I found the following clip of a very complicated Wah Lum form on myspace tv. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the form is.

Hope I`m not putting my foot in my mouth, isnt this WL 3rd form? Could be some added stuff & things taken out, dont know it has been a long time since I trained it and I let it go.

yep yu shan, 95% 3rd form, then 2nd form in the end.

Yup, third form.

I have a couple of vids of sifu doing 3rd a looong time ago. I think it was one of his demo sets back then. I'll see if I can put them up.

Yep, mostly 3rd Form. Dropped a few moves, added a few like the 2nd Form ending and used it for demos and such.

I put it together for the 1998 China trip and did it at Master Leung's school.

Interesting but MC wanted me to do something else when we got to the Wah Lum school and I told him I'd rather do what I had been practicing. He said what will I tell my classmates whn they see a non-standard form (not exactly his words) but then he said he'll just tell them it's Dave Scott Form and let it go.

It's interesting because from what I saw at the Wah Lum school I doubt they would know the difference. I can't imagine 3rd Form is exactly the same over there but I could be wrong.

Actually I practiced my own version for so long I doubt I could do it the right way.

The Dave Scott Form sounds better than 3rd form. ;) Anywho, 3rd form, 2nd form, Lok Lo, Little Mantis and Big Mantis are my favorites!

Israel, you have Shifu Art doing 3rd? Well anything you have of Shifu Art is a treat, more people should see him move.
