On the other thread, there was mentioning of Jut Sow (Shuaishou in Mandarin). This term is pretty interesting in that some suggest it is a specific style of mantis. I have done a little looking into where this term could possibly come from. What I found is that there were at least 3 major PM GMs who came down to HK to teach Kung Fu. They were Luo Guangyu (7 Stars), Chui Chuk Kai (Taiji), and Bao Guangying (Meihwa). It is believe that GM Bao wrote a Quanpu with the title "Meihua Shuaishou Tanglang Tupu"
(pictorial Manual on Plum Blossom Throwing Hand Praying Mantis). Here's a link to the cover of the manuiscript in the collection of Quanpu of Shifu Ilya Profatilov:

Please note that my translation is slightly different that Shifu Profatilov's.

GM Bao, who was once an escort security guard, was from Yantai, Shandong. His first styles was Taizu Changquan and later he studied Meihwa Tanglang (possibly Jiang Hualong's lineage). It is believe that his teaching, at least theory wise, are closer to Changquan than to Tanglang. Could the Shuaishou designation meant to point that difference out? That we will have investigate more. Could he be somehow an acquintance of GM Li Kwan Shan of Wah Lum PM? Anyway, it would seem that there is a relationship between Meihwa (Tanglang) and Shuaishou (?). We just have to figure it out what exactly that relationship is.

Any comments regarding Meihwa Shuaishou is welcomed.
