i'll look them up... Thanks ")
I've seen you tube clips of a french guy doing pi gua and tong bei, but they were seperate training clips.... i dont see a diffrence in the forms of pi gua and pi gua/tong bei. is it all just pi gua/tong bei now?
tong bei, pi gua and fan zi are similar styles.
however, each has own huge curriculum, open hand and weapon forms.
they are 3 separate schools.
within tong bei, there are many branches, too
such as hong dong, wu xing, white ape, ---
hong dong is similar to chen tai chi long fist
white ape has a lot of shuai jiao, popular in beijing
---
first time i've came across fanzi getting mentioned.... i can see the likeness of pi gua and tong bei there...
