Is Shaolin-Do for real?

[Ming Yue]

I suggest whomever you contact, you continue to write in title case. It's extremely impressive.

Gotcha...

This is gonna draw fire but I'm putting it out there....

On that one set, the Lau Bun Hung Sing version is the only correct way to play that particular piece of material. Not saying it can't be fast or mixed or however, but the only correct way is the Hung Sing way. Taught any other way is not the way it's intended and designed. Also trust me when I say if it wasn't learned from from a Lau Bun student or lineaged student, it's not correct in nature/form/intent. The motions may be learned & copied & even closely so, but there's pieces that can't be learned without somebody who received the correct transmission.

The book is intentionally missing pieces & no transitions are shown for precise reasons. GM DFW isn't the only person out there doing that as well in print or video format.

Shows what you know. The SD version is different because it is the ORIGINAL SHAOLIN COMBAT VERSION! Everything else is but a pale shadow of the sun source of martial arts.

Nice to know that your grandmasters have taught the forms to the best of their ablitiy to you. Whether it be in Karate,Judo, and so forth, its ashame you all missed the class on respect for other various art forms. But, you was probably at home watching Walker Texas Ranger.

He's a little rough around the edges, but he's like an onion; he has layers. You learn to love him! Well, I did at least.

here's a little quiz for you

[bodhi warrior]

I've often wondered if GMS didn't become a victim of his own advertisment of 900 forms. I think most of the stuff up through 4th or 5th black could have been learned from Master IE, but after realizing his students were going to push him to learn more and more forms he started to get them from other sources ie. books, videos, and maybe visiting other masters. Personally I like much of the stuff up through 2nd and 3rd black. But if you look at his brothers website he doesn't boast about knowing 900 forms and he at least list other teachers that he studied from. I mean, depending on how you count, I only get to about 200 up through 5th black. But really, their just forms anyway. I pick what I want to concentrate on and drill them. Do the conditioning(weight vest, strength excersises, bag work, sparring), and drill the forms over and over that you like till they become 2nd nature, and they will work. I've seen some terrible versions of ching kong fu hu chien on the internet but that doesn't make the form bad, just the training of the teacher. But that's another can of worms.

He Is The Youngest Grand Master In 1500 Years Of Shaolin History.

Wait, Shaolin has Grandmasters??? I thought they only had Disciples, Shi's and Abbotts??? Man, you learn something new each day.

Oh an incidently, Shi Yan Feng is only like 22 or 23yo.

Is The Only Person To Be Honored With Two, Yes I Said (2) Monuments At The Shaolin Temples In China. Was Wondering How Come He Is Never In Magazine, And Who Do I Need To Contact To See If They Will Feature Him In The Kung Fu/ Tai Chi Magazine.

A GM from a system I was affiliated with before has 3 monuments erected for him at Shaolin Temple. And is in every issue to IKF magazine hawking copies of manuscripts he got from Shaolin temple.

He paid for the stones to be erected. Virtually anyone can do this. You yourself could have a stele raised at the temple for the correct fee.

His claims to connection directly to Shaolin are spurious at best.

He is a kempo karate dude with a fixation on the mystical shaolin and not really the reality.

just stand back and look at it for what it is. There's the shaolin of that.

For the love of God is it really not possible to contain this to one monstrous thread that's already longer than War and Peace?
