The original hoksan lion dance may well have looked more like that. It probably wasn't all that similar to the Sar Ping hoksan dance styles originating in Malaysia or Singapore, which is the most common hoksan style dance right now [the fluffy hoksan heads used for high poles and some more traditional competitions]. Modern Jow Ga hoksan heads, which are more similar to the original hoksan lion head design [keeping the duck bill head and sometimes the long tail], also move in more abstract and chaotic ways during routines, and troupes are usually stricter about retaining martial arts stances and technique for that dance. Here's an example from not that long ago. th-cam.com/video/rByHiJXwqjA/w-d-xo.html
