Well for starters: lung ying is a shaolin temple art that had not been taught to any laymen until Tai Yuk Sim See atught the system to Lam Yiu Kwai. Lam sifu was already a master of his family style which was a Hakka style. He met Tai who was at the time abbot of Wah So Toi temple in southern china. After losing to the m,onk in a match he beged to be his student. He went to the temple and stayed there till he mastered the lung ying principles and passed every test. He returned o his village and met Bak Mei sijo Chun Lei Chun. they became friends and opened a school together. they also were commissioned to teach the military and had to fight the northern masters in a duel which they won easily.
lam was sent to a teacher's course in order to teach him how to train large groups as in a militery setting. After graduating he took on the task of systemizing the style, using his Hakka style as the basics, then combining the lung ying principles as the source and intermediate/advanced study.

The style is considered short fisted in that it is a closed in fighting style. it incorporates the movements of the dragon in that it presses relentlessly st various angles and generates power from sinking and floating. So it has a sort of up and down side to side movement depending on the technique. It also is an internal/external style as it mimicks the dragon spirit. It is benevolent, but when pressed it unleashes awsome power and ferociousness.

Hope this helps!

the sinking floating or fou tsum tunn tou - float sink swallow spit principles is found in most of the hakka or southern PM styles, no Not just lung ying, right

Right. But from what little I've seen the other Hakka styles stay in the concave shoulders a lot more than we do. We actually sink and rise from technique to technique.
