There are two types of Chinese martial artists. Those who can fight and those who should be teaching dance or yoga!
53 years of training, 43 years of teaching and still aiming for perfection!

It is 18 elders, 18 hands is a completely different form.
"18 elders" makes no Chinese sense. What's the meaning of
- "18" here?
- "elders" here?
Were there 18 old masters who created this form together? Have you even heard that 18 TCMA masters got together all at the same time? It's very difficult to link "old men" with a form.
Please notice that when you speak in Cantonese, to a non-Cantonese speaker, it will have a complete different meaning. Example are:
- Shou,
- Sao,
- Sau,
Here is a famous Cantonese joke. In a crowded bus,
Girl: You love me so much, it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Guy: I didn't say that I love you.
Girl: If you don't love me, who do you love?
Guy: Whom do I love should not be your concern.
Girl: ...
The word "close body contact" in Cantonese pronounce exactly the same as the the word "love" in Mandarin.

LOL! Like I said, "It depends on who you ask".
We have had this debate before.

This is a bad example of performing Northern style mantis in southern style favour.
Maybe he got the sequence from a book.

Maybe he is doing the form to produce a video or book. Many people doing that these days.
Here is a good rendition of the form, though again done at teaching speed:

Here is one of my kung fu brothers, a fellow student of Mike Biggie, demonstrating the set with some speed and power:
