Good to hear he's reopening soon.

Britain's only Shaolin Monk? What about these guys? :rolleyes:

It's all 詠春 to me. ;)

Here's more from Matthew.

"win chung"? Is that the proper English spelling? :rolleyes:

Awww. The images are blocked.

You're so right about Matt's intentions versus the directors of the series. You can never really tell what the original intentions might be - could be better, could be worse - you just have to look...

I'm hoping some of you will watch this and tell me if it's worth my time. I might watch it later regardless.

'carrying a knife sometimes'? What's wrong with that? I'm carrying a knife right now. I'm almost always carrying a knife.

Congrats to Matthew

I'm changing this thread title from 'Shaolin on Superstars of Dance' to 'Matthew Ahmet'

That's a great title, eh? Britain’s Got Talent’s Shaolin Warriors. BGTSW.

Shaolin eliminated from BGT. Ahmet should just stop with this now. If he's not going to win, he should not front the Shaolin name so. ;)

Can the Shaolin dance team beat a Madonna drag artist?

Did anyone tell Ahmet and the UK news that Shaolin is not going to be an Olympic event? Someone should since 2012 is London...:rolleyes:

I was so done with SSoD last week, but there's no practice tonight because of Chinese New Years, so I might tune in anyway. I'm just hoping that the monks get slighted, then get ****ed off and then...

His command of English is what makes him crucial to SSoD. They couldn't even get an English-speaking Chinese judge...

The Shaolin vs. Groovaloo was silly. They filmed it like an old scratchy kung fu flick and it was just the two groups busting moves, but not really interacting. There was no improvisational...

...there are so many disciples now. It's hard to keep track. :o

Tonight's the Shaolin vs. Groovaloo showdown, but I'm going to blow it off. I got practice and Papa's got some new shoes.

But next week should be good - some sort of throw down between the U.S. hip hop dancers and the monks. If the monks are smart, they'll just hand the hip hoppers 3-section staffs and chain whips and...

..it was odd. The styles of dance are so different that it's difficult to judge against each other. And the competitors are going more for stunt dancing than smooth choreography. They do some...

...but I have practice. Besides two hours of tv time is a lot to invest for me. I still haven't watched the pilot on the web. It would be really cool if someone could post the time codes for the...

Heck, I'm a sujiadizi. I've never called myself a Shaolin monk. I've called myself the real fake monk, but that's a different story.

Anyone across the pond know Matthew Ahmet?

I went to sleep early and missed it completely. Yesterday, my wife says "I'm surprised you didn't watch it. I did." Sheesh. Coulda woke me up...:rolleyes:

The full episode is here. Maybe I'll...

I disagree, Nebuchadnezzar. You're coming from a martial myopic position. For centuries, Shaolin kung fu has been, among other things, a performing art. Sure, there's traditional practice and...

Still nothing on the NBC site about it though. The ad promotes it as a global competition and the segment with the Shaolin-robe clad dancers looks like a typical Shaolin show demo.

I've never...
