The Modern Southern Shaolin Temple
What styles do they practice at this temple? Is it just like song shan but in he south or do they practice more southern martial arts? Is it like song shan in that they practice a mix of wushu and traditional or do they do only one? What goes on there? I have been dieing to know more about this temple since I first heard about it. I've been waiting for kungfu qigong to publish more articles on it but they are taking to long! Any info on this temple would be appreciated. I don't want to here about how it was "cooked up by PRC" though cause wheither it exsisted before doesn't matter to me, it exists now.
We're still working on that story...
We had two different authors who were planning to go - Shawn Liu and Benny Meng. But both had changes in their plans. Shawn was planning to go when there was talk of installing his master Suxi as abbot there, but that doesn't look like it's going to happne now. They still might go, but not soon. Unfortunately, there isn't much around there (or so I hear) - it's a little off the beaten path. But hopefully someone will go soon.
If any of you want to go and report back, please let me know!
Less controversial Wing Chun?
Actually, Rene has been working on something for our eZine and if you look at our next issue (which should hit the stands in about two weeks) you'll find 4 wing chun articles, not a one by Benny. Admitedly he writes a lot for us - he was just one of the people planning to visit the Southern Temple, so we we're hoping he could bring back the story.
We ran one southern temple story back in Mar/Apr 2001, but we want more details. Sounds like we're not the only ones...
