anyone know of this school and its lineage?

just curious. thanks for any answers!

First impressions tell me he's either a conman, or he got taken by a little old Chinese conman :p. Could be wrong, but I kind of doubt it in this case.

On an unrelated note, that also has to be one of the most unprofessional and difficult to read webpages I've ever seen :eek: It's just aweful...

[Royal Dragon]

The "Kung Fu Karate" thing makes me skeptical. Sounds like kempo guys re marketing to me. You would have to see the curriculem to know for sure.

[David Jamieson]

the words "shaolin" and "karate" go together like milk and borax.

and if the martial arts is anything like the web savvy, i would say "flashing red light flashing red light!" :p

[csckungfuguy]

the only reason i ask is he claims to teach a lot of the same material as shaolindo or central shaolin...i agree though his site is certainly suspect!

[MasterKiller]

The overwhelming number of mullets on that site are proof enough to me he ripped off Sin's material.

Yep, looks like everything he teaches and most of what he writes was "borrowed" from SD.

Like Shorin ryu?

[Shaolindynasty]

No not like shorin ryu because Shaolin and Karate are two different languages. Shorin ryu is "shaolin School" translated into japanese.

What would this be, like a 1st or 2nd black in SD?

[Judge Pen]

Yep around 2nd black plus some extra stuff he must have picked up here and there.

[TenTigers]

wow, he teaches the tai-chi sword. I bet he wears tai-chi slippers too. -always a good sign.

[tattooedmonk]

...that was the sorriest sack of **** I have ever seen..some body put this guy and his student out of their misery..total ****ing conman..what a joke ....definitely 2nd black or less in shaolin do

[Zhijian Tsui]

Just looking at the lame web site would put me off taking a look into the school.
