stances all seem really low & extended, and although the sequence of moves is nearly the same as the H.B.Un book, the overall styling seems more modern wushu than traditional.

Now I know very little about Bak Mei, but this doesn't seem quite right!
Any further info from you YKM or BM guys would be appreciated.

cheers

I think this has already been (recently) discussed. Though I have not seen this myself I seem to recall that it was determined that this was not Bak Mei. I believe Fiercest Tiger may be pretty accurate, stating that it may be mixed forms.

In a nutshell, it is "new" Pak Mei from the Har Hon Hung branch, by a student who has a significant Hung Gar background, thus it "looks" hung style.

The Pattern is Luk Hup Gau Bo Twi I'm told by Kei Lun, who know's the people personally, I believe. Perhaps he'll chime in and confirm or correct my comments.

I can't speak directly on the topic, as it is not the same as our style.

Then again, you could just search the archives...
