I mistakenly thought that it was common knowledge at this point that The Shaolin Temple itself is just a facade.
The traditional Shaolin cultural heritage is still practiced, just usually not in the temple itself.

Right, because I fully intend to "create" a hybrid BJJ, Silat, SD, Capoeira form, and then market the thing as "shaolin." Hundred bucks says you didn't read the post. Or wait, let me bring that down to 20 cents, since you're less than a two-bit troll.
So you agree, cool.
Um.....it's regulated by the government, overseen by its ministers, and the government basically runs the whole charade.
And this means it's capitalist?
Methinks you don't know the difference between socialism and capitalism. I think you wanted the term "shallow commercialism," which is often the result of government attempts to mimic capitalism, since government enterprises always run a deficit and burueacrats get desperate for cash....and quick.
So they start selling business licenses en masse, erecting cheap housing, holding down rents (which discourages new building, since profits are limited), and basically exploiting the area. Right....that's capitalism, because everyone tries to invest in depreciating properties....L O ****ing L. If the government is involved, don't be surprised when the flies start to surround it's "produce." Hence the 1000 MA schools in the neighboring city--Dengfeng or whatever it is.
The best heritage sites in the US are privately owned. It's the government-run ventures that have ticket booths, refreshment stands, and 1000 handicap access toilets every 100 yards (to comply with other regulations, you see).
Cool, again we agree. "Shaolin" is a facade, and its residency in a place of martial arts authority (granted by a government bureau) does not make it authentic. I'm not saying SD is authentic. I'm saying the name "shaolin" doesn't mean much anymore, since Shaolin temple teaches basically everything.....including "shaolin groundfighting." LOL. It's a term that's as generic as "kung fu," and if it denotes anything, it's that the martial artist doing "shaolin" is wearing an orange jumpsuit.
So what is "shaolin" nowadays?

That's actually pretty good...and it's a ton of fun. We do the same thing in jiujitsu, we just don't stop when grounded. I notice that shuai jiao practitioners differ only from BJJ in that they often use their hands to control one knee. Hey.....we do that in SD, too.
I've never understood this about SJ, though....why do you guys go through so much trouble to bend over and try to pick someone up when you can shoot for singles and doubles from your knee and utilize leverage? Even in Harimau (silat), they shoot from a single knee and use an elbow on the hip or knee to leverage the opponent, controlling his other foot with a hand.
I run similar drills when I volunteer to teach lower belt SD classes. WAlk up, throw a combo. Defender dodges, counters, and sweeps. Attacker tries to resist. The best way to utilize our short forms, fronts sweeps, backsweeps, chinna, and throws--the core curriculum. Nothing fancy, just results. And then they have a bit to wrestle--no punches and kicks, so they can focus on chinna.

Is there a rule in Shuai Jiao that you can't throw a rear naked choke or go to your knee for the takedown? Just wondering.
worst looking Shuai Jao I have ever witnessed sorry it took me so long to get back I was throwing up. as far as Goju I had intended to get there But I am on the east side and he is in Denver I think , hey only 1500 miles " in the Neighborhood sure". KC BTW Sarcasm ever heard of it as far as skill is concerned,.
A Fool is Born every Day !
Shuai Jiao predates Judo by, oh, I don't know, several thousand years.
Dropping to a knee will cost you a point.
There is one exception that I know of but it isn't related to any bao tui techniques. In the case of Xiao De He (similar to Judo's Kouchi Gari) you're allowed to drop to a knee without losing a point.
Headlocks are ok but you're not allowed to grab your other hand or arm to lock it in.
Don't mind KC, not that you would anyways. That was a video of a classroom drill. SJ isn't "pretty" because opponents resist, which makes it difficult. Even with resistance, though, I could see your techniques (whichver one of the fugly guys you were). It was actually a good video of what is probably an average class that showed the skills of your teacher and your classmates in a drill setting.
Much respect.
What style of kung fu do you do outside of SJ, if you decide to post a vid?
