Do you know of any taxonomies published or is it mostly dependent on being interpreted by whoever has most the variety of experience or exposure to the forms?
You're asking that of a martial art that was super secretive due to their connection to a hard banned secret society. LMAO.
Given that southern Styles share so much, how can one know what moves may have been re-joined at a later time, if at all?
Who cares, we know all southern are related in one form or another? But, if you're wing chun, and you start performing the fut san hung sing hoi jong, then we know you took it from us. Much like Sin Kwan The of Shaolin Do stole my lineages 5 animal form. i can tell based on movement along who is who. when you're immersed in it your whole life, one can easily point out things.
I remember not long ago there was a guy from a Chinese University trying to survey all the forms but kept getting bogged down on how they mutated in America into something like name-brands.
Please explain further. what was his purpose for surveying them? what was he looking for? why did he do this? what was his prime objective? and what purpose would it surve him?
