    Is anyone here a practioner or have knowlege of a set of forms named (or atleast at one times named) Dom Toi? and if so, could you list your style that you learned the forms from and something about the forms?

    Could you be referring to the "Tam Tui"? It's a set of twelve forms that are supposed to lay the foundation for further learning. I've just started learning them myself...only have them down up to the third set. Sadly, I am nowhere near good enough to be able to explain the movements yet.

    EDIT: And I am learning them in the My Jhong Law Horn style, though I believe they are traditionally thought of as the basics upon which most northern styles (and perhaps southern styles as well) are built.

    Someone feel free to correct me if anything I've said sounds in error. I certainly don't claim to be an expert at this point.

    Thank you for the info

    As you know, the romanization of names can change over time and place so it may very well be Tam Tui. and Thank you for that correction.

    Could you describe the movements to me please?

    Romanization of names is one thing that makes some of this stuff so hard to search for. I got the best results searching for "Tan Tui". Here is a video that shows a "10 road" tan tui. I'm not familiar with the 10 set version, but I'm having a bear of a time finding a chart online for the 12 sets. Hopefully I can remember to get a chart from my school this weekend. If so, I'll scan it in and put it up for you.

    EDIT: Guess I should have searched for a few more minutes before posting. Try this page for a (rather large) chart of the forms.
