he dosnt teach his students humilty as the many of the blackbelts prance around likeir unstoppable through out the school
and plus as i i noted their stuff dosnt even resemble kung fu in the least it looks like some horribly made up karate
as far as the gi goes yes there are no such thing as kung fu unifroms as the standard kung fu uniform that most people are aware of are just standard chinese dress clothes
how ever it is known that the gi is a siganture of japanese and korean martial styles and that no kung fu practiconers are known to wear them thus further discrediting the school
futher if you google shaoilin do itself you will find many disgruntled ex studnets as well that say the same thing i do
during my tenure at the school i did not see any high demonstration of skill ffrom the master or any of his advanced students in fact as i noted i defeated many of their black belts and that was at the time i barely knew any thing at all
plus like the united studios of self defense they are not reckonized by the shaolin temple
in fact i recall seeing a blog about man who put his son i usosd program and he contacted the shoilin temle and the abbot never even heard of them before and was thinking of taking legal action
the same rings true for shaoiln do in fact i think they and united studios are both the same scam
Not all of your points are bad but, as is often the case, they lose validity because they are surrounded by statements that are simply factually incorrect. SD and USSD are not related at all. As for the temple, if you read this entire thread and others, they'll recognize anyone who pays them. Both SD and USSD have placards at the Shaolin Temple. I don't say that as evidence of their validity because, as I already said, it appears that schools can purchase these placards. I use it more as an example of how you should verify facts before using them to support your opinions. If your facts are wrong, how can anybody lend any weight to your opinion.
As for my SD kwoon, they don't give belts away but, at the same time, I wish that testing was done to a slightly higher standard. I will say that there are no sick, lame, lazy fat butts at our school because we train hard. I can't say that about many other martial arts schools out there today.
