I wonder if these are related to the taolu book series? I have been looking for video versions of some of these for some time. There are a bunch of weapons sets as well.
Mei Hua Tang Lang
Mian Quan
I had the opportunity to learn Mian Quan last year but unfortunately failed to complete it.
Xiao Luohan
Luohan Quan
First 3 sections of Chang Hu Xin Yi Men performed together
Great. Who did you study it with? This is the first time I've seen anyone outside of Shi Deyang's school perform it.Quote:

It's a shortened and poorly done version of the compulsory Nanquan set in sport Wushu.
Where does MianQuan actually come from? Looks and sounds like an interesting subset of Shaolin.Quote:

There are much longer versions of Mianquan sets in which this is much more obvious.Quote:

What other sections follow?Quote:

Maybe you ask her, as I am confused myself. The videos doesnt seem to be really privat made but also more unsual for an DVD/VCD series...
Kind regards,

Good question. I thought there were 6. Thinking about it I am not even sure where I developed that assumption.Quote:
