In Lau Fat Man’s book on Eagle Claw the Yue fist (which connects with the Eagle Claw lineage) is compared to Shaolin as a Southern style ancestor. This is an interesting analogy since the Southern Song was a migration southward in the face of Mongol pressure. The great folk hero, Yue(h) Fei, may or not have had some influence on the following styles: Eight Pieces of Brocade Qigong, Eagle Claw, Xing Yi, Six Harmony Spear, Six Harmony Boxing, Wen Shang Kung Fu and, of course, Yue Family style Kung Fu. Yue, like Shaolin, is considered a relatively straight forward and unadorned fighting style as might be expected from a branch with main concern the training of soldiers for the field.
