    So what do you think? I personally dont care about shaolin-do and if it is real or not but it seems like it is the hot topic at the moment.

    "could not play the video stream. no suitable decompressor could be found."

    Other than that, pretty good stuff.

    They work for me. Here is the homepage, just go to video clips then forms clips, then look at the bottom for sparring clips.

    Personally, I'm tired of this dead horse. But these things come in cycles.

    Anyway, the sparring clip of the two girls was infinatley better than "Ba Gua" fighter a couple of weeks ago. The brunette kept he hands up and covered very well.

    I think it's just this stupid university computer doesn't have the latest software, and of course users aren't able to install anything.

    You need DIVX to watch them correctly. These are the same videos we discussed last week from www.shaolincenter.com

    Judge,
    I thought so as well. But, like alot of kung fu clips...i dont see much power in thier techniques. Am i the only one that thinks kung fu without power is like a ferrari without gas? Sure, you can sit in it and look cool, but you cant go anywhere or do anything with it.

    And yes, dead smelly rotten horse this one is. I just thought the shaolin-do guys here were starting to feel bad and these clips are better than alot of neophyte "kung fu" sparring clips posted lately. Expecially those "wing chun" sparring clips. God, those are like martial arts cinematic vomit.

    It's easy to look good when you know you aren't going to get hit. Besides, the other girl drops her hands every time she kicks, which is an invitation for a nose job.

    Well, I guess you can't really apply full force when sparring without gloves and other protection, unless you wanna hurt someone.

    I thought that this thread started out as a troll. As for power you are right. It's the gas to a car. They weren't generating a lot of power there. They also were not trying to hit one seriouly another. It looked like an example of light sparring with one girl clearly showing solid foundations and another girl not.
