It took a long while to get the steps and rhythm of Da Luohan to where there is some flow and honestly its a serious grind. Ironically, you're article with Shi De Cheng was what sparked...

thanks so much man! starting to understand the confusion is really just preference. meaning people's perspective and opinion.
Shaolin's native curriculum is not hard to locate or translate as long...

& going further into Da Luohan, I have identified what's...

Recently I've been searching for the "poems" to Da Luohan, the form above in the video of Shi De Ci, is just about exactly what I was taught, with minor variations that probably come from him or his...
