Bak Mei - White Eyebrow Traditional Kung Fu
Bak Mei - The White Eyebrow Monk
"(from wikipedia) is said to have been one of the legendary Five Elders — survivors of the destruction of the Shaolin Temple by the Qing Dynasty imperial regime (1644–1912) — who, according to some accounts, betrayed Shaolin to the imperial government."
Bak Mei Basic Techniques - (from TheaSinensisSerpenti)
Bak Mei Basic Techniques demonstrated by Master Chen Zhong Liang / Chan Jung Leung
Chen Zhong Liang studied martial arts from Childhood becoming very skilled in both Bak Mei and Taiji Quan. His Bak Mei teacher was Chen Jun Xia / Chan Gwan Haap. Studying under master Chen Jun Xia he became very close friends with fellow student and Bak Mei innovator Li Yao Bin / Lei Yiu Ban.
Although Chen Zhong Liang's main love was Bak Mei he was very interested in the philosophy and methods of Taiji. He began to apply the teachings and methods in the Taiji classics to Bak Mei even writing essays on the subject. Throughout his life he continued to practice both Taiji and Bak Mei, eventually refining his Bak Mei to a very high level.

Sha Guozhen - Bagua Zhang Master!
From the TheaSinensisSerpenti
"Sha Guozhen is a legend in Chinese martial arts.
He began studying martial arts as a child. He started learning Bagua at 16 studying under Wang Lide's student Wang Chiche. Wang Lide had been a student of Dong Haichuan and practiced "Lion style" bagua. Although he later studyed under many other great masters of bagua including Jiang Rongqiao his bagua always carried some of the characteristic of the lion style he first mastered.
Eventually he combined his experience in bagua and knowledge of Wang Lide's Lion style, Jiang Rongqiao's bagua, Sun style Bagua, and the various other bagua styles he had come into contact with into his own form.
Bagua was not his only focus, during his lifetime he studied many different styles and was well known for his XingYi, Six Harmony Spear, and Wudang Sword.
He was also known for his bravery in fighting against the Japanese occupation during the Sino-Japanese war.
During the later years of his life he dedicated his time to teaching martial arts as well as setting up a free clinic to use his knowledge of Chinese medicine to provide free treatment to those in need where he lived in Yunnan province, as well as donating his extensive collection of traditional Chinese medical texts and recipes to to the public."
