need help locating a school

[Shaolinlueb]

I'm looking for a good reputable kung fu school in springfield missouri(sp?). a friend i have out there has been wanting to learn.

I found one school there for kung fu. i dont want to post my judgements on it (because i think the people dont look good) but does anyone know about it?
Shaolin Lohan School of Kung Fu
1675 East Seminole Street, Springfield, MO 65804

With all due respect. That looks like a bull**** school. All of the stances are weak(heel off the floor).

Schools like that give kung fu a bad name.

He claims to be the only lineage holder of the lohan sytem.
I know lohan and I didn't see anything that looked like it.

Tell your friend to go find a good karate school or something.

What's with the 35 Chambers of sash levels?

(because i think the people dont look good)

this is all that counts, your assessment is correct.

The key question you should ask your self is what is it that doesn’t look good.

yeah i thought the school was a joke too. i was looking at the stances and shook my head. i told my friend to never ever go there. but are there any other schools in the area? other than karate or tae kwan do.

Nice find, NP! Pai Li Lung's group is one of the few orginizations Pai Lum Colorado is "friendly" with. I have never found that website in any of my searches. Thanx!:)

[Shaolinlueb]

never heard of pai lum. is it any good?

[greendragon]

My school may be near there, I'm not sure. I went to class and my school was gone, building and everything ! So it could be in Springfield for all I know. Or it could have been a dream.

I think it is. I've also studied a style called Ninjitsu Kai, and I like Pail Lum much better. It has more depth than many styles. Like most systems, you get out of it what you put into it. The basics are fairly easy to grasp and simple to use with a little practice. If you are looking for something more complex and far reaching, it has that, too.
