Loads and loads of videos and DVDs for sale, although the Stone Warrior looks a bit expensive at $100.

Just found this on Amazon. Is this the famous Stone Warrior program that was written about so much by John Allen and Gene Chicoine of Green Dragon Studios?
...

Thanks for confirming that.

I must admit, I am rather disappointed in the Green Dragon people for doing that.

This has nothing to do with credentials or ability or strength or anything like...

What is the truth behind why Green Dragon's column was dropped from Inside Kung Fu?

When it happened, the editor claimed that it was merely the result or reorganising or format change.

However,...

Hi cjurakpt

I quite like your definition of qi as a "descriptive metaphor for a set of functional interelationships in the body."

Makes a lot of sense and cuts through a lot of the mysticism.

I remember that photograph. It's the one where Allen still has a beard, right?

I'll see if I can dig one out of my old magazines.

I recall that in the ad that went with that photo, it said...

Is it really John Allen? :confused:

Would you be able to scan and post some of these articles? I'll be happy to do the same. I also have the one from 1992 that you mentioned which has the White Lotus Tiger Paws. (It's that weapons with...

Found this Green Dragon demo on another forum

Just seen parts of them, and that was quite some time ago.
I do remember being impressed with Allen's public speaking ability.

I have Feb 88 which is the Iron Palm article by Chicoine and Allen....

No I didn't. What was the issue and year? I'll try and track it down.

Was there any one person at Green Dragon that was learning such a wide variety of styles? Or did students have to choose and specialise in a smaller number of styles as they progressed?

Was John...

Does anyone have a list of exactly which Inside Kung Fu issues had articles in them by Choicoine and/or Allen?

I know they had a bi-monthly column in IKF that ran between (I think) 1990 and 92....

Just how did Green Dragon get such a high profile and mystique abou them in the 80s/90s? Was it just very good marketing? Was it because of their association with Inside Kung Fu magazine? They seemed...

As I've said elsewhere, I really enjoyed the articles that Allen wrote for Inside Kung Fu. But I must confess that I thought their uniforms were a bit outlandish. I remember seeing Allen and his top...

Strange that Robert W. Smith doesn't really same to rate Chang Tung Sheng as highly as Choicoine and Allen do. In Smith's book Chinese Boxing: Masters and Methods he doesn't seem to think all that...

Found this on another forum (3rd post from bottom)

I always wondered what this "core group" was that John...

On one of the Green Dragon tapes which is a Q&A session, Allen freely admits that he left due to disputes with Ong and jokingly refers to himself as a maverick! He did make clear later that he had...

That's brilliant! probably one of the best sayings I've heard.

Why were Chicoine and Allen told to leave?

I also noticed that these two --especially Chicoine -- don't seem to mention Feemon Ong by name in their writings.

Chicoine only seems to refer to...
