    Bak Mei - Slow Palm Set

    Dear Bak Mei practitioners,
    I understand that much of the curriculum within the Bak Mei system is quite closed door, and any information that goes with it.

    I would like to ask, have any of you ever heard of a Bak Mei form which is a palm set, soft (sometimes hard), flowing (then explosive) which looks like something inbetween Tai Chi and Fut Gar.

    I have a form called Dai Fut Jeung (Big Buddha Palm), it was mentioned to my Si Sook that my Sigung said it was a set of Bak Mei Pai. Now it could have been a misunderstanding and he may have meant a set of "Bak Mor Jui" (White Haired Devil) of Hung Fut. Bak Mei and Bak Mor sound similar. I have a few sets of different styles I am trying to trace.

    The set is unique and must have a VERY interesting history, hence my search. I have seen nothing like it anywhere.

    In case you wonder why I do not ask my Sifu, he died ten years ago.

    Please let me know if you have any information.

    Thanks in advance.

    Well of course you did Troll boy. Then, you woke up and realized you had fallen asleep reading some of your favorite martial arts comic books. Of course, that was after you had exhaustively researched Chuka Fist and Hop Gar. Troll on pus ball, troll on.
