not sure who started it, but if shi xingxing (zhang qinghe) practiced that way and taught it to shi dejian and shi defang (wu nanfang), it may have even come from his first master, ven. shi chunqian- head monk of jingang monastery who later encouraged him to study from wu shanlin.
Interesting, but which students said this? Was it his longer term students is probably most relevant, as Wu Shanlins very own sons passed this "small frame" onto master wu himself before learning from Xing Xing.


I don't think Shi De Gen or shorter term students would be a good reflection of the core style and were less likely to have been taught the core shenfa.
