    I'm wondering if it might be Mui-Fa, from Bak Hok P'ai. This is a stretch, because the only version I have seen was in a book by George Parulski, and this is going from memory, but the form he attempted to show had long and short hand moves very similar to what was shown. (one of the few books in my vast collection that made its way to the trash can.)
    "My Gung-Fu may not be Your Gung-Fu.
    Gwok-Si, Gwok-Faht"

    "I will not be part of the generation
    that killed Kung-Fu."

    ....step.

    Thank you , Ten Tigers !!! Maybe we can wait until some Tibetan White Crane student or instructor can give to us more info about this Muy Fah form or can talk to us about the differents Bak Hok forms.

    No, that's not the one in Parulski's book. And actually, the form Parulski shows in his book was simply taken from the book "White Crane Kung Fu vol. 1" by James Wong, originally published by Koionia back in the 70s. Not sure which form that was in the vid. I kind of had the feeling that maybe it was a combination of things the performer had put together himself (though I could be wrong)...

    ah, so I'm not the only one who bought that...um, book.
    Not to hijack, but what was the form in the book?
    "My Gung-Fu may not be Your Gung-Fu.
    Gwok-Si, Gwok-Faht"

    that killed Kung-Fu."

    LOL! Yeah, I bought that book when it first came out back in the '80s. I was a kid and it was fascinating to me.

    As you mentioned, it's referred to as the "Small Plum Blossom Form". I have no idea where it originated though. The first time it was shown in a book was in the James Wong White Crane book I mentioned.
