Hai Lu Feng is on the east Coast of Guangdong Province and belongs to the Huizhou Prefecture. There are a number of martial arts practiced in the area but the most famous is that which is sometimes referred to as Luo Shan Quan (Lou San Kuen) or Luo Shan Shaolin Boxing. The Founder of the style was Southern Fist Master Guo Zhuan (1720-1790) who was from the LuoShan Village area of Hai Lu Feng (sometimes called Hai Feng for short). It was said that in 1741 he became a lay disciple of the Southern Shaolin Temple, and when he descended/returned in 1750 he opened a school and taught students thus commencing the propagation of the style. The practice is akin to another system From Shi Pan and likely have similar origins, whilst both are ancestral to latter Huizhou styles such as Lung Ying and Bak Mei. The are a great deal of handsets although most are fairly short, straightforward and repetitive. Some of these include Tou Zhuang, Er Zhuang, San Zhuang, Gan Da, Meng Hu, Chu Lin Hu, San Bu Tui, San Jiao Hu, San Jiao Ying, Zhi Ma, San Jiao Ma, Zhan Ma Kai Men, Hou Gong Chu Dong, Shi Er Bu, Shi Ba Bu, San Shi Liu Bu, Si Men, Xiao Ba Gua, Da Ba Gua etc..totalling 36 empty hand sets.
I like this. It resembles Wing Chun but with a more agile footwork and steadier stance which is much more suitable for men.
