Is Shaolin-Do for real?

[Judge Pen]

if i clowned the dead guy himself, i'd apologize. but i'm clowning you LIVING GI WEARERS

If? Still can't own up? If your sifu's wife asked you to be the ass end of a lion at his funeral, would you do it? If she asked you to play the Buddha would you do it? Of course. We trained in gis then. We all know that isn't correct, but we did it. And we wore our uniforms to be the pallbearer at his widow's request. For you to rip that, is disrectful. Don't take me pointing out that as crying. I expected as much when I posted it, I just was curious as to who would be respectful and who would be an ass.

of course i wold you DUMB FUK. but I would never be in the position of being in a karate school wearing gi's and pretending to be kung fu.

if you schools didn't wear karate gi's i wouldn't be mad if you guys wore KUNG FU uniforms. but since your schools is primarily karate based, i wouldn't expect you to understand traditional kung fu.

But the lineage is irrelevant in this context. At that time, 20 years agoI didn't care whether it was Karate of Kung Fu. We didn't discuss lineage. We just trained. So for you to use my teacher's funeral to make a point that has not only been made ad nausem but one I readily admit is just stupid. Really.

If you grew up in a rural town in Virginia without the internet and youtube and without the martial arts mecca that is the Bay area, then you would chose an art based on the quality of the teacher and not the lineage. You are holding the people in that photograph to a standard that exists 20 years later. If I lived and grew up where you did, then I probably wouldn't have picked that art, but we can't chose our parents and we can't change where we grew up can we?

uh, actually, we DO pick our parents and the lives we live regardless of good or bad. but thats deeper than you might be able to fathom

I never had the opportunity to meet Judge Pen's teacher either. But I have met Judge Pen, and if he says his teacher was a good man then he was a good man. I am surprised at his patience with you, hskwarrior. I wish I shared that ability. I do not. Personally, if I ever did meet you I would want to beat you within an inch of your life. I would have felt the same way had someone spoke the same way about your teacher's memorial. You have shown you lack any semblance of class and brought dishonor to yourself and to your teacher. I bet he would be very proud to know how his student chooses to carry himself.

[MasterKiller]

It was at the request of his widow.

In that case, my apologies.

You make an excellet point: Had anyone punked Frank's teacher the same way, I would have been first in line to defend him too. I hope that I can make my teacher proud. I stayed in SD for a lot longer than I would have otherwise because of his memory and because I found more good teachers.

[bawang]

How many people on here would be afraid of any of these guys?

LOL

are they srs

Accepted. No worries.

Really anytime before 2000 there was such little information available in the West, unless you lived in a metro area with a China Town district you wouldn't have anything to go on...lineage or history wise...that's the reality.

I don't see what's so hard about showing a little class....

now thats comedy. i bet if you came out here lookin for me, you'd have a very different story to tell. trust or don't trust. if you're that bad, im in SF man. i call your bluff.

Again Frank you underestimate my abilty. Your biological parents will always be your biological parents, but you can pick who you consider family. My first teacher was family. If you have respect for that, then you can understand my sentiments toward your reaction. I suspect that you would have reacted even stronger if the roles were reversed.

It's a choice to show class. It's easier to just be reactionary. I've deleted many posts that were reactionary because I know better.

see. you have failed to comprehend what i was saying because you're not meant to understand it yet. one day maybe. maybe not.

but you can pick who you consider family.

thats not what im saying.

If you have respect for that, then you can understand my sentiments toward your reaction.

i do. i'm just not revealing that to you. but if indeed it was requested. my bad. but i still think its funny.

I suspect that you would have reacted even stronger if the roles were reversed.

that is your supposition. since you don't really know me personally, you don't know how i'd react. one thing MY sifu always taught me was words are just words. and unless someone is trying to actually harm you physically, don't let words affect me mental state.

frank is angry because after all this , you guys still have love and affection for sin the; the lies about shaolin doesnt really matter to you, shaolin is such a fairy tale concept , so foreign and meaningless to you that the exposure of sin thes lies barely impacted you.

it doesnt effect you and your world. shaolin kung fu is meaningless to you.
