well, to clarify, I wasn't speaking specifically of Combined 24. I practice it, and use it to great sucess in application.

That's it right there. I don't practice Kung-Fu to look pretty and impress judges. Wushu is cool and all, but I prefer something a bit more practical.

Weather or not SD's origins/lineage can be...

Ditto, here in Colorado.

funny when someone tosses a match into an oil spill.

Other than that, I'm not going to bother to comment on an obvious attempt to cause trouble.

Kinda silly for a student scoping out schools to sign up under someone who's been training for less than 10 years. But of course you have kids and what-not who don't bother researching their school....

Actually, I'm in Colorado Springs. But it's a general dislike for Texans here. It's not child molestation I make jokes about, it's texans.

that's texas for ya ;) They seperate their men from their boys with a crowbar, so I hear.

Rumor has it he's working on a movie....maybe that will clear some things up? ;)

thanx for the link, Brad. :)

I HATE wearing a Gi. Did I stress that enough?? H.A.T.E. wearing a Gi.

Shen Ku, welcome to the forum (from one n00b to another).

I do need to warn you that some people around here are a bit.....harsh on us Shaolin Do students, but don't let it get to ya.

There's a...

I HIGHLY doubt it. Especially looking at the schedule I have here. I doubt very much if he'd have time, or the inclination, to post here.

Edit: not to mention, just look at the attitude presented...

Just a quick question. If it is indeed air that blows the flame out....how is it that one can blow out the SECOND candle in a line of three without blowing out the first? A subtle change in angle of...

That's my main problem....the time to do it. maybe in a couple years.....

Ralphie: when I test in Boulder, I may just stop and see your school. They have a sweet web site. Thank you :)
...

I was not aware of this :)

In that case, BM2: Do you find that BJJ and SD are good partners as far as cross-training? I ask because as much as I LOATHE grappling, it is my opinion that grappling...

I can't speak for Shaolin-Do in general, but ONE of the many reasons I settled at this particular school was the Fa jing and near flawless form demonstrated by some of our students.

What you need...

Yeah, I pick up on stuff fast...and I've played around with some other systems when I was younger (32 now). Most of my lower belt time was spent polishing and working on fine points. I tested in...

Yer **** right I'd be proud to have first black. :D

To answer your question, GoldenTiger, I'm only a n00b. I've been at this CSC for 6 months, and am a lowly 3rd Brown. I've been progressing...

In the book it's listed as a 37 posture, on the FLYER, it's listed as 64. I guess it depends on how you count the postures, and if you lump the duplicates together, or what-not.
I learned the...

Constantly berating someone's school every time it is mentioned in a thread is neither constructive or useful, and is not conductive to an environment where people want to be.

Maybe some of you...

Excuse me, but I'm not the one raving here. As I've stated above, I've been nothing but polite here.

Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but there's no reason to hijack threads just...

Nice attitude. That alone is a fantastic contribution to teh kung-fu mentality :rolleyes:

/end sarcasm

Honestly, man. people should be able to post on these boards without having people like...

the thing I don't understand is how some people have managed to hang around this forum for so long. Almost any other forum I've been to would ban people who contribute nothing but flame wars.
...

This is exactly what I mean of course. Further, I don't see how being polite and respectful classifies me as a "cry baby". To me, and I'm sure most others, it signifies having basic manners and a...

I agree. I do however object to the fact that any thread brought up concearning SD immediatly becomes a target for flamers and trolls. It's disrespectul, and not necessary. Opinions are fine, everone...

Our Yang contains 37 postures, our COMBINED tai chi form is 24 postures, and we know where it was invented and by whom, thank you.

Your personal crusade against our school is flattering, but...
