The 3 Versions

Greetings and welcome aboard MonkSanTe.

There are 3 popular versions of Lan Jeet (among others?).

  1. 7*PM Grandmaster Law Gown Yuk (sp?) taught his version in Ching Wu.

  2. MeiFah PM (?) Grandmaster Lee Kwan Shan taught his version in Taiwan

  3. Taiji PM Grandmaster Chiu Chuk Kai taught his version in Hong Kong.

Both 7* and Taiji use the same name (in some materials the second word Jie is again different!)although the forms look pretty different. It is translated as interception as in above mentioned.

The one GM Lee taught is the Luanjie, which means “chaotically connected”, is however similar in structure to the Lan jie (Lan Jeet) in Taiji PM but the names are different. The meaning and intend in the forms are then different although structure wise they are similar. It is kind of complicated to explain but I am sure those who have studied PM style(s) for awhile know what I mean. Sorry couldn’t offer much help.
