    Tai Chi Praying Mantis has a set with the same name.

    I have read in materials intended for public consumption that some Hung Gar branches possess a "Beng Bu" set in their curriculum. These are typically schools that have broadened their syllabus to include Lau Gar and Mok Gar forms in addition to the traditional "4 Pillars" of Hung. I have never trained in one of these schools and thus can not authenticate such a claim, but it is indeed a claim that is made from time to time.

    Hung Gar's Beng Bu is the HK 7* version.
    H.B Un of Pak Mei also has a book on this beng bu form.
