Thread: Is Shaolin-Do for real?

    Hmmmm. Did I ask an embarassing question for you SD guys, or do you just not have any idea of the answer?

    Ever notice how virtually everyone agrees that 95% of all traditional schools are crap, but NOBODY ever admits to being in that 5%? Don't judge... your skill may suck also...

    Yes, that much is obvious. Which is why I'm asking for the less obvious answer of where DID he learn it from? I know who MY instructors learned it from, and who THEIR instructor learned it from (our school teaches Northern Shaolin, Hsing-I, Tai Chi & Bagua). Who did Sin learn it from?

    I would guess both. Unless, of course maybe Sin The taught that form to Cheng Man Ching. Anything is possible right?

    I think we are talking about two different tai chi forms. I have no idea where either was taught, but I know that Sin the was teaching 64 (or 37 or whatever) llong before he taugth 24. No one is claiming that he taugth it to CMC.

    Well the Tai Chi 24 form is the modern Wushu short-form based on Yang style which was created by a Wushu committee in the....50s, I think. The 64/ 37 form (37 postures, several of them repeated, for a total of 64) was created by Cheng Man Ching in Taiwan (don't recall the specific date).

    I'm just wondering how they got into the SD curriculum. They've been available through books for decades. I suspect that's where Sin learned them.

    Go away for a while, come back and there's another huge SD thread. Some things never change

    That's fine ... I can link the postures .. I can show you if you need to know.

    Thanks but that's ok.

    When I play Taiji, I'm working on the Yang 108.

    " the famous Yang Cheng-Fu (1883-1936) who is also known as Yang Chao-Chin. The
    Yang style really gained widespread popularity because of the teaching of
    Yang Cheng-Fu, the family members teaching in southern China, Hong Kong and
    Taiwan, and the many fine students of Yang Cheng-Fu."

    "Cheng Man-ch'ing Chronology -1938 Created the 37 Posture Short Form while in Hunan

    So it looks like Yang style was being taught throughout southern China early on. It is even concievable that one of Master Sin's teachers or collegues picked it up during that time and didn't have to wait till it came out in "paperback".

    Also just watched a chip of CMC's short form and while most of the moves are close, there are a lot of differences.

    PS. Just announced that we will be getting "Hsing I Pang Loong Chen"
