Is Shaolin-Do for real?

[wenshu]

Why can't I call it shaolin? It has elements of shaolin in it, after all--whether you take my SD or my Northern Longfist with it.

"Shaolin" is as generic as "karate" these days. WTF isn't shaolin? I found a video the other day offering "shaolin groundfighting." LOL. Seems to me like "shaolin" is the mob. Everything is in its "protection" racket.

You guys want to ride the coattails of Shaolin but don't want to make the effort to actually learn anything about Chinese geography, history and traditional culture.

"Oh it was all made up at one point so I can just call it whatever I want."

No. This isn't Austrian School economics; you can't just make it up as you go along.

Kung fu styles are regional. Shaolin has more in common with TaiJi (they are both from Henan) than it does with TangLang(Shandong). Of course they share common features just like all Chinese gong fu does, but to cast Shaolin as an umbrella over every Northern practice just so you can justify calling your bastardized kata/forms practice "Shaolin" is rank intellectual laziness in service of equivocation.

I taught Tang Lang for 2 years for SD, I trained in 7 star for 10 years, The Tang Lang Chien form is in my opinion a White Crane form Mantasized , why I do not know as they have a complete Tang Lang System with springy leg , Jade ring and all that goes with it. also 2 man techniques. So dont ask me what it is other than a good aerobic w/o. KC

There is a saying all MA come from Shaolin therefore it is Shaolin. Just not the Shaolin you are accustomed to . KC

[kwaichang]

Its a saying as I said, But you said it better as many were absorbed into the temple thank you for verifying what I was taught as history in SD. KC

LMAO. no you wouldn't.

One question:

[hskwarrior]

I'm actually pretty familiar with Northern Shaolin. So which school of Northern Shaolin is it the standard in? KYC Buk Siu Lum? Nanjing Kuoshou Curriculum? Songshan?

Inquiring minds want to know!

many styles were absorbed into shaolin. yours was not.

[Shaolindynasty]

There is a difference between "made up" forms and forms developed through experience with sound principles in mind.
