    You're right, but extraodianary claims aren't exclusive to SD. Unfortunately, there's been so much conjecture for so long, I don't think these stories will ever fade.

    Well I've heard of the 6th sense training (dark room, sand bags on rope etc.) but I hadn't read that book or heard that claim before. Did you buy the book MK?

    Yeah, that does seem to be a problem. But I also think those stories are like any other. Each generation hears a slightly different version, embelishes the parts they forget and so forth and so on. Then you also have instructors that do the "my dad can beat your dad up" pimping in their classes to get the students fired up about what they are learning. Its not the best way but it happens.

    Thing like that even happened to me. I was sparring with a class mate (huge mo fo) a long time ago, did some funky move, got lucky and he landed on his back flopping like a fish out of water. By the time I had heard what I "did" a week or two later, I had slaughtered the whole class. The great thing about it was that from then on, 80% of my matches were won before they started because of that rep.

    So, I can't really blame any one for a little free advertisment.

    Then you can't really blame us for thinking he's full of ****, either.

    6th sense ...hahahahaah.

    sorry.

    The purpose is not 6th sense in this type of training. It is the heightening of your other sense to a point where you are actually effectively using them.

    awareness and complete being in the moment are often obscured as a 6th sense simply because the greater majority of us have the million noises in our heads all the time and multiple external distraction.

    By shutting these down, we become hyper aware and our 5 actual senses become sharper.

    example, a blind person hears better generally.

    only one example, but you get the idea. If you lose your right arm, then your left arm will be better than either were before you lost the right arm.

    anyway. I agree, no Martial art doesn't have it's share of bull cookies. Why should Sin Thé get pizzed on any more than anyone else that makes wild claims without proof?
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    This is how I understood this training to work, and the name is a bit of a misnomer. Then again I've heard postures in our form translated to "duck flies out of heard" instead of flock, so much gets lost in the translation from time to time.

    You mean "out of herd" instead of heard? I thinking about wild geese.

    Anyway, most know about Jack LaLane swiming with his hands and feet shackled, towing boats with several people in them while in the ocean bay. From what I recall, part of Master Sin's training for the snake style was that he learned to swim with his feet and hands tied. Somehow this has changed to his pecs. I thought that MK was making that up as another one of his snide remarks. Didn't know it was on somebody's webpage.
