    I don't think some of the people on this board would appreciate being called 'Brethren' of us. However, I heartily agree with you. It is always useful to see something different, to me.

    Wow.




    I train Shaolin-Do and Shuai Chiao. Works great for me.

    This is a philisophical choice concerning the MA's. You believe what you want about your art of choice as do we.
    Philosophy and history have little in common. Practice what you want, but at the same time, don't blindly accept everything your told just because it comes from someone you respect. Don't reject research for fear of proving your idols wrong!

    History

    I understand you don't believe our history to be accurate and or factual, but in all the pages of this list I didn't see anything refuting the post that addressed how our history fits into the appropriate time frames? It is a specific response to the specific questions that were asked. I don't have the actual post to put the link in, but if you insist, I can go get it? Some of the Anti SD group are giving us a hard time about not addressing specifics, so how about what's good for the goose is good for the gander and address this rebutal?

    History

    No, no, I'm not trying to 'here we go again'. I was under the impression that the post I'm speaking of was in response to Illusionfist. Perhaps I'm wrong, but it certainly made the case well for the history being plausable. I'm by no means a historian on this, though I can do my own research. It just seems that research was already done. What I'm asking for is a rebutal of that explaination, one that I can verify.

    Illusionfist gave you an explanation based on actual historical data he obtained from graduate-level studies. Shaolinarab gave an account based on his 6 months at an SD school. You decide which holds more water.

    I would absolutely love to. Big problem, no other reputable kung fu schools around. We have plenty of TKD though. But we always get disqualified from their tournaments. I have a huge fat guy, who think he is a pa qua master, teaching at the flea market. I think I will pass on that as well. However if I am in a big metropolitan that some of you guys are at, I would love to come by and cross hands with you. I say this genuinely ... not as in coming down there disrespectfully trying to prove something.
    themeecer actually shares a lot of the passion that Bruce Lee had about adopting techniques into your own way of 'expressing yourself.'

    Man oh man....at every local tournament around here, I always end up fighting a big Indian from a TKD school. It's never the same Indian, but he's always big, regardless.

    These days it seems we all live in the past. Whats your lineage? Who was the 1st grandmaster? who'd he learn from? WHO CARES? Don't take what people say to heart, its just opinions. If it makes you happy, then good. Regardless if its lineage is "shotty" at best. If you can defend yourself but not your art, does that not make you a Martial Artist?

    Solipsism is all fine and dandy until you start giving other people incorrect history lessons.

    I'm not for sure certain that the Holocaust happened because I wasn't there....but all the history books seem to have corraborating stories, so should I listen to the accepted history, or some neo-nazi schmuck who claims it never happened?
