THeir version doesn't stay on a straight line but goes in all 4 directions, although it is the same applications in the same sequence it no longer really looks like shaolin quan. Very interesting to see though. In some respects closer to the encyclopedia than Dejuns sets, but in other respects further removed.
The Xiao, Da hong quan looks like someone has tried to improve xiao hong quan. I can see the applications are good, but it doesn't quite seem to fit with shaolin character to me, the 'flavour' is different... Still if I get the chance I'll revise it.
I can see some Taizu movements in the lao hong quan of Liuzhenhai, very interesting.
