    I can't picture exactly the moves you're describing. I used to train Wah Lum several years ago. But Wah Lum do use claws and have double punches to an opponent's chest.

    He might have learned the form when he was in Wah Lum, but it's probably not be a part of the Wah Lum curriculum.

    I think I've seen sifu leroy k. doing a form that is pretty much similar to the one described ... but I may be wrong!

    I do remember awhile back seeing one of those discovery chanel martial arts documentaries, and they had a Wah Lum section. And during this part, one of the Wah Lum people did Nan Quan. Nan Quan, is basically a modern wushu form combining Southern hand techniques and some northern stancework.
