I'm sure there are very good wushu teachers at shaolin. Too bad the cultural revolution slaughtered most of the good teachers and left a perminent scar on the martial arts. Shaolin was one of the best in it's day. Then the commies got ahold of it's tourist trap potential and now any school that teaches a traditional, complete style (training methods in tact) would be a better place to train. I recently read in an article that their lifestyle was grueling. Not getting fed enough is a symptom of poverty, not good martial arts.
I have lots of respect for traditional kung fu masters, I just think that most of them get the hell out of China as soon as they can. You don't see any Grandmasters outside China rushing to move back now do you?
I think we should trade China David Caradine and transport the Shaolin Temple to somewhere in the Appalatians. Better yet..the Vatican.
