Perhaps, I don't look like that though. I've got at least 5 yrs to go before I get to master level like these Sifu's.

 

The coolest thing is that they are all such nice friendly guys.

Have you guys ever seen anything like this??

 

 

Is anyone a student of Bow Sim Mark?

 

 

I can't actually see the video as I'm at work.

Is she the older Bow Sim Mark? If she is then she's Donnie Yen's Mother!

I looked up her website and she seems to do modern Wu-shu rather than traditional kungfu. The form she is doing here does look like a wu-shu take on a mantis form. I think she looks way better than most wu-shu practitioners, very fluid. Thats awesome if she is Donnie Yen's mother :)

It looks to be Northern 7-star Praying Mantis. I am unaware of the name of this form. It may be a combination of forms. I see bits of Beng Bo, Dao Gong and Bok Yuen Tow Toe(I am sure I am butchering the spelling). Mantis is fun stuff to practice. It has a very snappy, flashy energy to it. And, as it tends to have both hard and soft elements, it can be a quite effective martial art.

 

It's funny to me that this kind of stuff is what a lot of Chinese kids had for PE in grade school in 1920s and 1930s.
