Is this your Ping Jang Kuen?

Ben:

Yeah that is it. The opening we use is different, we use the traditional one with the 3 bows, etc... There were a couple of moves different from the way I do it but basically the same.

How about yours? I have seen a portion of the Chan Family set and what I saw was similar but I only saw a portion.

Peace.

It's odd, first time I saw it I thought it was a completely different form, but the more I watch it the more similarities I see. Ours is really tough, a definite "black sash" level form (I know you don't use coloured sashes, but you know what I mean). Linked sweeps, lotus positions, combinations which deviate from the norm. I think it's a little shorter than yours though.

Some of our forms are very similar to others I have seen (ie. Ping Kuen, Sup Gee Kow Dah Kuen, Baat Kwa Sum Kuen) while others are completely different (ie. Siu Moi Fah & Baat Mo Kuen).

This is our Bak Mo Kuen (well, half of it)

Yeah, that is totally different from ours. Ours is extremely long (the longest form we have) and has a lot of double kick combos, one leg stuff and more kicking in general than most of sets. At 40, I have realized this is ideal for a young person becuase it is just too long and too dynamic to go 100% all out. You have to reserve some energy.

[Ben Gash]

Yeah, ours is 180+ moves, and there's single leg stuff and linked kicking towards the end. It's the linked Lok Gwei Mas that kill me though.
