    FireHawk,

    I am not a White Crane person so I don't know the background to any of this but I can tell you what the characters read.

    長肢白鶴拳之三戰白鶴拳拳譜

    長肢白鶴拳 = "long limb white crane fist" - sounds like a particular branch of white crane like Shaolin's Longfist although this branch seems to include legs as well. Overall long range would be my guess.

    之 = possesive

    三戰白鶴拳 = 3 Battles White Crane Fist - Sounds like a form name especially since the next two characters,

    拳譜 = "quanpu or kuenpo" - form listing or form book, usually the sequential listing of techniques for a given form.

    I would translate the entire phrase as "The Form Book for the 3 Battles White Crane form of the Long Limb White Crane style."

    I am guessing this is a title of a book for a form.

    Hope that helps,
