I study with a group that is influenced by the late David Harris' Soshin Ryu/Yueng Chuan; From that line I have seen very similar drills. David Harris studied Yang Tai Chi with T. T. Tchoung and Raymond Chung, a variety of arts with Fook Yueng, and Aiki with Sid Woodcock. The flow drills that I have seen from Harris' students have a slightly different flavour than the Filipino drills that we do (since our main art is Arnis). Since Mr. Harris seemed to stick with Japanese and Chinese arts came from Tai Chi or maybe Mr. Harris adapted something he saw in the Filipino arts or maybe even developed the drills independently.
When I first saw the drills I thought they were FMA but then I realized they were different.
