Pak Mei Lotus flower

[EAZ]

Hello,

I remember a thread on a "flower form" in Pak Mei a while back but cannot find it. Can anyone tell me more about this form, where it comes from and what lineages of PM practice it?

Thanks,

EAZ

Hey, kudos to you for your excellent English Language version of the website! Tremendous effort! Beautiful, subtle, informative, and quick.

A lot of great lore as well, fresh stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Sifu Troung told me the form comes from a village in china, thats where he got this form.

[Shaolin Master]

a 'village' ???

with so many villages in China that isn't very specific :-)

[fiercest tiger]

Yeah, i know thats all he told me, maybe you can ask him as you and him get along well??

Hows things going in china?

Eaz,

Isnt the hand technique called lin fa sau?

[Shaolin Master]

truetrue........we go wayyyy back. How is the little man doing anyways ?

Nah honestly I am not interested in Lian Hua Shou anyways.....

I just thought an answer like :
where is chinese tea from ?
China

was a little obscure

everything is wonderful here. So good that well it may be a long long while if ever that I consider living back in Aus....who knows though

Are you possibly referring to Fairy Lady or Plum Blossom forms ?

[Yum Cha]

...so, we won't be seeing you back in Sydney until your knees go? <grin>

Good to hear all is well.

Hey FT.

MAC, as in pronounced makkkkk?

hmmmmm...

Are you going to show us your forms that only you know and hardly any one else? I bet NO unless for a good price or years after training in the common forms.

And the comment where does Chinese Tea come from, China. That was a bit harsh wasn't it?

I have never heard someone say
-I have a diamond mine want a map to find it?
-I have the best fishing spot I should send details on how to get there to a fishing magazine so more people know where to go!
-I have a duck that lays golden eggs want to know where I keep it?
-I have found a small village in China with an old man teaching RARE Pak Mei forms to people maybe I should post his whereabouts on KFO?

I have never heard one of the above said and I reckon to the day I die I never will.

My sifu has started to show me a pak mei flower set (not plum blossom). Im afraid that i do not know the name of the set as of yet, although sifu will tell me when im ready.
alot of the hand movements resemble a flower opening and closing, its very gracefull.

drunken master,

Thank you for posting.
What lineage are you from?
- HK (CLC lineage post 1930s)
- Guangdong (CLC lineage pre 1930s)
- Vietnam (CLC lineage pre 1930s or other)
- elsewhere or other lineage in China (???)
- other...

I ask this question as I may have a bearing on the name of the form or its origins.

Thanks,

EAZ
