Personally. I'm very skeptical of a YCF style... I have never seen one that didn't have a in the linage of where it came from.. (e.g. a mother's uncle, a father's nephew etc etc ) all with very little historical presence other other than the person saying they got the true transmission. I'm even more skeptical of family styles (but that is for another thread)
Hao style (Wu Yuxiang ) is directly linked to YLC and that style mimics Wu style (Quan You) in form and function ...and Wu style is linked to Yang Pan-hou... & Yang Jianhou, Pan-hou's brother, that side of the family spawned YCF's family style. And that style mimics in form and function the previous two. Its' extremely Hard to argue against the logic those previous facts bring to the table (but people try) Furthering my opinion... Arts that where simplified where the arts that were tested and in the process they discarded the low % techniques. At one time those arts would have to have been tested or they would have faded from memory.
People get caught up in stigma and dogma ...
