 Méishān Tiě Chǐ 梅山铁尺 (Sai)
Though we now know that Okinawan Karate was highly influenced by Southern Style Kung Fu there are few examples more convincing that the Sais. And this is probably the most involved and complex Sai set we have ever seen. Solid movements but a wide range of variations. Even a few jump kicks and some slamming the weapons together in a way we’ve never seen. If you like or are interested in the weapon, this is a good one. 梅山铁尺是梅山派传统兵器，其特点是古樸勇猛，没有花架子，招招式式非打即防，因其短小，没有锋刃便于携带，因其成双，比鞭、锏多一对爪而利于攻防，其主要用法有砍、劈、刺、撩、穿、扫、格、架以及倒把冲、砸、封、闭。 The Meishan Iron Ruler is a traditional weapon of the Meishan School. Its characteristics are simplicity and bravery, without any fancy moves. Every move is either for striking or defending. Because it is short and has no sharp edge, it is easy to carry. Because it comes in pairs, it has an extra pair of claws compared to whips and maces, which is beneficial for both offense and defense. Its main uses include chopping, splitting, stabbing, slashing, piercing, sweeping, parrying, blocking, as well as reverse-hand strikes, smashing, sealing, and closing.

Boxe Mei Shan (Montanha Ameixa) Este é um estilo sobre o qual ouvimos falar pouco (até agora). Parece ser uma mistura de Kung Fu estilo Shaolin do Sul, semelhante ao Hung, e, surpreendentemente, um pouco de Bagua – embora isso seja mantido separado do estilo principal. O treinamento é árduo e desenvolve força física. Os movimentos são baseados no Boxe do Tigre, com algumas variações Mei Shan de formas famosas como Gung Ji e Da Hong. Também utiliza armas incomuns do Sul, como o Sai e o Tridente. No geral, um estilo muito interessante com Chi Kung intenso e formas fortes e claras. LEGENDAS INGLÊS/CHINÊS
