    Then why not give it a mercy round to the head and move on?

    So is Sin The' no longer going to be involved. Because if he stays nothing will ever change. Forms will continue to be copied, people will continue to be promoted undeservedly, and it will always be about his bank account.

    SO what exactly is the rumor, or rumors? KC, you can't say there's big news and then not say what it is. Well, you did, but that sux. JP says Mullins is possibly separating from SKT. KC implied something about legal activity with the Soards, and a change for the SD organization, which would all seem to be unrelated. Acknowledging it is only rumor at this point, why not just say it plainly? Out with it, man!

    Regardless, nothing will change; at least not globaly. When Sin The quits, dies, retires, then each faction will just become more factionalized without a common thread running among them. That will be good for some that have been trying to do things there own way and/or make the best with the material that they have been given. For other groups, they will continue to expound on the mumbo-jumbo they have been feeding their students for years with Sin The's (at least tacit) blessing.

    I'm curious as to how many new "grandmasters" will arise. This all should be quite entertaining.
    Learn more ways to preserve rather than destroy. Avoid rather than check. Check rather than hurt. Hurt rather than maim. Maim rather than kill. For all life is precious nor can any be replaced.

    As I understand it yes. But will any of them really be starting their own style. My assumption is they will still teach all of the same material, under their own name. So are they truly a grandmaster? With Mullins splitting, is he now the grandmaster of Mullins Shaolin?

    Ah well. I will just sit back and watch. See ya tomorrow!

    There are nine 8th degrees and one 9th. If the Soards split - or get thrown out - I would expect some super grand master title to pop up in Denver.

    As to the rest, only Leonard and Smith have egos big enough to make themselves grand masters - but they are the most loyal to Sin The. So, they will not be splitting.

    Of the remaining six 8th degrees I don't see Mingione or Price going anywhere.

    Grooms and Mullins both appear to be gone already. That leaves us with Green and Nance as possible defectors. Don't know much about Green - but I don't see Grooms, Mullins or Nance making themselves grand masters. They will just teach what they feel best about teaching.

    Whatever happened to Eric smith anyway? Has he went into hiding or something?

    Eric shows up at the seminars in Lexington. Probably looking for more "investors"

    It's been about 20 years since he was really training. He looks more than a little porky.

    Shame, he seemed really strong back in the day.
