Is Shaolin-Do for real?

[Braden]

Seriously guys... I didn't read through this whole ridiculous thread, so I'm sure I missed something.

But is this still gonna happen?

If so, anyone taking bets? ;)

[Sharky]

if you don't film it, you are all really stupid.

reemul, he has 15 years experience, how much do you have?

I agree with everything fu pow has said.

[reemul]

The main writer/director of an inde film we were involved with has agreed to film it.

Would it really be interesting to watch? I just don't see it. I checked out Lexington's SD school when I was out there, and I wasn't impressed. I've seen worse, hell, I've even practiced with worse(years ago), but still, not a group that should take on temple monks. Even if the monks know modern wushu, that's not all they know, and anyone who deludes themselves into thinking that the temple would challenge using anything but a fighting monk is only setting themselves up for a beating.

PRC says "Destroy the SD fighter or else!"

Sin The says "Destroy the monk with your traditional Tae Kwon Do...er...traditional shaolin kung fu! No really! You can do it! Iron head, schmiron Head! Remember, we've got a plaque, over there! Does HE have a plaque over there, NO! I'll bet he doesn't have half as many schools as me."

4 seconds entertainment tops. Seems like a waste of time really. The Shaolin temple should leave lame American schools to the good American schools. Aren't there any mcdojos in China?

I have to admit the monks(any of them) are so fast and powerful. It really is foolish to think any of us mere mortals could defeat them.lol Any one who thinks that has never seen them do anything in real life. If they did, and they still thought that they would have a chance, humbling themselves is in order. It would just be more of a question of how many micro seconds it would take to beat any of us. These guys can kick and punch for hours with tons of energy. How can any of us match that unless we trained hard for twenty years. Oh and started when we were 6. :D

What is Shaolin-Do? Is this a real Chinese martial art? It looks like Karate with a few kung-fu moves.

[Radhnoti]

A karate guy looks at SD and says, "Look, it's kung-fu." A kung-fu guy looks at SD and says, "Look, it's karate." Kempo guys look at SD and say, "Hey, I recognize a lot of that...but it's not my kempo."
If I'm not mistaken, Shaolin-do is nothing like the Shaolin practiced by anyone else on the board. If you're just looking to classify it you could throw it under the category of kempo-ish and I don't think you'd be wrong. Feel free to PM me if you want any other info about SD.

This subject has been buried for a good long time around here, I hope things can stay civil. But, if not, I guess I'm ready to go.

Shaolin-Do, watch out for this one, as there have been many a war of words over this MA. It is somewhere in between Shaolin Kempo and Karate (from what I have seen). Just watch out, I have been ehem....told that it is the only true Shaolin, which by the way is the ****hest thing from the truth. But I am not an expert, so take that for what it is.

[yutyeesam]

I didn't realize this was a pandora's box topic. I don't want to start a flaming thread. What is the history of this art? Wouldn't that tell it all?

go to "other martial arts"
There you will find a few threads on Shaolin-do, or as some refer to it......shaolin d'oh

[Radhnoti]

Or you could do a search for it on this forum.
It'd be better than dredging up all the hostility.
Unless that's what you're looking for?

You wouldn't be the first.

[GeneChing]

We've been down this road before. Just check our archives. I'd prefer not to go down it again, but we probably will.

Gene, didn't Hendrix say that first? I could be wrong...

[yutyeesam]

Okay, okay I'll do a search on this myself. Let's kill this thread. Please, no trouble. I had no idea my inquiry was the potential for war. Peace, everyone.

Gene, maybe you can remove this thread, I honestly want no trouble.
