    will I stop fokking with the SDers?.........

    I must go and seek direction from the white eyebrow council, high upon hua mountain, before giving you my answer.

    it looks doubtful though. why don't you SDers just commit mass suicide? that would be totally sweet.

    In this thread it is, but you created the SD techniques thread and then bashed the meecers approach to ground fighting. Another thread was created regarding SD practitioners techniques in specific situations. Have you read that thread? What of my post there? I find my techniques to be very effective and useful in my experiences.

    GDA, he saw the light. Now, he's known as Meat Shake. Check his profile...no SD listed.

    The light or his bank account? His SC class doesn't charge, but his SD class did charge for lessons.

    I'm not going to expose anything unless he wants to do it himself, but he's taking classes from a well-respected person outside of his SC classes.

    Ok, if we can get guys like Serpent, Fu-Pow, Fred Sanford,MK, etc. etc. etc. etc. and the rest of the people in my system, I HOPE DEARLY that we can just leave this to rest. Just let us live in peace and more than likely we'll all end up being friends. We could learn so much from each other if we just shut up and stopped trying to get on each other's nerves like 7 year olds. Grow up and grow some balls guys. This is getting ridiculous and it's got me ****ed off that we're wasting time even posting on such ludicris debates. We all know by now that NO MATTER WHAT WE DO WE WILL NEVER PERSUADE EACH OTHER. Instead of making matters worse lets just do what this forum was created for and share our knowledge and experiences with one another.


    God I hope this works. I'm sick of arguing with people. It's the BIGGEST WAIST OF TIME AND ENERGY ANYONE HAS EVER DONE!!!!!!!!!

    In the immortal words of just about every body, "I mean, come on."
    Here's my thing: I haven't got a problem with Shaolin-Do. Actually, that's not true. I haven't got a problem with you guys. Falsified histories, I have a problem with. But whatever. That's my problem. Not yours.

    But if you're trying to "leave this to rest", "live in peace", and "end up being friends", perhaps telling your detractors to "grow up and grow some balls" isn't really the olive branch you were looking for to start the process.

    In that sense, yes, this was a feeble effort.

    Tell them to knock it off with the fake history, and start worrying about practicing good martial arts and they will get my respect.

    Your smarmy host has arrived...

    Need to up my post count so I can use an avatar and sig under the name d@mnit... Bah. Lost my massive post count.
    I left for a couple reasons. Anyone interested can PM me. A lot of the SDers do practice as hard as anyone else, so that argument isnt really relevant. R5, you dont even know the one true, Ving Chun™©, so you are wrong by default.
    Notice that I not only have it trademarked, but copywrited. Fear me.

    The history isn't going anywhere. No one in the system is going to advocate a change. Like it or not, SD is stuck with it.

    I don't worry about history too much. I have my opinions, many of which I have expressed here, but I try to focus on training and being a good martial artist. Most good martial artists in SD do the same.

    ...I would love it if we were to drop the "shaolin" from the name, maybe the "do" while we're at it. I'll bet GM Sin wouldn't care either. It could even be worked into an "honoring the GM" sort of thing. The' family fist?
    It not like I feel any sort of connection to today's shaolin temple anyway. It'll never happen, but approached properly it could be a good thing for our system, I think.
    Keep it simple, stupid.
