Hey Guys,

I remember is the past someone had a post reply (can't recall where) regarding the translated name for Sup Baat Sao (Sow, etc etc etc) and how it was 18 Elders vs. 18 (Locking) Hands depending on Cantonese or Mandarin, but was the same form.

Anyone know anything on this or can chime in?

Saw that one. There was another post reply from a while back though that had the same info, yet went in to much more detail. Problem is I can't seem to find it or recall where it was. :p

Thank you for the quick reply though.

WHF explained that this 18 elders form is to inmemory of the 18 styles that made up the mantis. It was believed that WWS exchanged this form from his classmate.
