Is Shaolin-Do for real?

[Shaolin Wookie]

By far the most entertaining thing I find is what I'll call the SD 'telephone game.'

Something like this lawsuit comes up - wild stories are told as 'official word' until someone more sane comes along and gives a much more rational POV (usually Judge Pen, who really should be official SD spokesperson as he seems like a nice guy, is smart and can parse between foolishness and reality).

Hmmm......let's see. Someone joins the art in 2005 or so, and tries to catch up on 50 years of controversy. Sorry, there's no such thing as informational spontaneity. Besides which, some of us are down here in CSC, trying to understand what happened on the other side of the country in SD, or in the Midwest.......it's all hearsay, more or less.

Parse between foolishness and reality? Some of us think reality is rather foolish. Take the Copenhagen theory of complementarity, for example......

This must be legitimate TCMA. There's asian script in the video. I bet he knows the secret handshake of a master.

This question goes out to all the SD players. Which forms in SD are your favorite and why? Example 8 drunken immortals, Hua forms, the bird forms from Master Hiang, or preying mantis, etc. I just wanted to get some opinions.

With 900 forms, its hard to pick just one! Seriously, I really like the Hua forms, but I'm not talented enough to do them justice. I love Hsing-Ie and the oft discussed 5 animal form. I love most of the weapon forms, but that's just tapping into my inner 8 year old that thinks swords and spears are cool.

"no, you s@ck" Is THAT the best you can do?

It's like "I know you are, but what am I."

Coach Ross, when did you turn into Pee Wee Herman? Waitaminnit - get back from the theatre, step away right now... put the Jergens lotion down....

In regards to the 'Holy Tiger' - no one said there wasn't cr@p CMA. In fact, on several times this point was made in this conversation. The existence of such does not remove the point that Sin The' claims to be THE Shaolin Grandmaster and teach the real deal. Over 900 forms - many of which have long proven histories - and only superficially are resembled by the SD material.

I'll tell you what, If SD starts teaching "Holy Tiger" I'll quit!
