Yanfan reached out to me directly about a Shaolin performance as part of this show:


Here's his Press Release

I'm sad I won't be able to attend.

Yanfan-(Franco-Testini)...

Woah...I need money to pay for razors to shave my head...:rolleyes:

Apparently, Shi Yanfan is featured in the Sept 2011 FHM. Gotta give up some...

Both Shi Yanxu and Shi Yanfan are participating in SANA. Nothing like a move towards Shaolin unification to split students apart. :rolleyes:

wenshu, you're going the wrong direction with that post. Do not bait sha0lin1 into posting pics of his cheeks. :mad:

Yea, I'm just happy I could afford new brakes on my Honda Fit today. The book sales helped.

If I was the Shaolin Grand Puba, I'd be rocking the phat jade bling and be carried in on a palanquin...

Karate Kid has been good for coattailing.;)

I've never heard of that guy in those vids. But Shaolin is so vast now that there are legions of people involved that I've never heard of. It's impossible to stay on top of it all anymore.

...I just don't know. I don't know the Bulgarian guy at all. Was he from Italy originally?

Yanfan's website is www.shaolintemplela.com. I still don't know if he was the furiousmonk or petulantmonk or tizzymonk or whatever. All you white guys look alike to me. ;)

There are three Yanfeis mentioned in The Gold Mountain Monks: 38 Shaolin Immigrants to the San Francisco Bay Area By Chen Xinghua and Gigi Oh in Shaolin Special 2007B. But I'm guessing that you mean...
