Is Shaolin-Do for real?

[brucereiter]

I was very impressed with the seminar I had taken from him 4 years ago.

me too! that was a great learning experience ...

Thanks for the input. I'll probably get it. It's nice to see some SD guys put out some good quality stuff. Can you imagine if Eric Smith put out something? Now that would be a good video!

[naja]

I was wondering about that video myself. I've heard good things about him, but the videos on that sight seem a little, well, cheesy. I was hoping that they would be better than they appeared.

I don't mean to de-rail the topic but ShaolinWookie, how are the kip ups going? Got it down? Have you tried the no hand kip ups like I had mentioned?

It's actually funny. Some days I can do them no problem (with hands), and then other days I can only get to my feet and then fall back down. I can't figure out what in the hell I'm doing wrong when I'm doing it wrong, and what I'm doing right when I'm doing it right.

It's an instructional video, not a full contact cage match....lol...so there is restraint. I can tell you this: I hear that of all you can learn from MAster Nance, his greatest lessons are in very practical sparring techniques and applications, and that he's a wizard at sweeping. Personally, I think his fist looks like a sledge hammer, but then there's a couple of guys in SD that by size and shape alone (Mullins, Nance, Reid, GM The' of course) that I wouldn't want to cross for a billion dollars. Those guys are built like freight trains.

One of the sparring "dummies" (just kiddin') is one of my sifus. He's pretty innovative and can pick you apart with his boxing alone.

It'll probably be a pretty sweet tutorial.

Although the guy at Jing Mo said that he thought Jeet Kuen came from Mizhong, a senior of his mentitoned that it came from Erlang Quan.

All in all, the basic conclusion is: Longfist. It's all the same. Differentt patterns.

Big whoop. But it's definately not tiger.

KFJ & KC
I believe the correct name is:
Hsing Ie Panh Lung Chièn
Hsing Ie Entwine of the Dragon Sword

Just my 2¢
OTD

i remember sin the saying it was "xin" yi not "xing" yi. my chinese is bad but that is a slightly different art than "xingyiquan/hsingichuan ...

[kungfujunky]

otd thx for the correction...and actually bruce in hearing the history/background he said it was xin but then was changed to xing.....

i was unclear why the change as i was exhausted after learning the form and was only half present haha

great form with some excellent footwork!

I hope everyone is doing well today. I have read and studied info found along this thread as well as many others found in the Kung Fu Magazine Forums. I have always found this particular thread fascinating. Recently, it appears this thread has a greater concentration on technique and discussions related to the actual practice of kung fu. I hope this continues. When I first read through this thread, I saw mostly individuals being hateful and egotistical. Now that comment does not include those that were being humorous in good fun about some of the question marks behind Shaolin Do. Hopefully, good discussions on technique, history, and self discovery with the help of others will continue. I'm looking forward to it and hope that I am welcomed.
