Thats a helpful link. I just started 7 star last month and I like it, I wanted to know how many other styles there was. I learned like 20 step tang lang quan about 5 years ago, but I dont remeber the name, it was like a basic from expressing the charactersitcs and priciples.

The funny thing is, how much some of southern mantis can look like xing yi...practice wu deComment

I hope you're not talking about the southern mantis i think you're talking about. cuz that does NOT look like Xingyi.
although i can see how some of the use of body in waves can resemble Pi.Comment

I always thought it looked like a cross between white eyebrow and xingyi... not just like it.. but some similar movements, some of which were in the footwork...practice wu deComment
