Drunken Mantis Sets

[yingching]

I know that Wong Hon Funn Lineage priactices the Juey Lo Han Set (Drunken Monk). Are ther any other lineages that play any particular drunken sets. :)

I suspect that this Drunken Mantis form taught by WHF is not a PM form. Here are some reasons why:
-The form is named Drunken Lohan.
-Of all WHF manuscripts this is the only form with 6 characters per move. All the other empty hand sets have 5 characters per move.
-The style of the manuscripts is out of character with the rest of the open hand forms.
-In the forward to the book he mentions the names of 8 drunken style forms. One of them is Drunken Mantis.

Are you in the 7 Star school?
Before WHF died he tried to have all his forms published in books. Although he didn't succeed he came close.
There are also books of MA medicine, theories, a book of all his published articles, basic exercises. You get the picture.
Since Westerners have an interest in these kinds of books some Chinese teachers in the West are now making books for non-Chinese readers to enjoy.
