Hey Drake, don't monkey beak the bazoongas!
so wait - Frank, a lineage holder in Hung Sing CLF who has done a not insignificant amount of credible research on the system, ID's the form Milk Jake is doing as basically the one demo'd in DFW's book (based on certain earmarks - be they omissions or changes in moves / sequences), right?
and Jake was a former SD student, right?
and, some stylistic changes notwithstanding (Soard vs. Mullens vs. etc. "flavor") other SD guys do essentially the same form Jake is doing, right?
SKT has an established history of taking forms from books and passing it off as material that he learned from his teacher (who, ostensibly, learned it from the Chinese version of the Shaggy D.A.), right?
and yet TTM seems to be claiming that, with no evidence to the contrary (as far as I can tell) it's just as / more plausible that the version Jake and / or SD is doing comes from another source (that is, a lineage other than Frank's grand-master) than DFW's book, right?
really?!
REALLY?!
man, that SD Kool-Aide must be some powerful stuff...
oh c'mon, now u r just trolling;
you can't just conflate names because of similarities between the various animal hand shapes - mainly because the different shapes have different usage; even crane and mantis, though looking very much alike, function differently in application; conflating these things demonstrates only one thing: ignorance on the part of the person doing the conflating;
stop being such a blatant apologist for SD - or are you trying to get noticed and hired by the Catholic Church?
lol... I never did it. But I'm at 986 too. I'm sure it's a mod fukcing with us or some other cat took my idea. Either somebody erased posts or the thread was split up.
I prolly have at least 5 pages of posts. All the same thing. "what? you're crazy? why defend a liar?"

if it's not Ameri-Do-Te, it's ALL bullsh1t...
I wanted to bump this to the top. Hadn't spent much forum time lately to read that particular thread, but I wondered that myself. Let me put some thougth into a more thorough response, but my knee jerk reaction is that it's either (1) Evidence of fabrication; or (2) at the least evidence of modification. I'm going to have an opportunity today to review a lot of my SD videos (and a few of the non-SD forms I've learned along the way) with a good friend and kung fu brother who has studied a more variety of styles than I have and who left SD before I quit training. I'll be sure to talk about this with him as well, but Sean can post his own thoughts on the subject.
I'm a bit mad now.
They have similar and different uses.
Stop your trolling....
anyone that has eyes, hands and a brain can see the similarities and the differences.
I am very well aware of the d usages...you are just putting a spin on it to make it sound like i said something wrong or incorrect, when I didnt.....
boyfirend got you sleeping on the couch again, no lovin?
