yes. it is a very nice tv series.
but it actually asked more questions than gave us any definate answers.
some highlites.
The reporter visited yun cheng. It used to be a military station city.
Tai Zu men really from Song first emperor?
1. Luo Han Tai Zu Da Hong Quan as practiced and passed down from Huang Guan Xun (88 years old with the crane).
It is the same as da and xiao hong fists in Shaolin. (since Zhao Kuan Yin entered shaolin to learn before)
2. Song Tai Zu also known for his staff, pan long gun or dragon straddling staff. Tai Zu men has many weapons but mostly long staff, 2 section and 3 section staff etc.
3. Tai Zu men also has the 8 hand methods (actually uses of the hand, elbow, shoulder, chest, back, hit/butt, knee and foot, or 8 section/area of the body) as demo by Zhou Hong Ke (with beard and white shirt).
4. Tai Zu men also has Tai Zu long fist 32 postures as recorded in Qi Ji Guang book.
5. actually, there are also hua quan, er lang quan etc practiced in Yun Cheng.

Maybe we would never know the MA practiced in Yun Cheng really from the first emporer of song or not.
But the important thing is that Wushu practice
Wushu is like power of the body and wisdom of the mind placed together.
Wushu was its importance in the military, now that the gun and firearm took its place.
However, practice of MA from people in Yun Cheng continued.
