drunkmunky,

Unless the weapon sets has been developed recently, the style, Lo Han, has no weapons that it can be linked directly as such that it can be called a Lo Han weapon set. Throughout history of CMA, the use of weapons was regarded as a 'trade skill' and many weapons were introduced to various style curriculums throughout time. With the exception of very few weapon sets, it is very difficult to directly link specific weapon sets to specific styles.

In the past, out of respect for each other, exchanged sets of which many were weapon sets. That is why many styles do not attach their style name onto a weapon set. They usually keep the original name like Five Tiger Spear or Foot Soldier Saber.
