Is Shaolin-Do for real?

[bodhi warrior]

Found this video from out west. It's the crazy mad drunk form. Does anyone else do it this way? I learned this back in '85 and this is alittle different.

I watched some the other videos he has and on a positive note the guy has good flexibility.

Not exactly it looks like they mixed Shang Chung Li with Foong Wang Chue ? sp, any way NO KC

[Golden Tiger]

While there may have been some editing to it, no, that is not the way I remember it. They have added quite a few moves from the Immortals set it appears. The front kick, back kick before clipping the foot is from Chou Kou Chu*(which there is no front kick/back kick there in the original form), the twist strike looks like the ones from Li Ti Kue, after the reverse smash the hand sequence is a bit off....

Anyway, its just a little different not necessarily wrong.

I'm planning on going to lexington for the gathering, should be fun, looking ofrward to seeing Elder Master Leonard in action!

What the PHUCK? That is the form alright but, it looks like white belts are performing it. What is with the straight arms?? If I wasnt looking at the specific movements I wouldnt have recognized the form. Also this is only part of the form. Terribly done.

Hey JP, No jumps in the way you play this set?? They have been teaching it that way out west since at least 1990.

i would agree with the statement "stuns then grabs" ...

using the intent i show in that clip i am clearing and striking.
i do at times practice it with a more downward motion but i do not think of it as actually clawing someone.

for me as far as actually clawing a person i think it may do more damage to your own finger nails.

what are you actually clawing and how? are you clawing the face? if so to what affect?

are you clawing the chest? if so what if they are wearing even a light jacket?

thanks ... its good to actually talk about martial arts here ...
