I thought Shao-lin had the market cornered on pirate-fu......at least their legends do.

Besides which, Shi [insert his name here] will have an unlicensed firearm or polearm in the back seat of his jeep, with some opium in the glovebox. And when the fight is done, he'll call you a dirty gwailo, then slash your tires with his Emei piercers....LOL....
Given the reaction, if they logged onto KFM for any length of time, their heads would explode.
"WHO IS THIS ANDY (JUDO GRANDMASTER?) WE DEMAND TO SPEAK TO HIM IMMEDIATELY!"
It was a hoax. The BBS had offered an apology and a retraction.

If they're that insecure, they should just stop teaching and practicing wushu....
What are they going to do? Challenge the ninja to a forms competition?
I dunno if this has been posted earlier, if so just delete this.

Wow, they are demanding an apology for a comment made on an internet forum? Wait till they find some of the threads here! :eek:
So passe. Resolved long time ago.
Isn't it possible that this was a publicity stunt?
Quite so! Well, at least the real Shaolin Monks of old, prior to the PRC, were for sure. That's why it was said of them..."Looked for, they cannot be see; listened for, they cannot be heard; and felt for, they cannot be touched."
And what about the Lin-Kuei Pai or Forest Ghost Clan, and the Mo-Shu Nan-Jen or Devil Skilled Men of Calamity? Both were spies and assassins of past centuries in China, and both probably preceded what became Ninjitsu in Japan, judging from the record of historical references?:cool:
Doc
JP, if you run a google search on the term "shaolin" you get approximately 7 million hits versus 61 million for "ninja". Make it "shaolin monks" and the number drops to 1 million, or "shaolin temple" down to 80 thousand.
For every Shaolin martial artist worldwide, how many will ever visit China?
As savy as the monks have become with dealing with tourists, a publicity stunt seems at least possible to me.
