In my continual research I would like to get insights from all who have learned the various mantis style essential forms (eight step 1-6) and (7 *, Plum Blossom and others 1-7).
From an 8 step inside source, I had an opportunity to witness the performance 1-3 of the essential forms from 8 step. In my research Chiang Hua Long modified and condensed the essential forms from 7 to 6 forms for 8 step. The first three 8 step essential forms are very nice and you can see how the baqua and hsing-i were incorporated into 8 step.
I am curious as how the originally essential forms were in Plum Blossom PM before it was modified Chiang Hua Long.
With great respect,
