    I remember about 5 years ago I attended one of the golden leopard seminars. After the seminar sin the sat us all down to make a big announcement. His movie was going to be released shortly and that once people saw it they would be lining up around the corner to sign their kids up. He said it would make shaolin do bigger than taekwondo, even bigger than soccer. He said we were sitting on a gold mine.
    Of course the movie still hasn't came out. The whole context of the speech to me was, making more money.

    Unfortunately, that seems to be a common occurance with him over the last several years.

    Eric smith

    So was master Eric smith kicked out of the system too? Or did he just quit?
    The reason I ask is..he is no longer listed on the SDA website list of masters. Just curious. I always thought he was one of the most skilled people in the system.

    You can't trust the SDA site to be a complete list of those masters under Sin The. They only list the SDA masters so Master Mullins etc are not referenced on that site.

    thats correct, it is only masters in the SDA, not CSC or any of the other areas and such, there for its only a partial list of those in the over all system

    I wonder what Worhol or Pollock would have done. A Shaolin Do linoleum drip?

    Even in North Korea I'm sure they'd give the ol' SD movie the boot. There is no world and no country in which the SD story could possibly be interesting, short of Sin The' getting Tony Jaa in on the stunts.

    I keep picturing this clip, with Teen Wolf in the Hero's role:

    Wish him all the best, though.

    Nope. I've seen your ad on the Atlanta pages but you're out of my driving range. I love to cross-train, but I'm not into the park-kungfu thing. THe only Northern Shaolin/wushu stuff I've practiced outside of SD in the Atlanta area was with Yinzhang Wang...but that was several years back. None of the Atlanta Shaolin schools do any sparring worth a **** outside of SD that I've seen. Practiced MMA for 2 years, did Capoeira with Mestre Robson, and I got a BJJ Blue Belt from a Gracie Barra Jiujitsu school. But I'm an SD guy at the core.

    If you have a grasp of its chin-na and short forms, SD's basic techniques are like Hobbes's description of the state of Nature:

    Nasty, brutish, and short.

    Whoah...I was being nice, but since you went there...
    1) What is "Park kung fu"?
    2) Northern Shaolin has nothing to do with "wushu" the way you slashed it
    3)YZWang sux
    4) Really? Looks like you haven't seen ANYthing bro.
    5) Sorry, but SD did not create what you call Chin-na. Qin Na is in every style and I more than have a grasp of it.

    Surprised you reacted this way to my asking if we knew each other simply since I noticed we are in the same area and studied at the same school (UGA). Now it looks like you may have crossed the line. I do hope I interpreted your intentions incorrectly...
