    That's quite an impressive list! With all that knowledge and experience, it seems that the WL newbies would listen when you have something to say...........

    It is possible that 18 Elders is just skimming the surface.

    What were your favorite forms/sets/weapons you learned in WL?

    Shaolin Dude-

    No disrespect, but what do you mean "that's it"? By my count, thats 58 forms, not too shabby!!!! That is by no means the entire WL system, but it is quite an impressive list. They do have nice forms. You should go to the WL in Boston and pick up a manual to find out the entire # of forms- too long to post. As far as Hung Gar's Tiger Crane, it's not officially a part of the WL system (as far as I know) but there definitely are/were Sifu's in WL who know it from cross training/previous experience. Why not just go see Bob Rosen up there in Boston and get a handbook?

    Yes it is an impressive list. Not to mention how long the forms were! WL forms, both hand and weapons, were lengthy, challenging and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. There is the issue of the southern flavor... not necessarily a bad thing.

    forms

    Jack squat-I didn't learn all of them, just listing forms out of the handbook. I did learn all the hand forms except for the advanced set list and big mantis although i do have it on tape.

    also most of the weapons sets except army sword, rope dart, butterfly knives, master stick, yin hand stick


    isol8d-weapons- spear, long and short handle 9 ring, double b's, plum flower fan

    hand forms-like big mantis altough didn't officially learn it, second form, 36 hands

    this is why I said that's it. my friend asked my sifu(yao li) how many forms he know. he told us he know about 270 forms. yao went to china and learn like 30 contemporary forms so that means wah lum might have 240 forms. unless he have trained in other schools too.
