There are more of us than you think...
Thanks to Gene's fantastic new book - he has uncovered a style of Shaolin that up until this point many practitioners did not know they were a part off.
Had to get a thread going on this LOL!!!
:D

Shaolin Trips. It's on every Shaolin Rasta's bookshelf. ;)
Correct - however that was my wife who sent you the face book praise...
Shaolin Rasta envy will drive a person to that :p
Lets work on getting Burning Spear to a Shaolin Rasta Festival...
Burning Spear is nothing but another pop group now under Michael Frante's front.
Yeah they sound so bad...
Spear Burn!
Check 'dis - Shaolin Rasta represents at TCKFMCII, seen? (see video "Presenting: Gene Ching")
:D
P.S. Now I can put a face on your wife, Blacktiger. ;)
LOL thats great!!!
I was being sarcastic in realtion to Burning Spear...
:D
ha! as someone who is both a shaolin disciple and someone who works in Jamaica with some people such as High Priest Ellis out of Judgement Yard amongst many others, I bring Shaolin and Rasta together quite a bit!
no way to post pics in these threads yet is there...****.
any of you guys ever check out the religious hard talk on tvj? muta engaged in an interesting debate and references Buddhism a few times!
And you can post pics here. You can upload them by using the "attach files" function beneath the posting window, and then grab the image address and paste it in the "insert image" icon in the toolbar above the posting window. Or you can just use the "insert image" and post something from somewhere else on the web.
Here's a pic of me in full rasta regalia. This is from Reggae Rising 2009. I oversee psychiatric crisis intervention for Jah Med, a true duppy conqueror!

we basically took over the west end of negril for the week. before the 2nd day everyone was saying merry christmas and amitabha.

one of my Idren is High Priest Ellis, out of Judgement Yard. Every year for my main event in Negril, Priest gathers representatives out of all the bredren to come represent. Actually this is quite rare, as many of the groups stick to their own trod. However, Priest is able to get Nyabinghi men, Bobo, even the most serious bredren who never come down from the hills come down to Negril. Anyway, we have had quite a few reasonings over the years and he has always wanted a set of Shaolin robes and some malas, and when I told him my plans for a retreat to support our capital campaign, and how we would need a buddha, he went and found a rastaman carver to do the work.
This is one of the first Buddhas to be carved in Negril, and Jamaica to my knowledge.

The story goes it caused quite the fuss around the work shop, with people forwarding by to check it out as it progressed, even take pictures, and other carvers showing love and support.
and now to the rasta:
tessane chynn was staying at the same property, having a show.

Great stuff...
This thread still has legs!!!!:D
I got some more I just need to dig them up.
Kiss mi neck! Mi cyaan believe mi yeye! Aw, you dudes are HURTIN' mi right now! ( I mean that in a good way). Ok, I caught wind of monk Shi Yanming bein' in Negril a couple a years ago, but can you tell me, bredda Sloan, if this is a year to year ting? Cause, if so, I definitely want to be there. When I was in Negril in July, I saw a Rasta yout' over by Rick's bangin' his arms on a tree! Right then I thought of Yanming and figured his (and the whole a yu guys') influence was the cause! By the way, I'm that guy talkin' to Gene in the clip ( wha' gwaan, bredda Gene?) And you best believe, Rasta & Shaolin can go together, and all wushu in general. I could go on & on about that, but it's late & I should be in bed! Anyway, til such time. Bless.
not exactly year to year, but we will definitely be doing it again Idren.
end goal being a temple there.

A Shaolin temple in Jamaica would be unreal....:)
I could see a few of us from our school going over for a vsit for sure...
Reggae, Dub, Roots + training = good times :D
Here's a random ttt for this thread. Check out my shirt. :cool:

My former coach Sifu Tony Chen dropped by the office. He's been working with WulinFeng to promote fights all across Asia. We've covered WulinFeng extensively - the most recent coverage was about the Vegas debut last year - USA vs. China (or Blood and Rhinestones) By Patrick Lugo in our Jan/Feb 2010 issue. Staying on thread topic, he was involved with staging a fight in the Caribbean, and ended up bringing home this hysterical touristy shirt for his son. It was Spidermon (note the mon) which was this red, green and gold tiedye, with the image of spiderman on it, but spiderman had a knit rasta and dreadlocks. I couldn't but grin seeing his son run around the school with that on.
for real.
and it looks like we might be building something sooner than we thought, since none other than Spragga Benz recently came by.

richard sloan for the win. Niceness!
gene it was pretty cool. swapped a lot of reasoning. we cruised down to the temple after we hit up a book signing event at the consul general's office- new book you would love it by Dr. Laura Tanna, Jamaican Folktales. The presentation of the book is pretty sick- they put the story down as it was told through oral traditions with a shot of and some info about the story teller.
here's the book on amazon:

Okay, I must confess. I got this link from a Wudang connect. I gave her the opportunity to post it herself and hijack this thread in the name of Wudang, but it's been a few days now and she still hasn't moved on it. I'm sure she's got more as she hinted to a tale of having "dreaded up multiple Beijing rocker boys".
And I&I mus' keep dishere t'read bubblin' on the top one hundread!
Check out Long Shen Dao: The Way of the Dragon God.
Check out my new custom built Mobile Rasta Machine :D
Standard equipment for any Shaolin Rasta!!!
...it could also use a handy copy of Shaolin Trips on one of those shelves. ;)
LOL :)
weapons are stored underneath the laptop - they share the space for the wax :)
The book could fit however would need to remodel the Redstripe and Rizzla.
Well, I'm not really a rasta, but I do like to levitate. :)
Fun thread. Jah light...
You can also see him in action on KFM TV. He is in the Kung Fu Weapons video. Watch how he deals with all that hair.
Get outta here! I don't know whether to be happy or embarrassed! I guess to show the international appeal of CMA to the Chinese audience, a dreadlocked rasta doing Shaolin style (or trying to!) will get the point across!
I can't stand seeing myself sometimes tho, know what I mean? At least they didn't catch me picking my nose or something! Or when I messed up somewhere! But, hey, I'm actually flattered! And honored. And humbled.
Been trying some other methods of binding up my locks. They do get in the way sometimes, but I just keep going!
I give thanks.
If the 36th chamber is the outside world...what is the 37th chamber representing?

We do have the nose picking shots. Just haven't had time to post:D
How much would it take to stop you?
