Frog Style??

So, what do you do when you're bored?
Youtube, of course.

So I'm browsing, searching for different Animal styles, and all of the sudden, pops up a 'frog' form.


It's the first form shown in this video.

Anyone know anything about it?

It's a Modern Performance Wushu style, designed for flash and appearance but little practicality

Yeah, it's fun to watch and takes some acrobatic skill, but zero practicality

Mhmm... he did have some nice flips...
Idiot who made the movie named them all wrong though.

It was Frog, Monkey, Snake, and then some guy looked like he was doing Tai Chi or something -- that wasn't leopard was it?

Taijifan is on a distinguished road
I believe that form was created for performance/tourist reasons based on the movie "Shaolin Temple". There's a scene where a couple of the monks are imitating frogs for fun
