can you tell me what this style is? thanks

Kao Shou Fan aka kao shou fan zi quan, 銬手翻子拳, was passed down from Master Wen Jing Ming 溫敬銘.

It is comprised of 8 sets of forms, short, crispy, robust, continuous, practical,snappy and slippery. The ren la zuan move is one of its trademark, where one hand diffuse opponents punch and another hand slip straight to the nose. It is also characterized by its low heel snappy kicking and hand-cuffed hands movement.

Honestly, I don't know much about this style(sweaty, very sweaty!). For more information, please check this book! I found the flavor of this art a delight.



Hope that is enough info!

This fanzi is a little bit different from other styles of fanzi, depending on whom is interpreting it. It won't hurt to read through the book and analysis its content, and to test the techniques it discussed. Unlike the clips, demonstration in the books utilized a lot sanqibu and liusibu and put a lot of emphasis on zhengjing. The well sketch pictorial techniques/explanation make it an easy reading. Master Wen treasure this form a lot; I am just happy to come across a clip like this. Glad you enjoy it.

This type of fanzi is connected to XY, the hand movements are analogous to XY animals such as Horse, snake, turtle, crane.
Also, similar stepping patterns (book details the hand movements, not legs), his son hid stuff in his commercial video, he details legs, not hands. His father's book details hands not legs.

Oh, you bet, his son hide the lots!! Yep, because Master Wen was trained under Master Zhang Chang Xing for a while.
