I agree completely I just always find it funny how people think that the monks were so high and mighty. I think some ate meat, drank wine, etc...If your brothers weilding staffs were being killed by blades it would be safe to assume they would be smart enough to pick up blades themselves.
u got that rightQuote:

In the book "shaolin monastery history, religion and chinese martial arts" by meir shahar there is an historical account of a monk killing a lady from behind with an iron staff who was fleeing a battle site. I guess its a bad idea to be a pacifist in a war....:p
hskwarrior,
Pardon my ignorance but why exactly has that book caused CLF headaches? Now I'm curious! :)
It's a fictionalized account of the founding of the Hung Sing school and differs from what some Chan family members like to give as their history.
the book has caused all of CLF head aches because a few of our elders claim the history within this book is wrong. however, i highly doubt any of our elders really read that book. I think some have been told what was in it, but to tell the truth no one really knows whats exactly in it either. the book is very hard to find these days. but im trying to get this book so i can see exactly what is causing so much drama.
come to think about it, the only people i remember making a stink about this book really comes from the students of Doc Fai Wong. he was really the person making the biggest stink by writing his book and saying that the first book was where we got our history from. but what DFW was saying was in the book ISN'T the history as we know it.
there is allegedly something in this book that says jeung hung sing saved Chan Heung over some water rights. this is something we never heard of or even mentioned it before.
the biggest problem came when THEY tried to tell us our own history.
i wasn't lying. :rolleyes:Quote:
Again Frank? It wasn't that long ago that you were trotting out that story.
Also, Doc Fai Wong is not THEY, he is your senior (by 2 generations) in the Futsan line
Doc Fai Wong stopped being my Sisook Gung once he left our school. In person i do respect him as such because i was taught right. but the truth is, he is no longer involved with our lineage in any way shape or form. that isn't the sign of someone part of a lineage, family, group or whatever. I eat dinner at certain restaurants. aside from being a patron, it doesn't make me part of that business. So lets be real. Doc Fai Wong learned HSCLF from 63-67. His interaction with our school ended shortly after that. he doesn't promote us. and i know why he first learned gung fu in the first place. It was something he told my sifu directly. that statement was all i needed to know and makes sense to why he left us after his sifu passed.
and i was answering a question. it was YOU who butted into this conversation. so, if you're looking to liven this place up a bit with a confrontation. LETS DO IT.
PS......
Copy and paste the story of me saying Jeung Hung Sing defended Chan Heung frome being beat up over water rights.
Ben, i know you haven't read that book. you are just spouting out what DFW told you. unless you read it, you're just spoutng off. spout away. LOL
