No, I skipped out because I thought that he was going work outside and I injured my foot. I didn't want to aggravate it by working outside with shoes on. Of course he didn't so I'm minus one drunken spear. I'm 0-3 for learning cool katas, since I missed both the new sword and staff kata Master Sin taught out last and they both looked awesome as hell.Quote:

Wow, you guys learn ALOT of forms!! How do you have time to get anything more than the outside shell of them?
For each rank of progression that is the number of years it should take. 2-3rd 3years 3-4th 4years etc etc. Not all people progress beyond the outer shell but the object for all is not to learn all the intricacies of the art , the conditioning itself is something else that is worth the time. In the old Kung Fu tv show it was said it may take half a lifetime to master one art. However that is dependent upon the spirit, dedication and attitude. KC:D
Check out the announcement about the new seminar material for the next two years on the main SD website.
Woohooo, woohooooooo:D

1.) Starchaser mixes some mean music.
2.) Jonie Uniforms sells some quality uniforms.
3.) ShaolinDo teaches too many forms too quickly. However despite that there are some pretty cool people who train in it, and it is what it is, so it's probably pointless to debate any of the other points because we'll just never agree.
NNNNOOOOO!!!!!
Save the conclusions for page 100. :D

Most people don't ;) Reading a book on medicine doesn't make one a doctor... of course reading books and practicing kungfu aren't the same, so it's kind of a silly arguement anyway :p
BTW, about learning lots of forms... I practiced longfist basics for about 4 years with little form work. It takes me about 30 minutes to commit a minute long form to memory now. I admit, I do pick things up fairly quickly compared to a lot of people, but I know I'm not the only one. As most have seen from the vids, SD pretty much follows the same basics whether it's drunken, monkey, mantis, chang quan, taiji, etc. It wouldn't be too unreasonable to memorize 800 to 900 or so forms, especially if you make notes, and practice them all with esentially the same physical basics.
Just because you 'could' doesn't mean you 'should'.
True... ;)
