Neither actually. :D Small fan maybe.

I can usually watch a form for the form itself. Not just for how the person does it. I can tell from the form how it is supposed to look or how it could be much better if done correctly. Even if I...

No, seriously. Go to yahoo video search and type in tong bei quan. There's a video of a kid doing it from a monk's school. I've also seen a video of Shi De Yang doing it on yahoo or google video...

I watched a bunch of videos I saw on a SD website once. I don't remember where. But there were different animal forms, etc. Typical made-up look of forms you see at any ol' frauds "kungfu" school....

Just thought I'd mention, Shaolin-Do forms are the most retarded fake crap I've ever seen. :eek: I can't believe so many people are stupid enough to believe that garbage. But I have to give it up to...

Try doing a google or yahoo video search for tong bei quan. I know they have some.

What are the 10 Shaolin sets?

Exactly.

Lokhopkuen- You obviously didn't even read this discussion. No one had doubts about his MA ability, but that's besides the point.

Sad but true, and the "Buddhist" wushu disciples actually think they're getting something more or different.

This statement is a little faulty. It is not Buddhism but Nihilism. Can you point out the self that we are trying to make extinct?

When you reach Nirvana it means you have cut off all roots of...

That's so not right. :confused:

Richard, may I ask what "monastics" you have been around your whole life? Your understanding of monastic life sounds "new age" to say the least. :rolleyes: It's my...

(Firstly, I may respect Yanming's philosophy as he is a lay Buddhist, but not as a monk.)

All you do is make excuses? Do you know the point of monkhood? Not "Shaolin monkhood" but Buddhist...

I also heard he was not pleased with the video and wishes they are all out of circulation and is highly against them.



His motive is what I question. He puts on a show acting like he's...

I wouldn't call it a crappy workout either. I'm talking about how the McDojo sensei's will learn it from a book and teach it like crap and depending on how much SYM talks on it they'll be missing a...

I thought Shi Yan Ming was extremely against learning from books and videos. What is this all about now? It's going to be funny to see all the McDojo's with a new crappy workout routine. Way to go...

I'm willing to bet you have never been instructed on this type of stretching before and have probably just read this in a book, online or heard it from someone who read it in a book or online.

In...

The critics here just want to bash Shaolin? That's retarded. The critics here want to point out what poor teaching and training is. We weren't speaking specifically about anyone or any style....

I wasn't speaking about this particular monk and his teaching. I don't know what he teaches. I'm talking about those who say you should find your own stuff without the teacher teaching you. At least...

If I were to study a foreign language and my teacher only taught me how to pronounce words and phrases and maybe a couple sentences, I wouldn't really be learning the language. I'd need to learn what...

How are you supposed to apply them if you've only been shown what they are but not how to use them. At least in the beginners stage you should be taught that. Otherwise I'd guess the teacher doesn't...

I read the story. I wanted to know what to call it in Chinese. If you "join ten" (he shi) with joined palms, then do you "hold up five" with just one hand? :D

I read the story. I wanted to know what to call it in Chinese. If you "join ten" (he shi) with joined palms, then do you "hold up five" with just one hand? :D

Joined palms is called "he shi", lit. 'join ten' as in the ten fingers. What do you call it when in Shaolin you bow with just the right hand with the left hand beneath?

Thanks!

What I was looking for was for example, the stomp with the fist slamming into the palm represents Hui Ke and the Drum Mountain. Stepping to gong bu while blocking down with one palm and...

I have an interesting topic, I hope. I know about some mudras and positions in Shaolin forms that have Chan philosophy to them, such as the 'sleeping arhat' positions and of course whenever you bow...
