Is Shaolin-Do for real?

[RJ797]

Not according to OTD who posted here that he learned the form in 1974. Of course OTD could be lying about that.

Sin The wrote out a list of the material taught to date in the mid-80s - no mention of Buddha Fist or Fist of the Grand Ultimate Mercy

one way (of many) to tell is the names of the forms: they sound "kung fu-ish", but are actually names you never find elsewhere in legitimate TCMA - for example, "ground dragon" is ridiculous - there is no such thing as a ground dragon in Chinese mythos - dragons fly or swim, they are celestial creatures - they don't walk / crawl on the floor - that's what snakes do (also, there is nothing in that form that characterizes dragon, but that's neither here nor there);

thank you thank you thank you. my sentiments to the T.

as for the Buddha fist set being "internal" - it's all wrong - there's nothing in that form that relates to classical 'internal' practice at all - just doing moves slowly and sticking your leg out at odd angles and holding it there and them coming into some crossed leg stances doesn't make it internal; internal practice has very specific aspects, and that form doesn't fulfill a single one;

it's fraud guys, pure and simple;

thank you thank you thank you. my sentiments to the T.

I also wonder if songshan shaolin students can recognize any linking elements between this supposedly shaolin form and the other northern styles. Apart from the name, do you think it connects in any way with the wu xing ba fa set? How does this or wu xing ba fa connect with the older shaolin styles, if they do?

you guys need to leave our lineages ALONE. period. facking thieves.

I'm not giving away some precious secret, DFW did that, I just bought the DVD.

DFW should never have put this form on video for the masses. that was HIS mistake. we were totally up in arms when he did that. still, just because someone bought the video, it doesn't give them the right to take it and absorb it into their own system and give it a fake phony bunk alternative history. i will call everyone and their momma's out on this.

and YOU put the WHOLE MOTHA FUKKIN SET ON YOUTUBE AND JUST GAVE IT AWAY. can you pls place the video on private or take it down. this is my lineages entire form and you are just giving it away to just anyone. im asking you please do this for my lineage. thank you

I know what you are referring too. I'm just repeating what OTD has said.

Did you read what Sal wrote about the form? Do you know who he is?

HSK, I thought there were two deficiencies in the video: A missing sequence, plus a false sequence, that would separate this set from the authentic one.

I thought it was on private: Only people with the link can access it. But Frank if anyone learns this form, they need to be honest with the origins and lineage.
