Classical Novels
There are no secrets only creative study and research. In general, most teacher don't teach you what they don't think you would be interested, need to know or does not interest themsleves.
In this case read Chinese classical novel: Journey to The West and maybe Diamond Sutra. I am talking about phrases like (steals the peach=spirit of the monkey king).
Four Forms related to Journey to The West
White ape exits the cave.
White ape worship the North Star.
White ape secretly watch the banquet.
White ape steals the peach.
These four forms compress about a quarter Journey to The West, with reference to textual content, i.e. storyline.
White forms some of the oldest in Northern Mantis in general. The concepts of these forms predate 7 Star Mantis.
White Ape has monkey leg such as kneeling moves and maybe dei tong/ground moves. White Ape are also known for its wide radius arm and fist movements.
Steals the Peach=Issue is where Monkey King has a problem in Heaven. He gets mad, and tries to steal peach of immortality. On a basic level, the peach represents is ones sexual organs located between your legs. This stealing attack would hurt ones chi and thus impede ones longevity (read Taoist Yoga/ Charles Luk). Here is where we get into the whole discussion of lethal points in the human body and the flow of chi.
Mantis steals the peach is a more important mantis form, if you learn the right versions some say.
