Where'd that USSD thread go again?
I'm pretty sure I'm incorrect, but I'm pretty sure that the form was around before their shaolin excursion and even before Tak Wah Eng. I remember seeing a form called a Buddha something and thinking it was cool. Now I view it and just slap my forehead in disbelief on how ignorant I use to be about CMA.
part of the form looks like the old FU JOW PAI set, part of it looks like wushu, the rest who knows? Generally speaking, I have little respect to people who have to travel to china to pay off "monks" to claim lineage to shaolin
I'm pretty sure that the above statement makes no senseI'm pretty sure I'm incorrect, but I'm pretty sure that
Looks nothing like the Buddha Fist form we teach...ours came from The Buddha Family system, not Shaolin.....I have seen our set performed by the White Lotus Society in Indonesia.

looks like bits and pieces of this and that strung together in a mish mash of disconcerted motion.
mostly it looks like a mutilated version of bassai dai from shotokan in a lot of places with an overtly chinese looking move thrown in here and there.
Kung Fu is good for you.
I think this youtube comment pretty much explains it:
"Yingzhaoquan, Changquan, Nanquan, Huzhaoquan all done extremely poorly mashed in with 8 Buddhist salutes"
I noticed a good chunk of the techniques/poses are in various modern wushu forms too.
The form isn't Shaolin or sport wushu, though a lot of it is found in various sport wushu forms. Maybe put together from various performances they've seen the "monks" do.

I am seeking sparring partner. Any level. Looking for blondes or redhead. 5'2" to 5'9". Between 115-135 weight class. Females between 17-30 only need apply. Will extensively work on grappling.
Wasn't there another form called a "1000 Buddha fists" or something to that extent before Tak Wah Eng?
EDIT: Never mind, answered my own question: "1000 Buddhas" http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...000Buddhas.flv
