Many years ago, I witnessed a young woman doing an unusual form in a park. There wre other people nearby doing taiji, but she did not appear to be part of their group.
The movements she was doing were very linear, quick and direct.
When I asked her what the movements were she replied "phoenix box."
I havn't come across that term since that time.
Has anyone here heard of "Phoenix Boxing?"
What exactly is it?

Is this the same thing?

Maybe Xingyi? Xingyi tends to look linear, quick and direct, plus I think there's a number of people that translate one of the 12 animal forms into english as Pheonix

If she was spreading her arms out in a circle, and then attacking with both fists to the front, it's the Phoenix (Tai Bird) from Xingyi

Sounds like spm to me as in that book link from masterkiller.
I wonder if this is the book firehawk is always going on about ("CHUKKA SHAOLIN PHEONIX FIST") on the Southern forum. Why is Chu Gar being marketed as phoenix-eye fist unless it's a breakaway?
