I totally agree,this is a fine example of over reaching IMO.However I can understand many guys would deem this pretty good.
All the best to him.

Thanks for all the best. Very kind of you.
I think what many people forget is that effective application is our guide. If one can sucessfully execute a technique and achieve proper timing, feeling, and power without feeling exhausted or getting injured, I consider is reaching the peak.

Sorry Mr Duke I think I've just worked out this is you?
I don't mean to be dis-respectful,However if you keep your waist from rising what will this do?
Your Bui is pretty much spot on but the waves or the "Fa" is way to much for my liking(sorry)
Fa ging would change your whole posture and direction and diffuse your power whether it be a bui or a lung tui punch.
Hope this helps Mr Duke

I don't recall high kicks in pak mei,there is only deng gueork (stab/ward off leg)
am I missing something???
Sei Moon Baat Gwa is 4 styles in one created by Cheung Lai Chuen (JoSi).
Sei Moon (Four doors) represents Lau Man Ga, Li Ga, Lung Ying, and Bak Mei.
Baat Gwa (8 diagrams) represents multiple angles, daoist breathing, and the 5 daoist principles in combat.
The tiger kicks is in the middle of that form called 3 foot tiger.
The original Pak Mei 4 forms: have ding, and and ngau/pun teui, which are low kicks.
Cheung Lai Chuen requires forms from his prior masters to be taught in conjuction with the original 4 forms: Jik Bo, Gau Bo Tui, Sup Baat Mor Kiu, and Mang Fu Chuet Lum.
Hi Mr Duke
Never heard of Sei moon baat gwa from CLC (I've heard of San mun ken(hak ga)but that was dropped from the main core of PM.
Sei moon= 4 doors to you maybe
san mun = close door to me
somehow the translation is lost or evolved either way im not familiar.
Baat gwa(bat ga ken?)I think there is definate confusion here.
we have ma pu(horse stand/walk),tih pu(straight walk),gui pui tui(nine step push,sip bat mor(18 demons),mang fu chut lim(fierce tiger exits the forest) and umm mor(5 elements)
I believe the confusion lies that the 5 elements are infact lost no one ever achieved this,and this form was to be said by CLC as similar to what we know is Bak gua(not a form at all)
bat ga ken is the same a bak gua(bak gua is cantonese and bat ga ken is hak ga)
I dont know but yours seems to be the juk lim(formly of tong long not direct from PM) although I've not seen how you hold your elbows and fist. Only your strike.
sorry I cant go into lineages as I am bound even now.
thanks for reading
Those sets come from diferent systems originally indeed but now have distinct Pak Mei flavour IMO. They now contain Pak Mei principles.
My word!
been on youtube and typed in "Pak mei" my my the world has changed,didnt know so much in 10 yrs.
I feel sick tbh
