    Why do you care?

    there no reason to even care wether or not the world accepts it or not.
    Are you the author? That would explain a lot...

    What shade of red is a man's face when he discovers he has invested into lies for so long as to come to believe them and then to have them shattered by truth?

    I think it's closer to purple myself.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    basically i was pulling out all the garbage and questioning their honesty and motives with it all.

    the person i was talking to, one of the authors, said they in fact considered including an entire chapter with detailed information on their lineage. however, in the end they decided their aim was for people to focus on the practice tradition explained in the book.

    and so they decided not to include that chapter, even though to many, that would be the critical information needed to determine whether or not it would be worth it to give a care to any of the garbage in the book. then again, perhaps thats the reason for their final choice, huh?

    well Uki, I desperately need you to watch Brave Archer 2. I feel you alone would be able to penetrate it's impenetrable nonsense and explain it to the world. Just please make sure to wear your Aluminum Hat to ensure a proper broadcast.

    good, because i see no one else with balls enough for the task at hand.

    i will definitely take that as a compliment...

    i have highlighted some of the wonderful words of wisdom from such an esteemed martial artist such as yourself... kudos... you should pen down all your wise words and put a book out, might do just aswell as the shaolin grandmasters text... of course the only difference is the the fact that we will all know which idiot wrote it.

    gene responded the way he did to my post because he simply does not have any valid defense against my words. he's so critical of others percieved errors, that he has blinded himself to his own critical errors... not too shaolin i tell you.

    I have this book, its an interesting read.
    Much BS in it based on the usual crap, but some interesting POV.
    Psalms 144:1
    Praise be my Lord my Rock,
    He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

    Interesting point of view...yeah, if you are a fan of permutations of the series "Kung Fu" from the seventies starring David Carradine with it's curious mix of judaeo-christian mythos and folklore mixed up with a hodge podge of fortune cookies and misread analects. lol

    I found Meirs book to be much more well researched.
    I find the teachings of various sifu to be far more useful.

    The one by Brian kennedy and Elisabeth Guo was excellent too.
