Very interesting to watch - I don;t recall ever seeing another CMA from Jiangxi Prov before.

This was the style that our man John Wang left the US for Taiwan to learn when he heard how deadly it was: Apparently, it had a very strong fighting rep at one point as a "fast hands" style.

Thanks Franklin, interesting to see these.

The lineage of Zimen I learnt (my teacher Sifu McNeil is the sole Zimen student of the late Chin Cheng Yen) has many similar hand motions however the footwork is different - much more based on trying to jump/lunge through the opponent.
