Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I found this really cool display on Youtube. I personally have never seen it before, but it looks more Northern Shaolin to me ^^
On the video clip, he is practicing "Fanziquan" (or "Faan Ji Kyun" in Cantonese). The Chinese characters for "Fanziquan" are "翻子拳". It literally means "roll over - child - fist".
I am uncertain of its origins, but I believe that it is closely link to "Tongbeiquan" as I have heard that "Fanziquan" is short for "Tongbei Fanzi Quan". So, "Fanziquan" may have originated from "Tongbeiquan". As you correctly stated, it does come from Northern Shaolin.
