q: Do all students of shaolin, worldwide, consider grandmaster sin their master?
A: Definitely not! First, you should realize that many schools using the word shaolin, bear no direct relationship to the actual shaolin temples in china. Often the name shaolin is added to any chinese art in order to borrow its incredible reputation.
rotflmffao
More mind control bullsheet. so no one but Shaolin Do in the whole world has direct connections or links to the Shaolin temple? FUKKING LIARSQuote:
Shaolin-Do students are indeed fortunate to have a lineage that was at the temple right up to its destruction, so we now have the final version of the Shaolin teachings.
Agreed, but the only way some of us could do that would be to learn from books or videos.... and we see how well that turns out. LOL My instructor has talked about reaching out and having others come in and teach seminars and such. Even what KC is currently teaching (traditional Tang Lang) was not allowed before. Things are more open now.
Anyone want to travel and come in and teach? :-D
SD is not the customary "REAL SHAOLIN" but I enjoy it and whether some one likes it or not I dont care I also enjoy Shoto kan and the Tang Lang and Hung systems I did before. My main thing is I like it. as Bruce Lee said , if it helps you in a fight then its good.
Snipper what i said was from the Bible not Kung Fu the TV show. basically it is like saying those w/o sin should cast the 1st stone. who among us is w/o flaw? thats from Kung fu by Master Po LOL
Q: Why do Shaolin-Do students wear seemingly "Japanese" uniforms to practice Chinese Kung Fu?
A: Actually the "Gi" uniform is much closer to the garments the Shaolin monks wore than any other uniform commercially available. (BULLSHEET) What is now called a "traditional kung fu uniform" has only recently become popular for martial arts (MORE BULLSHEET) and was mostly worn by normal, non-martial arts people in China. I have several pictures of ancient statues of Shaolin monks taken when I visited the Shaolin temple in 1998, and they all wore a wrap-around style "Gi". In fact, this uniform is similar to a style of garments worn by peasants and farmers (and monks) during the Tang Dynasty in China (the golden age of martial art development at the temple). You will not find the frog-button style "kung fu" uniforms that we have become used to seeing in martial arts movies.
the bible is full of it too! just like SD Garbage.....Quote:

Snipper Snipskinsky to you potato head!
Bawang, I can't totally disagree with this point because, if I was doing a form that was lifted from another lineage, there's a legitimate argument that one who wanted to truly learn that form should seek out the originator. Having said that, I've elected to stay at my current rank well beyond when they would have promoted me. At my current rank, almost all of the material is the made-up stuff and not the stolen stuff. Ironically, I couldn't get that stuff anywhere else (precisely because it was either made up or taught to Sin and Hang in Indonesia) and, like many on this thread who have left SD, I find that material very useful whether it's Kung Fu, Kun Tao, or Crazy Old Man Just Made This Up Fu.
the brainwashed NEVER know they've been brainwashedQuote:
do you understand that you are grateful to sin the for scamming you?
drop the shaolin name, keep the made up **** and throw out all of the stolen stuff. what you have left is SIN THE......
when you practice sin thes material, you spread and promote his legacy. shaolin do is a 500 page book with random letters.
there is dfference between fantasizing about what is possible, and what is impossible. the shaolin dream is more sweet when it is possible. for you, you have decided it is impossible forever. this is sin thes final victory over you.
