I am doing a Quan Pu comparison for the Yang Taijiquan Tao Lu and I was curious if anyone is aware of the reason Cheng Man Ching removed White Snake Darts Tongue and Hit Tiger Left/Right from the Yang Taijiquan system when he created his 37 Movement Short Form?

Edit:
I found more missing moves. The following is a complete(?) list of what is missing from the Cheng Form compared to the Long Form which is comprised of 37 Forms or Postures.
1. Turn Body and Strike
2. Needle at Sea Bottom
3. Fan through Back
4. High Pat on Horse + High Pat on Horse w/ Pierce Palm
5. Step Forward, Plant Punch
6. Hit Tiger
7. Twin Peaks Strike the Ears
8. White Snake Darts Tongue
9. Cross Shaped Legs

Any speculation would be helpful as well. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone wish to share Quan Pu from alternative Yang Forms? Guan Ping? Royal Guard?

Sincerely,
Randy Brown
