Living with the Shyun family for several years, it was during this stay in the Shyun’s home that Grandmaster Wei made the decision to pass the true heart of the Eight Step Preying Mantis system to his young disciple. Taking advantage of their private setting, Wei proceeded to pass on the details of the Eight Step system, sometimes even using street-fighters for training partners for the developing Shyun.

Is there a particular form that you're working on? For me, I try to keep mantis or pigua in my repertoire so I don't get too slow. I practice Wutan.

Focusing on these three areas is opening up my movements and allowing me to move faster in my forms so far. I was wondering if anyone else had come across any of this.
