yes, the record says that jueda was practicing luohan shibashou when fuju inspired him with the plum blossom.
i dont know, but sometimes i've seen performance videos have the wrong name on the wrong set. it was likely the editors fault. but in this case, there was no meihuaquan performance at all on the vcd anyway.Maybe Liu Zhehai just made a mistake? Or, he felt that there was so much Luohan Quan in the Da Meihua Quan set that it might as well be considered a Luohan Quan set in the long run?
Wow, what a question to be able to ask Liu Zhenhai somehow.
also.. the video i posted for xiaomeihuaquan seems different from the encyclopedia. they are sometimes hard to follow though, unless you already know or have seen the sets. but it looks like there are some ditang techniques in the encyclopedia.
