The more of the Vids I see that are posted the more I can see SD as a true CMA. There are just too many similarities. Body mechanics etc. KC
Please post some SD videos so we can compare.
...I pretty much figured that out after the first class. (I knew it was not real shaolin because of the uniforms, the terminology, and that hairy guy...who would believe such a thing???)...that is why I spent 15 years studying,practicing, and teaching it.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: .....by the way ...it is all made up by someone !!
Actually, many complained about the modern Wushu of Alex Huynh.

THE XIA
On the KFM article, it says that Alex Huynh isn't just a Wushu champion but also a "Shaolin Dragonfist" stylist. Still, it was pretty lousy of them to do the style vs. style B.S.. In addition, a lot of their historical facts were innaccurate. However, the show did have good points to it.[QUOTE]

The complaints were not his forms but his size and power. We only stated the fact.....the forms he showed are some of our lower level Material. That said, in the context of the show I agree with your statement above:) BQ
I just brought to light that Fight Science’s use of Alex Huynh was not without criticism.
Baqualin,
If you read through that thread, there are complaints of him being a modern Wushu stylist.
And my point was that he was doing SD's material and no one said that wasnt' kung fu. They complained about his wushu weapons, but not his empty hand sets (which are both taught within the first year of taking an SD class)
This is my advice to SD guys. If you think you do kung fu, that is fine. if people think you don't do kung fu let them (us) be fools. And don't make comment that will whack the bee hive. I think this thread has not change anyone's mind.
What comment is "whacking the beehive?" I'm not trying to convince you otherwise, but that video illustrated a point--if someone does an SD form well and does it in CMA trappings, then most people wouldn't complain or even know the difference. Heck, my wife knows part of the form that Alex H was doing and she studied SD for less than 6 months.
