Bung Bu is similar in Wah Lum and CCK Taichi Mantis?

[gunglihchuan]

I have read on a number of occasions that Wah Lum's Big Mantis (Their
version of Bung Bu) is very similar to CCK Tai Chi Praying Mantis' Bung
Bu. There are a number of postings on this subject on the Kung Fu
Magazine Forum.

I have been practicing CCK Tai Chi Praying Mantis for over nine years.

I have studied a little Wah Lum in the past and I have never seen
this set myself. It is taught very near to Sifu level in the Wah Lum
system. I was wondering if anyone has seen it or knows of an Internet
video of it.

This clip is almost exactly how Bung Bu was taught to me. This is how I was taught CCK Tai Chi Mantis Bung Bu.

I was wondering if anyone thinks that it is similar to Big Mantis.

P.S. I do remember that there was an endorsement for the Wah Lum Double Broadswords Book by Sigung Chui Chuk Kai. I believe that he said that he met a number of Master Chan's students. I do not know if this has anything to do with anything but it is a small connection between the two mantis styles.

No. Not similar. But these two versions are more similar to eachother than Big Mantis is to the more commonly known 7* Beng Bu

Agreed, I was going to mention that after watching that video clip.
