The 6 months of Shaolin Do-n't was a shameful chapter in my martial arts study, and when asked about my martial arts background I usually don't list it as it was negligible.
Nevertheless I found that at the Atlanta school they had very good conditioning. (pretty much only positive thing I can say about the experience)
The sparring techniques were eh-okay, the forms were obviously suspect from the beginning and I realized it wasn't gongfu by the 2nd form I learned.
From what my Shifu (current) told me, the SD forms are obviously not gongfu, but the Tai Chi that's taught there is mostly correct Yang style with slight alterations.
All in all people still in SD simply do not want to admit they were wrong, or admit that they wasted a portion of their life and were tricked. It's easier to live with their delusions of grandeur.
yeah. still. it's shaolin Don't.
