I'm sorry but about GMT is completely false. Go to shaolingrandmaster.com watch the intro alone!

"the youngest grandmaster in shaolin history, Sin Kwan The. Shaolin Grandmaster"

In the...

For those who want to critique. There is a new video up at http://shaolincenter.com/

I see this all the time in SD. I know in the CSC, you might have 3 different people show you the same thing. ALL DIFFERENTLY. VERY annoying.

I don't think this is limited to M Grooms. It's a...

Forms are something that is completely new to me. I'm working on them in my spare time as much as I can. When you go through boxing training (atleast for me) there weren't forms. Only combos, ducks,...

shaolindoiscool - Thank you for the post comparisons. Even though I really wanted to see the external styles compared. That gave me what I was looking for but for Internal, still good comparisons.
...

Chain Whip makes some good points. Nobody has accused me of being "Karate like" but if they did, I'd ask for exact details. Personally I don't care if people say I look "Karate like" because it...

That was my comment about disrespect because I was accused of it without my questions on Sin's comments being addressed. It was not serious, it was by their logic and was to make a point. I don't...

SWookie - Thank you for your response. I don't care about what we wear or don't (frog buttons or shoes) wear. When I read about GM Sin, I got the same impression that he was claiming to be the GM of...

I have no issue. Someone said I disrespected M Grooms and GM Sin. I was responding to the accusation. I was also pointing out why I had the opinion that I have of GM Sin. Because of his own words.
...

If you call Su Kong under your own logic a "Tall Tale" you are also insulting GM Sin and Ie. The logic is just a way to discredit the messenger and not the message.

What does it matter what my...

But like I said earlier, this lineage argument will go nowhere. Bringing it up only causes conflict.

I said my apologies and I'll drop it if you agree to drop it. Otherwise we can go another 300...

I see what you're saying. But how do you give a higher level of respect to someone who is your teacher's teacher.

When

1. a student should (IMO) almost always exceed his teacher in skill
...

I wasn't trying to disrespect anyone. I thought I had a legitimate question. If you feel I disrespected M Grooms or GMS by claiming to be under M Grooms instead, I'll apologize for that now. But it...

@Shaolin Wookie

I do train and practice and I love the art. No question. But to say that because other schools in the area are equally "shady" in their lineage is no excuse for the cloudiness of...

I didn't disrespect GMS by saying I think the tall tales are tall tales. They are of course... his stories. How am I being disrespectful?

I do credit GMS with teaching M Grooms but I have yet to...

There are things you've seen that I may never see? For instance?

What movie ****? I was referring to the way he presents himself to the public. Using an analogy.

If you've heard it all before...

I don't think I need to apologize to anyone. I like the art and the school. I don't like the tall tales. I know M. Grooms was a student of Sin. I know he probably likes him and respects him. But...

I said before I wouldn't address the lineage argument. But reading through this thread... I now want to address it.

Here's my take:

Do I think the lineage is bull****? Yes and No

Yes, I...

I take Shao-lin Tao at one of the Atlanta schools. My wife studies TKD and I can tell you they are worlds apart.

I like the people I've met in Shao-lin Tao (I'm new to it) and I think they have...

He does have some big @$$ pecs! :D:p

Yes I've just started training with this school. I have some experience in boxing though. (father started to teach me boxing very young)

I tend not to like anything that I think is telegraphed....

You pretty much step behind your other leg to start the kick. Not something I would do in a fight.

Yikes! :eek: I never thought a form would make me a super fighter. What I meant was that I'll take what I think is useful (punches, kicks, blocks) and discard the stuff I don't find useful. For...

I don't have the answer to that question, but I can tell you what I plan to do. I plan on learning what I need to learn to advance at the school.

Then in my practice time at home. I will be only...
