Thanks for the video, this is one of the last remnants to mysticism of kung fu. The eight immortals are veiled in the movements of many styles. Though drunken movements are considered passive, they are really the ultimate marriage of the internal and external aspects of kung fu. Water can float, yet also capsizes boats.
you're mistaken. most of this looks identical to the form shown in Dr. Leung Ting's book "The Drunkard Kung Fu and it's Application", what differences there are could likely be attributed to either the age of the practitioner causing them to forget the order of the sequence or have to amend the sequence to get around a move their body can't really do anymore, or can be attributed to learning the style through a different lineage, Lee Family style versus Wang Family style or whatever. If i had any idea where my copy of Dr. Ting's book was, i'd pull it out and start naming moves in sequence and listing timestamps for you. if this isn't Ting's exact style, it's a sister style from the same general lineage. roughly the same moveset, same grounded traditional movement style compared to the wudang version jackie chan used or the shaolin wushu version. same philosophy of movement, feeling like it's moving between the soft and flowing circles of tai chi and the explosive drilling fist of Xing Yi Quan/Hsing I Chuan, if i use unrelated styles as comparisons. I've always preferred the Wudang Bronze Hall variations of the 8 drunken immortals style, like the style seen in Jackie chan's Drunken Master, though i prefer the more grounded Lau Family Style that was taught by Sifu Troy Dunwood. when dunwood did drunken, it wasn't over the top and flowery like shaolin wushu or to a lesser extent the more peking opera style show form that jackie chan used. it seemed to use the same general moveset but with forms organized a bit differently, and it was realistic. more grounded, like the version in this video, but with more power in it's movements. dunwood doing drunken doesn't look like someone doing flowery wushu pretending to be performatively drunk, he looks like the guy you walk past on the sidewalk at 2 am down the street from a bar that just let out, like he's had a little too much to drink and is walking home, very light and lethargic swaying, a very occasional stumble/stagger, and loose slightly heavy hands. if you lost a fight to dunwood, you wouldn't think "Wow that guy was a drunken kung fu master", you'd think "Wow, that drunk dude just beat the brakes off me".
Haha I am hanging back. I also wanted to use those vids. But anyway thanks for putting them up.Is it okay if I reuse your edited version ? I always wanted to research a bit on the different "creation Myths" of the styles. I remember who I read a story some years ago that the 8 Immortals were invited to a underwater kingdom to a banquet and at the banquet trouble broke out and to defend themself they had to devolp that style. Because their other styles didnt worked well enough..Or somehow like..
At the ground level he warmed up, so also he has constellation of relationships unresolved and is dragged by women like a bad of potatoes!!! Wow. In USA I have seen better.
He looks weak, bended over, and stiff, and his 'being ok with it' is rather undewhelming in easiness to and from bodily postural changes, his back if not possible to streighten? Is that you need a physician, that you are showing it, as at that age and level of therefore profficiency - self expects a Sifu, not an aged male whose years of practice seemed to destroy his shape instead of becoming undeafitable.

The different manifestations of Eight Drunken Immortals are always interesting to see and compare. Thanks for sharing.
