Is-Shaolin-Do-for-real

For the record, I did NOT see Grandmaster Sin Kwang Thé there. I was all over this event. If he was present, I'm sure someone would've pointed him out to me had I just not seen him.

Abbot Shi...

But this seemed nice and post-worthy.

Congratulations to all you Shaolin-Do-ers on this forum.

I've always been amused by this argument. It's like standing inside a bar and saying "This is a dump. Only scum come here. If only they cleaned it up it could be a proper respectable...

Not only is it still going, it's still on the first page of the Shaolin forum. Whassup wid dat? :rolleyes:

For twelve years - a complete Chinese zodiac cycle, this thread has been killing me. :o

You must understand from my journalistic standpoint, it still must be defined as a rumor until validated. When that news emerges publicly, I'm sure some one will post it here. And I totally agree...

We'll see. If the rumors are true, then there should be some news item published on it eventually.

...but I have yet to see anything in a published news source.

Now that's racist. :rolleyes:

...but given all vast number of tai chi teachers, especially at the low levels like at community and senior centers, I don't see this a particularly viable argument.

Tai Chi is the single most popular martial art in the world. You can learn it anywhere, depending of course upon what your criterion for 'legitimate' is. :rolleyes:

This was just posted on our new What was known about Shaolin Kung Fu prior to the 20th century? thread by nooB falkor.

In the grand scheme of things, I'm not sure there's much difference... :rolleyes:

How members want themselves to be perceived is totally up to that individual. If we were control freaks about that, we wouldn't even bother with sponsoring this forum. My point is that this thread...

Indeed. One of the Buddhist vows I took was "A Disciple of Buddha is not possessive of the teaching". As a Songshan Shaolin practitioner, our forms are everywhere, so the issue you have is a...

Well played, hskwarrior. :p


It's not 'them' you need to respect. It's the casual observers, the lurkers. Obviously, you're not going to sway many SD people. The ones you want to reach are...

You don't know how many submissions I get that have poor spelling, at which point I just have to sit back and say 'Seriously?'

But themeecer does have a good point, hskwarrior. This thread is...

I mentioned this thread crossing 1K in my publisher's corner in our new JAN+FEB 2013 issue. I'm horrified that we're now at 1143 pages. That's another 143 in about a month.

Talk about feeding...

don't start that again. :rolleyes:

Of course, as admin, it's easy enough for me to manipulate this thread to secure #2K, but frankly, I wouldn't wish this fate on any of you. :rolleyes:

Wait, you're asking this now?

Well, there is the name. That's as much of a connection as many schools have to Shaolin.

BTW, I mention this IS-Dfr thread in my Publisher's Corner in the new...

Don't start that again...:rolleyes:

At least wait until it's almost at 2K pages...which won't be very long at this rate.

Why do you persist when it's getting deleted? You've already sullied this thread with those images. Cease and desist.
