When I w/o I wear Chefs pants!! yeah they are baggy and loose and are not cut like these modern uniforms. So I guess since I use Chef pants I am a Cook instead of a MA. You may think that but my french pastries are superb , haha. You wrote 70% when I said 75% and what I feel is right is skewed by history not GMT. You also said you could prove something then doit dont just say it. BTW it was called SD since the early 80's or late 70's. The ST wasnt even caring about the name at that time. . Also SD doesnt resemble Southern Kung Fu because it is more than just that. It is traced back to more than one temple. This is all I am going to say if Go Ju wants knowledge he is going to have to read the thread and learn, much like he has learned his MA from reading. KC

everyone always makes the big deal about using the words karate or shaolin...
i often think of how when GMS came to the U.S. that karate was i much more well known word in the use and was used to think of ALL eastern martial arts.. so i would think it could have been used to help people to understand what was going on?

and i also often think the work shaolin was an unknown thing by most people in this country at that time, so i feel it was most likely used because THATS WHAT IT WAS. I mean why elsa would you begin using that if no one would have known what you were talking about. So i feel at that time there was no benifit to using the name of shaolin? but i was what was.

another thing i have seen and wonder if any one elsa has ever seen this....
i have ran across a few books form the late 60s early 70s where a master teaching a kung fu style had all of his students wearing GIs,, thats what was in the pics, now the teacher was in fogbuttons but his students wore GIs? i alway just that they use what they could get at the time...

and on belts.........please just look around,,,,,,,,i run across alot worse **** then that from many so called quality schools...

Nice!!! That's just what I've been looking for.....I'm making some of those to use with my Baqua students......a lot less work than pouring concrete into flower pots and a he!! of a lot easier to put away hope you don't mind...I already have them holding postures on weighted sports balls....this will be great for their circle walking
BQ

We would use paint buckets for may flower excercises, circle walking, various push up training and one leg squats. Works well in a pinch.

[goju]

lol the xcuses made to try to make sense out of the history and the style lol

its still circle talking from you guys

"HAHAHAHA.....I forgot about those fuking shoes weight vest have replaced the
buckets." (Baqualin)

I still have the shoes. And the buckets. And the weight vest.

And Dr. Yang Jwing Ming's book on Emei Baguazhang has a post pattern and walking path between and around the posts, and prescribes a circle of bricks to walk upon, also with weights in each hand while doing so -- like the buckets.

I own one, an orange one, which I bought at the Shaolin Temple when I was in China. I don't train in it (never have), but it makes a great Halloween costume. It's a somewhat durable cotton/poly blend I believe. If I recall correctly it's mostly poly/other synthetic, which is another reason I don't train in it, as cotton is easier to care for. It's basically a top and a bottom, both orange, elastic waist and ankles on the pants, which are virtually identical to the pants worn in most Chinese martial arts. Really the only difference between the Shaolin pants and karate pants is the open ends of the karate pants. The top folds one end over the other in similar fashion to the karate gi top. It is roughly as long as a karate top and stitched more or less identically. Tying a sash around the waist rather than a karate belt and wearing the long socks and kung fu shoes, along with the orange color, helps make them look more different than the karate uniform, but having worn both I can tell you they are pretty **** similar. I hope this is what you were looking for.

If you're a parapalegic, and it happened to be a wheelchair, I hope you at least learned how to carthweel back into it.

oh yeah and technically the karate uniforms werent originally karate uniforms
krate is from okinawa not japan and thus is not a japanese art like many think
and when the okinawans were trying to introduce karate to japan the japanese didnt really get it
so they okinawans used the japanese uniforms and the belt system from judo and used japanese names to ease krate along and the japanese excepted it

traditionally there is no karate uniform the okinawans were very casual about teaching and didnt even have names for their kata or moves

[goju]

god your going to catch so much **** from these guys for calling that master shaolin wookie lol
im just going to sit back and watch the train wreck
