LGW's Fourteen Roads
I go to a school that still teaches the Fourteen Roads. However, we teach it much later in the curriculum than many might expect. My teacher has noticed in his twenty plus years of teaching that many beginners to the Mantis style (not only beginners to the martial arts), experience great difficulty in mastering techniques such as the Seven Star stance, the Mantis hook and maintaining their balance after executing the various kicks. As such, many beginners find it extremely difficult to grasp Master Law's Fourteen Roads. Master Law's Fourteen Roads is very practical and immediately applicable but it isn't easy for a complete beginner to the style to pick up. Rather than discourage them, we teach them other drills and even teach them forms such as Bung Bo, Sup Baht Sao, Tchaap Tchoi and Daw Ghong before we come back around to teach them Fourteen Roads as taught by Master Law.
A "Laughing Buddha" or "Dai Tao Fut" is usually found cavorting in front of and leading the lion(s) in a Southern Lion Dance troupe.
I speak for myself and not for my Si Fu nor kwoon, so any errors I make are mine alone.
