I go away for nearly a year while I get married and move back to Canada and stuff and this thread is still on the first page of the Shaolin Kung Fu forum! Give it kudos for longevity.

And yet if you step far outside of those works you enter into the realm of Taoism - the religion. Even Zhuangzi is replete with mysticism. Since you claim to regect the religious elements of Taoism...

I've met with several Shaolin monks but I'm **** sure I'm not a high mucketymuck lineage holder.

Come on down to China. There are all sorts of Taoist temples replete with Taoist gods and Taoist priests who would be happy to disillusion you. Taoism is a complex religion. It's not just "trying...

Is Mega Fist back again?

We are trying to get it up to 100 pages. Thanks for helping. :D

From what you are saying I'd be at a black belt level in SD. If I believed in Belts (I don't) that would be kind of nifty. ;)

Still I don't really feel like "registering my hands as a deadly...

Ayah! If I were in Shaolin Do I'd be doing Black Belt material. What about Jian training when do they start that? And do they teach Iron Thread at all? Those were the three things I was working...

Actually, yeah, Fu Jow was pretty good too but Azn Grlz was just so fitting to my weekend. As I got in no fights Fu Jow was not so. ;)

Tell you what; next time I need to break a blokes arm I'll...

Hell yeah man! Take a peek at my blog thread. I was listening to that song a lot on the busride home. :DLink to my blog thread.

Ok, how do I get a copy. I have no credit card and I guess it's not a free dl, just a stream. :eek:

AZN GRLZ is totally going straight onto my MP3 player! That was definately worth the 1 minute dl man.

It's similar enough in outward appearance to the first section of Tiger and Crane as taught at my Kwoon in Canada to be recognizeable but, I agree, it was like the bloke knew no application at all. ...

That was really ugly.



That was supposed to be Ba Gua? Ok, I don't practice the art myself but I've seen it performed enough times to know it doesn't look like that!!! Eurgh!


My...

That (plus a sash) was the uniform at my old school... Of course substitute the NBDMA logo but you get my drift. ;)

I miss the guys at the Kwoon sometimes. Dave Kim, my favorite old sparring...

One thing I like about doing Gong Fu at a college. There ain't no uniform at all. The closest thing to it is that a lot of us wear adidas track pants. What can I say? They are well made and not...

Octagonal Raven: I've seen MMA/RBSD/"Dark Arts" Masters I could wipe the floor with and I've seen Gong Fu masters who come from law enforcement backgrounds, have HAD to use martial arts in self...

I don't even have an opinion on SD (having nothing to go by but this endless argument) and I like to pop by occasionally - even if just to curse the madness of the thread that wouldn't die! :p :D

88 pages! Over 1300 posts!

This is the mother of all threads!

Christ on a crutch!

Buddha on the bottom of my shoe!

Holy fooking sh!t!

Yeah, what the header says.

Come on, the SD guys and the anti-SD guys aren't going to budge from their postions and those of us who couldn't give a flying fu<k about SD would rather talk about...

I have done candle punching; it's much easier with an open hand.

Some forms of buddhism do refer to the existence of "pure lands" where individuals can go on a fast track to enlightenment in a future life. These are similar to - but different - from heaven. They...

I'm a Buddhist.

Buddhism is my religion.

The Lord Buddha is not a god.

There is no heaven or hell.

People who say that Buddhism is not a religion have a shallow understanding of either...
