The martial arts shown in this video are all from the Shuijingyang neighborhood of Yuechao village located on the Xiaonan flats along the Ao river in Aojiang township Pingyang county.
This system traces back to 1813 when a local Pingyang county man named Wen Dajiu (born 1789) left Zhejiang and travelled south to Zhangzhou where he studied traditional Fujian White Boxing.
Upon returning to his home in Pingyang county Mabu Township's Leidu Village he began teaching white crane boxing. Soon Leidu village would become well known for it's crane boxing methods.
Later, during the late 19th century in the reign of Guangxu, a man named Wen Jianrong (1862 - 1949) from Chuiyangliu stockade (modern day Chuiyang village neighborhood of Aojiang town) began to study White Crane Boxing in Mabu township's Leidu village (which is only about 7 miles from Chuiyang). Wen Jianrong had previously learned Gong Rou Quan (Skilled Supple Boxing) and the White Crane Boxing passed down by is said to have some influences from this.
Wang Jianrong's style would come to be known as Xiaonan He Fa "Xiaonan Crane Method" because it is practiced in Aojiang town and nearby villages on the Xiaonan flats of the Ao river.
Today both of these styles of Pingyang crane boxing are still popularly practiced in their respective areas in Pingyang county.
Much like Mabu / Leidu Crane method, Xiaonan Crane Method stresses the practice of San Zheng (San Zhan) as well as San Bian (San Jian). However while Mabu Crane Method is said to contain up to 58 empty hand forms and drills, Xiaonan Crane Method contains only 15 empty hand forms.
In Pingyang Crane Method schools San Zhan is often referred to as San Zheng (Three Corrections / Rectifications) and the other core set is usually called San Bian (Three Transformations) in Xiaonan schools although it is also often referred to as San Jian (Three Arrows) especially in Mabu He Fa lines.
The oral teachings of Pingyang He Fa say that San Zhan focuses on "correcting the head, correcting the body, correcting the horse" so for this reason it is often called San Zheng "Three Corrections". San Jian is said to focus on "transforming the hands, transforming the body, transforming the stepping" for this reason it is often called San Bian "Three Transformations".
Thank you.
What I find interesting is the body positioning. Namely the slight back leaning throughout the form rather than the more common foreword leaning. Reminds me of some of the earlier rapier styles of the Italian masters.
This one is interesting as it has a definite northern flavour to it.
Yes!

I'm surprised by the amount of elbow techniques. Kung fu isn't my forte but given most material I've watch there seems to be a definite emphasis them within this style.
In my experience they are used in most styles but not very obvious in forms, northern forms especially.
