Caveat: I haven't done any wah lum stuff in over a decade.
The forms presented don't look like the basic mini-forms of wah lum (of which my old school taught 10). They also don't look like the official wah lum forms (wah lum 1, 2, etc).
They do have that Wah lum flavor and there are parts of each that may be in Wah Lum 1 or 2.
Hopefully some more established Wah Lum folks post and fill in the blanks.

It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.

Not Wah Lum, except the arm movement in the breathing section.
Flavor is more like the 'Roads' of Tam Tui.

I'm not sure how that would stand up in court. Are these forms developed by Chan Pui himself?Originally Posted by mickey

Saly, yet another defect of the TCMA community (wu lin); being obsessed with what someone else is doing
Why do any of you CARE?

I dunno, he asked a question and I tried to answer it.
Aside from that I don't have a dog in this race.
Most of the wah lum folks I used to be in contact with on this forum left a long time ago.

they are not wah lum forms, they have moves out of the wah lum forms. they are probably made up forms with their core being from wah lum.
i have heard the old "cannot teach wah lum" if you leave the system.
You paid for the knowledge, it is yours, that's like going to university and then cannot use what you learned.
the core of wah lum forms is not really what lee kwan shan taught anyway.

the beginner forms were added later-little open gate, 16 hands, little mantis, etc, as a beginner's syllabus. Nothing wrong with breaking them down further when teaching openly to the public. Pretty much every major system has entry level forms-Karate has always had them, Heian/Pinan Kata were created as a breakdown of Kushanku/Kanku-Dai/Sho, and Kihon, Taikiyoku were further breakdowns.
Doing them by the numbers is a pretty standard teaching method. Nothing wrong with this.
Just so long as he doesn't say, "step."

Yah our's was broken down even further, with mini-sets that would cover a single combo (usually derived from the forms) - like 1st basic, 2nd basic, etc, up to like 10. Little mantis, for example, was something most people wouldn't see until a year or 2 there. You'd finish the basics and then move onto a random smattering of forms, coz there were multiple styles taught at the school. Myself, I ended up with Little Mantis, Sup Sei Lo, Gung Lek (standard version, not mantis version), and Wah Lum staff after a couple years.

Wah Lum Pai is an every growing and maturing organization of styles very much the same as Tian Shan Pai, Ying Jow Pai, Fu Jow Pai, etc.
If you want to know what the original 5 hand sets were of what LKS of the Tan Tui Tang Lang Men was go to this thread in the mantis section
