While in Chinatown today (Kevin)..,
I showed the characters I had to a few Chinese martial artists that I know including a White Crane Sifu who is well versed in other Southern Chinese martial arts. They all agreed that the characters below are the ones used for Po Pai. And they ALL said that it means carrying the sign. When I mentioned the reference to carrying the name of the deceased in a funeral he also agreed. The only difference is some of the Sifus used hand instead of palm in their systems.
抱牌掌 Po Pai Palm

When you come to visit us I can show you how we use it. I don't know what "elbow thinking" means to you. Can you elaborate?Did they reference the elbows by any chance ?

I think the next time I'm in Chinatown I'm going to show the characters for Wing Chun to some Cantonese speakers, ask them to pronounce them and video their replies. I might as well show them the characters for Yip Man while I'm at it.Not Ving Tsun method ....no....
I guarantee you won't hear a "V" sound in Wing Chun and you will hear the "Y" in Yip.
Wait a minute. Kev, you're in NY. You can do that yourself.

Thats my point, the terms dont cover the SLT technical positions of the elbows that coincide with our tan sao "dispersing elbow" strike and our Jum sao "inward elbow" strike.
I will show you , thats really why I want to meet , so you can see it rather than try understand the words that I typo

SLT doesn't cover elbow strikes, kicks, footwork, etc., but these things do exist in WC.Thats my point, the terms dont cover the SLT technical positions of the elbows that coincide with our tan sao "dispersing elbow" strike and our Jum sao "inward elbow" strike.

Jum sao I think you mean Chum Sao. Chum can mean to search/seek or sink. Chum/Jum sao is "sinking arm" not inward elbow strike. In fact the word elbow, Jang/Jeung isn't even including in the terms. That's like some people saying Tan Sao means palm up block.Thats my point, the terms dont cover the SLT technical positions of the elbows that coincide with our tan sao "dispersing elbow" strike and our Jum sao "inward elbow" strike.
