What is the predominant style represented in the those videos?
Also, what is the point of “shaking” when doing the hard chi gung? I haven’t seen that before.

It kinda looks like a mixture of hung gar and southern short hand be it southern praying mantis, bak mei or yau kung mun. One of the sets looked like southern mantis.
Yeah, there was definitely an SPM form, and a Bak Mei form, and what looked like Lung Ying, as well of course as Choy Li Fut.
We are a Hung Gar and Wing Chun school. My Sifu has studied many styles during his lifetime, and besides the Hung Gar and Wing Chun systems, he teaches certain key forms from the styles he learned that he has adopted into his own style of gung fu. You can see the influence of Hakka arts in our Hung Kuen. The kung fu my Sifu teaches is very much influenced from all the styles he has learned, this is what I mean when i talk about a Sifu making his gung fu his own. Many times when we learn techniques, you can spot different styles, but all working together, its pretty cool.
When you talk about “shaking”, which form are you talking about? Is it the begining of Gung Gee Fook Fu that the young kid is doing in the begining?
You are correct, we are a Southern Shaolin kung fu academy, hence the name Ling Nam Siu Lum, which translates to “Southern Region Shaolin Fist”. We do learn a couple of northern forms too.
We learn the full system Hung Gar and Wing Chun; and certain forms from Bak Mei, Lung Ying, Choy Lee Fut, Lama Pai White Crane, 7 star mantis, and eventualy 
SPM .
ill be happy to answer any questions, and appreciate any coments you may have.

What Lama Pai forms does your school teach?
Can’t speak for Fu-pow but I have the same question. At :31 secs in, you see a young asian looking guy do the beginning of Gung Ji. He is “shaking” his body through the movements. There is older man doing a similar section from Sup Ying/Ng Ying later in the clip but he doesn’t do the shaking as pronounced.
So what is the emphasis in the shaking?
Just so you know I’m not being critical, we also shake in parts of Tit Sin/Sup Ying (not in Gung Ji). Our emphasis is to loosen the waist and then lock it in. It’s a short shake and not through out the movement. Ha Say Fu also does a shake motion and it emphasizes a sort of fajing type energy to work on short power.
Shaking? I just thought he was cold!!!
It’s almost like a rocking motion where the weight is being shifted from foot to foot. Also, I’m not being critical but I haven’t seen it performed this way before.
hey Sifu Parrella..
we teach Chut Ya Bo
i understand what you mean. We do some “settling in” as i think it would better be described. We normaly do it on our Jai Kiu’s. You can see me do it on one of the clips here, during Gung Gee Fook Fu…at about 2:00…we do this to kind of root, and center yourself…

Its cool, i understand. if you guys didnt ask, things would be misenterpreted. Thats why we post these vid’s, for the criticism!
There are two types of “shaking” we do in the Tiet Sien Kuen, one is similar to what i did in the previous mentioned clip, where we settle in, i beleive this is what you mean by “loosen the waist and then lock it in”..[i have adapted this into my other Hung Kuen sets].Then there is the parts where we shake just the hands, near the sides of the head.
..Sometimes the younger kids get nervous when they perform :o , and I think he was just over excited…and placed the emphesis in the wrong spot. It was more as a performance thing.
