Zhao's teacher did a Xingyi linkage. SD xingyi bears a superficial resemblance to what did because the postures were almost the same, but the moving & linking of the postures wasn't even in the same ball park.

My teacher's late teacher's book has the xingyi form from the SD videos show, but like you said the movement and details are missing. The book is called "The Skill of Xingyi Quan" by Li Tian Ji. Li Tian Ji is the same guy who's credited with creating the 24 movement taiji form(also the 48 & 66 move combined taiji quan forms, and 88 move Yang taiji quan).
Basically it's like someone who'd seen xingyi a few times tried learning the form from a book, and added a few techniques that don't really fit.

I've heard second hand comments about a hairy monk in CLF as well, but I believe that the reported era was different than Su Kong's so I didn't follow up on it.

Shen ku, I'm a first black in shaolin-do and I've studied and researched a few other martial arts as well. I've on this forum...mostly reading...far longer than I have an excuse for. I'm in SE KY. BTW, you can hit "profile" below the posts people make and they sometimes will have put some basic info down for public consumption.

Oh...one more thing. Anyone who's membership profile says they've been here since 1969 just means they've been here since they switched servers a few (4 now?) years back. I've not wasted THAT much time here.

[shen ku]

like i said i am new to all this kind of stuff (computers) i found where the comment was made but have no idea how to link to it in order to show it here??

Ok... let me end the "hairy monk" thing. There is no hairy monk in CLF. There was a monk by the name Ching Cho or Green Grass Monk. Depending on the lineage of CLF one practices, did or did not exist.

Not hairy...
