I learned a form called pat sin ken. There supposedly also is a Tsui (drunken) pat sin ken form. The pat sin ken i learned is not from pak mei but from another style.

what did you hear about it?

Jeui Bat Sin is the the form based on the Taoist Eight Drunken Immortals, who wanted to enter a divine palace but got drunk instead (etc etc).

I don't know anything in particular about the form in Bak Mei system, but the Eight Drunken Immortals form is included in many systems that derive from Shaolin (eg. Choy Lay Fut).

Yes, the complete name of the form is Jeui Bat Sin Kuen.

Mr. Lau here made me remember that the Lau Gar Jeui Bat Sin Kuen is probably the most known Eight Drunken Immortals form. It's also said that the Lau Gar "version" is the most authentic of them all.

Kei Lun once said something about there being a Drunken pattern practiced in Guangzhou by the Sui Ting Fun disciples.

I think an old CLF sifu learnt bak mei and mixed and made a form up called Bat Shin Kuen 8 immortals form.

I think he was from BAK SIN CHOY LEE FUT, i think!!
