Yeah, I think that other dude mentioned the Shaolin Legends DVD's. Essentially, there was some kind of challenge match between (I think) GGM Ie and some other martial arts master at one of their schools, and afterwards they exchanged what they thought the best techniques in their systems were. He mentions that GGM Ie used a lot of hte Ground Dragon techniques in the match. After the encounter, which ended in a stalemate, GGM Ie decided to model the short forms on those collected techniques to mark the occasion, and the focus of them became SD's controversial short-form-"snap", which basically means--hit the ****ing hell out of whatever you're throwing a punch at.

But really, if you've ever seen the Tan Tui, you'll recognize every one of the movements in the form.

However, from what I've read/seen, Tan Tui is taught in smaller sections of small movements, and isn't really a "complete" form, even though it can be strung together--which would be more like what we teach.

But I might be wrong, so if someone better informed can offer the info, better to listen to him or her.

That was not GM Ie, that was a story he told to GM Sin. It was another master who gave the short forms.

Interestingly enough Master Nance has said that upon asking GM sin the hardest technique he ever had to master, GM Sin said "kata #1"

Yes, but what I found particularly comical about that story (I like the story, though) is that it was so blatantly in contradiction to the story about GGM Ie being the ex-Shaolin monk "rover". It set up a kind of lineage with established schools, not a Shaolin renegade pimping "authentic, straight-from-the-temple Shaolin."

KC in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.......

[kwaichang]

Who Me ? OK Ill take the bait Shaolin Wookie tell us the story you heard so we /I can derive if what you heard is what I heard. You know guys I have missed about 4-6 weeks of good hard training and I have had time to do some intellectual training and soul searching. Here is my opinion.

Much like Japanese styles are influenced by geographic and social areas so was Shaolin as it came out of the Temples. This would account for the physical/flavors of SD compared to other arts from Shaolin Much like Hung Gar and CLF many teachers teach them with different emphasis based upon their indeginous (sp).? developing. Ie : Indonesia Okinawa Japan Nort / South China etc.,etc. The Okinawan martial arts are different than those developed in Japan due to the philosophical differences of the area. As far as stories go , they are just stories, not to be taken as fact 100% but as a way to transfer the "legend" of Shaolin. Of which there are many, not just from SD. BTW remember GMT is telling stories he was told by training partners GM Ie and SKTJ to GM Ie. so I am sure there will be imbellishment and changes . So tell us what you heard. I for one miss training and am trying to make the best of a situation dont worry though SW I will still cross hands with you being the compromised practioner I am at this time HAHA. KC

Yeah, I've had them, but I haven't kept them worked up. Testing during that time will focus your priorities to other things!
