Hi NorthernShaolin,
We as well, have a Shaolin

[GeneChing]

On a cursory examination, your lyrics seem to map onto our version pretty well. It's funny that our forum censors ****. I suppose I could turn that off if I really wanted too, but most people can figure it out and there's so much obscenity on the net...
tryin' to run a family show here, ya know

Anyways, I would love to hear what history you have too.

[NorthernShaolin]

Gene,

I should have caught those **** before I pressed submit. Anyway, the **** is the term for a male Chicken that starts with the letter C.

R.,

It would be interesting if the sets were similar. As for a description of the move you mention I like to bow out to Gene since this is his favorite saber set and he better in putting it to words. Judging from the past posting, I'm not good in describing moves.

As for the history, I do not know much about it except that our set came from one of the Five Tiger from the North who went South, Wan Li Sheng. He learnt this style from Tu Hsin Wu, who was at one time regarded as one of China's top fighter in the 1800's.

I just found them digging around some old files. Here is our version. It looks similar enough to be from the same Chinese character set, just differences in translation.
