What styles and systems came from this area? Anyone study any of them here…
I’ve heard of Snake and some Dragon system but thats about it…any info?
Style: Emei Quan
Description: Emei is the name of one of the four major Buddhist mountains (the others being Wutai, Putuo, and Jiuhua).
Emei is also one of the major martial mountains, being located just behind Song Mountain (Shaolin) and Wudang Mountain. Just like these other mountains, a wide range of kung fu styles have descended from this venerated sacred place.
Since the Emei mountain range is renowned for its abundant wildlife, it comes as no surprise that Emei Quan is famous for its animal styles, most particularly monkey style and its unique southern styles.
Low stable stances with little hopping are characteristic of this style. Jumps are executed very lightly and quickly and its movements are very diverse. Many of its most lethal techniques are derived from the use of the wrist.

You do realize that Shaolin Wolf cited that from an article I wrote in our Jan 2000 issue. Scroll to the bottom of Shaolin Wolf and you’ll see our citation. Get to the real source 
If you want to find our more about Emei (aka O-mei) check out our O-mei special Sep 2000 or our line of O-mei videos.
That website cited Gene’s article published here:

Hope this helps.
I type too slow Gene. I was trying to give you some credit, but you beat me to it! 
“our line of O-mei videos.”
lofl.
Yeah, I just dug it off webcrawler real quick. Didnt read through the whole thing.
Kudos gene
We try to cover all the major mountains
We’re working our way down:
Songshan (Shaolin)
Wudang
and O-mei (above)
Who else offers you that?
Gene, working your way down has too many conotations associated with it… you are supposed to work your way up…
Yeah, and Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming wrote a book on Emei Baguazhang as well as produced 3 tapes covering the book. Sadly, Martial Arts Mart only has Tape 1 and Tape 2 of the series.
Cool, I’m supposed to learn a form my teacher calls Emei sword… it is a straight sword form..

I know that, I was simply doing plugs to Yang’s stuff on Martial Arts Mart, line Gene does, in case someone buys stuff. Plus Martial Arts Mart discounts some stuff, including YJM material so it is cheaper.
lol
Genes rubbin off on you
Anyone checked out his book on baguazhang?
I was about to buy that and the book on taiji applications the other day, but was low on $$.
I like his longfist book and taiji book, don’t know about the bagua…
The longfist book is excellent
Favorite yang book to date is still comprehensive applications of shaolin chin na however… and Im currently reading the root of chinese qigong. Its a slow read when Im trying to remember everything…
Liang not Yang
The Emei Baguazhang book was written by Liang Shou Yu Shifu and published through Yang Shifu’s publishing house.
It is a very good book with a lot of theory in both the esoteric and training drills which many bagua books ignore.
Though in my opinion it is more geared to someone who has some background in Bagua theory and training.
Lots of photos of various masters of Baguazhang.

Thx for the info. I plan on buying both when I have the $$…
I have his QiGong for Martial Arts and Health books as well as his Taiji Sword book (the red one). The only reason why I got the Taiji book was because it was on sale for half off, so I was like “Can’t beat that…”. When I get my birthday money Im thinking of getting his Chin Na videos.
Edit: Well so much for that freaking plan. I just got my clothes outta the washing machine, apparently my keyless entry for my car broke off and went through the washer, meaning, it doesnt work now. So I got to spend my birthday money and buy a car alarm.
