Original 108 locks. Personally from my research there is no such thing as the original or just having 108. The 108 number is a symbolic gesture to mean infinite.
I've only learned "80" of the structured locks taught by my teacher Leung Shum but have learned so many more than that from him and other teachers. "Locking" yourself into a set number or format is very limiting.

Shaolin Do -
I would suggest that you purchase a book called "The Secrets of Eagle Claw Kung-Fu Ying Jow Pai" written by Grandmaster Shum Leung.
This is a great book on Northern Eagle Claw Kung-Fu system that explains the basic foundation of Eagle Claw, history, fighting principles, locks #1 - 30 from the "108 Locking Techniques of Nok Fei" and much more.
You can order this book through Tuttle Publishing or check your local book stroes.

I crush things.
already have it
you would be amazed at my kung fu library.
To be honest, even better than that is Dr. Yang Jwing Ming's Comprehensive applications of Shaolin Chin Na... regardless that it isnt eagle claw, there are TONS of locks... excellent book. many of the locking techniques are similar to eagle claw too...
As for learning under Leung Shum... Must be nice.

He is under Grandmaster Fu Leung. If you want to learn how to actually use Eagle Claw you will do well in that system.
Good luck,

Eagle Claw is Eagle Claw. No difference. Just the emphasis of the instructor teaching.
You got forms nuts who can't fight their way out of a paper bag
You got fighters who "can fight" but don't use their "style". Chop Sakie. (in my opinion if it works fine)
In all its the individual not the style..

From what I understand Bak Shaolin Eagle Claw is a different system of Eagle Claw than the one taught by Grandmaster Lau. Fu Leung is the Grandmaster of Bak Shaolin Eagle Claw. His fighting team wins many medals on a regular basis. How well they conform to Eagle Claw when they fight, that I dont know. From what I have seen there are very few people that have the skill to use Kung Fu at it's highest levels. In my not so humble opinion there are not anywhere near as many Masters as people would like you to think and don't even get me started on the "Grandmasters".

Is that suppose to be a "southern" eagle claw form? is there even a southern eagle claw?

I recall a "shaolin" eagle claw in Taiwan and Macao that was done with the thumb and first two fingers ( Index and middle), not like the full handed eagle claw of Leung.
But I don't think it was a southern system.

There is such a thing as Southern Eagle Claw. From HK, developed from Northern Eagle Claw. Yes, I think the claw is more "dragon"
