Northern White Crane

Never heard of a northern white crane style... can you supply some history? Just curious.

I'm not sure, but I think northern white crane might be the style developed is Szechuan Province. I really don't know, I'm just taking a shot in the dark.

okay i finally found out what we doi at our school

we start off with northern long fist, with a basic stance form, yi lu twan, moi fa, then we do some cannon. we learn a couple different styles to create a good base so we can recognize moves easily and learn forms quicker.

but basically its all shaolin or based on.

I am studying all styles and none. Big on aikdiko(for grapples, ) taekwon do ( for footwork base), ninjitsu ( for evasive manouvoures and qigon style) also big on wing chun dim mak and currently seeking nthn shaolin for expansion on above. Also have 20 yrs + worth of formal applicative health, fitness and nutritional study...but loving to study all styles as they present.
