Wow what a big disappointment. I wonder in the end what happened.
Thanks Gene. I saw that today as well. Unbelievable that they would drop this 20 some days out. Last time there was more notice which gave people a chance to plan accordingly. Not sure if I will be...
So confused, I emailed and no one ever replied. The only thing I know of is the Shaolin In My Heart show. As far as the festival and a tournament are concerned I can find nothing.
Maybe, I have been waiting for this announcement for a while. However, I just shot them an email to clarify whether the tournament is open to all Shaolin students or just the STCC's, because the only...
Yeah, but they are the same rumors. So CNN did a little blurb on their website about it, no big deal, it never made the 24 hour T.V. news cycle. Like I said, every two or three years these same...
Nothing new here, these same accusations seem to be made every couple of years or so.
I have always had this theory that Shaolin actually derived from Kalaripayatu.
Of course I will, how could I turn down an offer like that. I think Xingying will be going too, we talked about it Sunday. You got a Twin Peaks out there? :D I sure wish they would do these festivals...
Thanks Gene, I looked for the info on the festival but could not find a website or a way for my students to register for it. Do you have any website or registration information? More than likely I...
So the second Shaolin Temple Cultural Festival is supposed to be happening in October in San Francisco as announced by the Shaolin Temple. I cannot find any information on this on the websites of...
When I am there, inside the gates, I see the schools, particularly the Monks schools in Wang Zi Gou, practice San Da, including sparring every day. Also the monks from the Temple often do it in the...
Probably not since they claim a southern style of Shaolin called Hood Khar Pai which I have never heard of before.
Unfortunately this is not an isolated case. Seems like this has been going on since Songshan Shaolin first came to our shores.
The heat did not really bother me, my bodies sweat did the job it was supposed to by keeping me drenched so any breeze was a cool breeze. Hell it is hot here in Texas so it is something I am used to....
No, unfortunately that did not start till this month. We left at the beginning of June, next time though.
With your question in mind I decided to ask the four friendliest kids I have met. They all said that they loved being here, they agreed the training was hard but they liked it. They felt that it made...
My Master in the U.S. is Shi Xingying, here at Shaolin it is his kung fu brother Shi Yanwen.
The last time I used a public toilet at Shaolin was the last time I used a public toilet at Shaolin. I have not been to the orphanage so I can't speak to that, I am sure it is much nicer but it is...
Yeah, it is unfortunate but you have to admire the fortitude of this kid. And the fact that despite what he was enduring, he still had it within himself to smile at me. It was a very touching moment....
I don't know the exact figures, I am sure it is a lot. I see the bus loads of tourists that come here. Now that the Temple has subsidiary Temples elsewhere in China, I am sure a lot of that money...
[QUOTE=breeze;1235295] The orphanate looks deplorable and unhealthy in the video. What is better? Sigh that the temple just doesn't help and turn your back on this or just do and give a positive...
Well Gene,
I guess Shaolin had to come out of the stone age. Most of the monks have Iphones which they are very proud of. The shami's can also figure out how to use an Ipad very quickly if there...
Hi all,
I have not been very active in the forums in a while but since I have had some free time between training sessions thought I would drop in and say hello. In some ways this has been the...
Hey everyone,
Haven't been here in a while. I have seen this show, twice, at different times I was at Shaolin, and the scale of it is quite amazing, nothing like it compares in the U.S. It is a...
Well I can tell you Iron Vulva is not something you want face in the heat of battle.
Huh, huh,.....huh,huh..... Uh, he said vulva. Huh,huh....huh,huh, Thats cool.
