One idea I have, is making a Disciple can only promote to pieces that you have lost and only one of: Monkey, Panther, Crab, Snake, Tiger, Crane, Dragon, Mantis.
I also have idea of single-letters notations for pieces:
I = Disciple
N = Monkey
P = Panther
R = Crab
S = Snake
T = Tiger
C = Crane
D = Dragon
M = Mantis
Q = Ng Mui
X = Wing Chun
L = Bruce Lee
Z = Super Wing Chun
F = Super Bruce Lee
K = Shaolin Master
And then make up a Chinese notation of pieces as well, based on the Chinese kung fu. So that you can even use a flat Chinese pieces but with marks of the name of these pieces in Chinese instead. (I know the game is not Chinese but I still prefer flat pieces for chess variants in general)
