Besides, some of it's funny.
That's very affirming, Kellen, thank you. This is, in my fevered brain, exactly the intention I have always maintained behind this forum - a searchable information archive and a bit of fun. Oh, and some product plugging too. ;)

Um, yeah, well I do take criticism well. It's a pitfall of my job. I will confess to error. In fact, there's a part of me that delights when a delusion of mine is dispelled. The fallout is this; As it stands at this post, the poll is at:
Unlock IS-Dfr. Merge all S-D threads together so it clears 1000 posts! ~ 15
Unlock IS-Dfr. Let all the S-D threads stand independently. ~ 10
Keep IS-Dfr locked down. All IS-Dfr posters deserved to be punished. ~ 4
Delete them all. Let Yama sort them out. ~ 14
Now as presented here, it's been neck-&-neck for option 1 and 4. However, given this polling error, both Unlock options should be merged, which would make it:
Unlock: 25; Delete: 14.
Whatever the case, we'll decide tomorrow.
OPEN ??????????? UNlocked ?????????
In that case SD is the most Traditional best MA in the world and directly from all 6 of the Shaolin Monasteries. No matter what you say. and SD wears Gis because thay are more like the original outfits worn at the temple and they are cheaper and it was Master Ies way. LOL KC:)
The History and Lineage of Shaolin Do
In the late 1800's, a child was born in Fukien Province, China. The child, born out of wedlock was thought to have been fathered by a demon. He suffered a rare genetic condition known as hyper*****extension, initially the villagers thought the child had been born with three legs, and two feet. He became known as Big Dong Tuhis Chin. Big dong mastered everything known about tongue fu in china. When the temple was attacked with fire, he simply peed on the torches, quickly extinguishing them. Escaping to a brothel in Mongolia, he took along one of the young monks, Eat My Ding. Big Dong taught Eat My everything he knew, but Eat My specialized in the Iron Dong, and Tornado Hand Job techniques. Once, Eat My was walking across China when 108 Manchurian guards attacked him. With his Tornado Hand, and Iron Dong, he left them all lying on the ground, sodomized, and spent. Knowing he would be a wanted man for his skills to the new Prince, Sum Yung Gay, he fled to Indonesia where he married, and became a rich communist leader by selling Iron Dong porn on the black market. He taught his number one grandson, Ching Chang Pay over 10,000 porno techniques he learned from early Panther videos. Ching Chang came to the United States, and using 11 secret herbs and spices made an awesome kool aid that turned otherwise intelligent minds to putty.
Just a few hours to go...
With this and the Giants & A's games, I'll be eagerly awaiting news all day.
Professor Lau Bun's U-Ming
This is a reply that is constructive and slightly long-winded and not succinct.
I am sure that some students traded or exchanged and perhaps even sold the five animal set. In this particular case I rather believe that the five animal was taken from my younger uncle’s book. One must understand that the book was not instructional but only informational. The book is full of photographic errors giving readers a slightly skewed view of the set unintentionally. Photographs by their nature are limited and can only show final positions and very little transitional movement. This is a key to understand and master this particular set.
In this day and age many people think that knowledge is available for free. Well go ahead and you will find that your journey will be void of true martial art skill. I must admit that if you practice the five animal set from any source you will feel great because even practicing the shell of the form has its benefits but understand clearly you will never reap the proper benefits of this form without true instruction.
I learned under Jew Sifu and have trained the five animal internal form for many years and can say it is truly a wonder I consider U-Ming to be one of the jewels of the CLF, HUNG SING style originating from Professor Lau Bun.
