If you really have skills, any coach should be able to see that.
Go visit some schools and gyms. Talk to the headmaster/head coach about your situation. Honestly, you should do that no matter what your skill level might be.
I've bounced across several coaches in the last few years. I've never had to go through the 'beginner' material. I still do the basics with the rest of the class (heck, it's all about the basics - can't repeat them enough). But for my individual time with the headmaster, I do completely different material. I don't test or do any of the belt level stuff. Of course, I'm a unique situation. But still, nothing beats just going in and having a good talk with whoever you plan to train under.
P.S. And I voted 'no hope' but that's because I know ya from the forum here. :p
I do know Guosong, but not very well.
He had a rather unfortunate scandal here in S.F. when he first came over. In retrospect, I do NOT think he was at fault. I believe he was victim to some unsavory promoters and got caught between a sketchy business deal in which he was just a pawn, not a playa. It was a long complicated story, but it's all here on the Shaolin forum, plus you'll probably want to follow up on Leland Yee here. :eek:
His Shaolin Kung Fu is excellent and his applications seem quite strong (I've never trained with him personally so I don't know). However, I don't think he's into full-contact sparring.
