Interesting. I totally do not recognize this set.

What is the back ground on it?

Shaolin Che,
You practice this set?
I am guessing you train the set 'Shaolin Che' which has similarities to this one.

This form is from Jun Qian He.
I assume he is from Zhang Hua.
I have never heard of this teacher, though this looks like some nice longfist.

The author states that this form can be performed as a two man set (sure would like to see that.)

Tainan Mantis,
Yes, I practice Shaolin Che (少林車or少林坼) How do you know about Shaolin Che? The two man Tai Zu Chang Quan is pretty neat also. This Tai Zu Chang Quan comes from Grandmaster Yin Chian Ho (尹千合). He was a Northern Shaolin and Tai Chi Master in Chang Hua, then moved to the states in late 1970's first to Salt Lake City then to Milwaukee. His top student Master Lu currently teaches in Salt Lake City. Grandmaster Yin is from Shangdong China and was also a general in the Kuoming Tang. He was friends and classmates with Gao Fang Xian who was also a Northern Shaolin master.

My Shifu learned Shaolin Che at the Cultural University.
He was a teacher there and he learned it from another teacher there.

I have been wracking my brains trying to remember his name.

THis teacher at the uni was also from Shandong and also taught Cha Quan.
He has since passed away,, but his son is also an accomplished MArtist.
