    Southern Mantis demo

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GmFMo0Av8I

    GM Henry Poo Yee.

    IMO, a very fluid and dynamic expression of his Jook Lum Mantis.
    Psalms 144:1
    Praise be my Lord my Rock,
    He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

    never heard of the 108 Chan fist...anyone?
    "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.

    Nope, but my SPM isn't yours and neither of our is his, so...
    Still, I like the fluidity and the jing in that form, although that steps were a bit "flowery" at times.

    According to Hagood, it is the master form: Yop bot ling bot

    the form Sifu Yee demonstrated is a different form, from my understanding, from Lam Sang's yut ling bot. But, many forms use the 108, and Poo Yee trained from several teachers, and has a rich background in Martial Arts.

    Never seen it before so I can't comment on it.
    I do however like the way it was performed.
    How correct or what version I leave for others to decide.

    Sifu Yee's movement and energy are inspiring to watch. He can be soft or hard, springy and explosive. When I met him, he was a kind and generous teacher, always willing to share.

    I have heard good things too, I left politics to politicians.

    Do you like the way he crosses his arms, keeps his elbows out and breaks several other tenets of Lam's hand?

    Poo Yee is ok but I like Gin Foon Mak much better,
    Some may not have seen the playfull interaction Between Mak sifu and the gtreat late Lam Sang. The Taiwan reunion between Mak and his sifu is in 8 parts:
