I just got back to reading the thread after being away for some time. I must admit it was a painful experience. I'm assuming most of your know why. It did open up a number of questions for me...

Goju's technique looks good, but I wish he would move on in regards to commenting on kung fu. He practices goju ryu, which is a very respectable style. If he wishes to continue his studies of CMA,...

I removed myself from SD around a month ago and wanted to make some observations to see if my experiences were the norm or unusual with SD schools. I do not want this to become a slamfest though...

Do you think James Brown used the splits in the 50s as a self defense application? :) I just can't see where it could be used for application in a real fight or attack. As far as flexibility in warm...

Maybe SD has just copyrighted the name and its use, but it does seem that they have referred to specifically the material. It is a bit odd. A lot of the forms have been taught in other systems and...

It is good to see someone take responsibility for their actions, whatever they may be. The hardest thing for someone to do is to forgive themselves. Please forgive yourself if you have not yet and...

I have been training in little over a year in SD. I researched a number of other systems and schools, and the local SD school best fit my schedule. I also liked the fact that the internal arts were...

Okay, let me see if I can generate further conversation. Looking at other SD schools across the country, I notice that some schools require internal arts as well as external arts for individual rank...

Any comments out there on Lo Han Chien? I really like the way it incorporates the I Ching breathing at the beginning and end. It reminds me of some of the Hung Gar forms I have learned previous to...

I like to train in jogging pants or shorts and a T shirt. I usually do my forms before or after running a few miles. I will change from my running shoes to traditional martial arts shoes. When...

I train in Tennessee. I have also trained in KY primarily through seminars with Master Seng Au from Hawaii.

It was not my intention to imply that SD was superior in any way to other systems or styles. I believe true kung fu training should include the internal arts. SD provides that training and I...

This thread has been going on for a number of years. I believe we all agree that Shaolin Do is real. It exists. It is a martial arts system/style that is very effective and successful overall. ...

It seems that Mark has gotten everybody fired up again. That's unfortunate. I currently study SD and enjoy it. I looked at all the CMA schools available to me and Shaolin Do was the best fit. As...

I stretch nearly every day. When I am not kung fu training, I run three time a week. I have adjusted my stretching routine when I run, and I am considering doing so in relation to my kung fu...

It's great just to hear fellow martial artists talk about the importance of internal training. You won't find that conversation in most karate or Take Your Do schools. Internal arts is one of the...

I really enjoyed your insights and views. Thank you. I have always been able to take something from a seminar even if it was only one technique for application I could use in the future. I went to...

Has anyone been to a seminar or seminars by Sin The? Is so, what are the reviews? I have been to seminars by other teachers and they are sort of hit or miss. Most of the ones I have been to do not...

I hope everyone is doing well today. I have read and studied info found along this thread as well as many others found in the Kung Fu Magazine Forums. I have always found this particular thread...
