Hello Sifu Brazier,
I remember in an older post on 8 step mantis forms, you wrote-
Wei Xiao Tang had his equivalent of the 10 roads of Tan Tuei encompassed within 8 roads.
On seeing Wei perform those 8 roads it is immediately apparent that they are Mantis.
Other Mantis branches also have their own roads for beginners, Zhang De Kuei of Mimen Mantis in Taiwan had 7 Roads, Jia Jingting and Li Kun Shan also had their roads.
HK 7* has their 14 roads. In every case, except for 10 roads of Tan Tuei, it is immediately apparent that these are roads for the training of Mantis.
Being a Wutan disciple, we practice 3 sets of 6 roads of basics that I think Master Su Yu Zhang may have formulated based on the experiences he had with various Mantis teachers on the island. The first 6 are the most common and I think may have come from Master Wei Xiao Tang.

I was wondering what are the other 2 lines. Thank you Sifu Brazier!
