That's always been my take on GMT's decision as well. Kung fu didn't become popular until a certain Chinese man playing a comic book hero's chauffer on t.v., was discovered in the 1960's. Also the fact that while Chinese immigrants did know and practice kung fu, they kept it a secret and only taught to other Chinese in their community (I'm referring to San Francisco's Chinatown).
Knowing that, I don't fault GMT for claiming Grandmastership of Shaolin back then, in all actuality, he did it for the love of Shaolin. Give the guy a break.
