Having been a former SD student myself, I can attest to the atmosphere and dedication of many of the instructors there. Many of my friends still practice SD and they are fine martial artists. The...
Yes, I have been there twice with my Master. The Coach of the Team is one of my Masters gongfu brothers. It is an awesome show, but the first version was better.
The real reason is due to the Japanese occupation of China before the 2nd world war. There were a lot of attrocities commited against the Chinese by the Japanese. Many Chinese would consider the...
I agree as well. There are effective techniques and good fighters among the SD bunch. I think it is the claim that they are teaching Shaolin Kung Fu that is what rubs everyone the wrong way. I bought...
The first form looked like Chen, the second one at 1:27 looked like Yang.
As I was taught the history. Chang San Feng's Tai Chi was developed in the 1200's whereas Yang Style was developed in the early 1800's. Since I left SD I have been exposed to many different TCMA...
What he said about the history of Tai Chi Quan and Chang San Feng is what he was right about. I know it is a legend, however, that is how Shaolin Temple teaches it. Interesting though as he and the...

Very interesting hornets nest that has been stirred up by goju. I came across some information that I am curious about.
Hiang Kwang The is SKT's brother. He claims that ICM is his maternal...
Holy crap, I just spent the last hour typing a response to this thread and when I went to submit my reply it gave me an error message and lost the whole **** thing. Well, I don't have an hour to...
Do any of you non-Shaolin Do-kas have a cirriculum that approaches the varied content of Shaolin-Do?
Yes, it is called Song Shan Shaolin, the martial arts of the Shaolin Temple. As taught by Monks...
Here are my thoughts on the subject. There are many schools out there that claim to teach Shaolin that claim some historic connection to this temple or that one. We will wait and see what becomes of...
So then would it be safe to assume that since he called his school a karate club then surely this answers everyones question as to whether this is karate or kung fu. Seems like you have just solved...
Just one question maybe some of the SD old timers can answer for me and all.
Why do the certificates you receive after a belt test say Sin The Karate Club.
I am quoting from James Halladay's book "Shaolin-Do:Secrets from the Temple" published in 1995. And also quoting from what was taught to me by your Masters and their students in Austin. Are you...
Considering the laws or discrimination that was reflected on the Chinese in Indonesia, it stand to reason why Ie Chang Ming would alter ,modify, adapt,etc the material to be taught to his...
