Temple Kungfu TV ads

[iron_silk]

Does anyone here seen those ads or know anything of their program?

I've seen those ads and they seem suspect. I could be wrong.

And their cult leader is a self-promoted psuedo-pope of his own hokey creation...

Come on, you can do better than that!

unfortunatly i am tired of temple threads. it's 2002, if you are still fooled by this kinda stuff, you are stupid and don't desrve to learn martial arts as far as i'm concerned. back in the 70's and 80's it was a different story because nobody knew any better. so i do not care to bother educating the populous about the templescam.

Ah, you're no fun.

Thanks a lot Serpent.

This wasn't meant to say "duh are they for real?" I just wanted to hear any stories behind it. Though I seem uncertain of their validaty, I was only covering my ass.

How come they are still around? I called them once by accident b/c they listed themselves under a different name in the phone book (from my area) and under their name. I called the"Canadian Association of Kung Fu" or whatever it was called...and

I heard a guy say "Hello Temple Kung Fu" I went "What the F*ck!" and then I noticed the phone numbers are the same. So seeing as how I called already I decided to ask them some questions about their lineage.

At least they didn't lie (to me) about their master or their master's master had learned from shaolin or from even a Chinese master.

Their ads are disturbing and funny.

Well Serpent? Where's the show?

[neito]

i called them once after seeing an ad for kempo kung-fu, so when they answered temple kung-fu i did not notice. i cam down for the interview and was quite dissapointed. those baztards did not get my wallet. :)

[rubthebuddha]

seve ... serpent is expecting more than he's going to get. temple kung fu is a joke, as are their claims -- about lineage, style, skill of their master, the whole bull**** piano thing ($20 says it was a rousing rendition of chopsticks) -- everything about temple is a lie. it's a funny one when you spend some thought on it, but it's a joke that's been told so many times that most of us are tired of hearing it.

I drift in and out. Everything there is to say about TKF has been said... and said again, and again. Yes they are a McDojo, yes Olaf is a fraud in that he makes false claims about his lineage, misrepresents the style he teaches, and is now building a shrine to himself in Grand Forks with the money he's scammed and volunteer labor by those students who still believe in him. Very few of the steady stream of new students at my studio stick around for more than a few weeks or months although none of them will ever get their $$money$$ back. As for me, it sucks that I fell for this stuff, it sucks that I'm $3000 poorer and that I'm going to have to switch styles/schools at some point. Hopefully when I have the cash I'll be able to train under a genuine master in a style of my choice, meanwhile I work hard, read all I can to stay on the right track, and routinely kick my instructor's a$$ in point sparring.

iron_silk: they're still around because plenty of people who wander into their studios just don't know better. It also helps to be the only "kung fu" business in the phone book.

[WinterPalm]

Does that mean temple kung fu doesn't even do anything more than tap sparring or point sparring or whatever?
That is sick.

Ah, those old ads... Wish we had vcr's back then. Remember the one with the white guy that look like a Fed in a karate gi doing a leaning over brick break. The flute music in the background..

They are still running ads on tv?!

Royal Dragon enter's the room, pulls up a chair and says,

Oh well, this is obviously just too old for fun any more. I'm off to the Wing Chun forum. ;)
