Thread: Is Shaolin-Do for real?

  1. #14761
    i have met and trained with several people who train "shaolin do" who have built a decent understanding of lets use tai chi chuan for an example but these people are not doing what sin the or bill leonard teach. i appreciate many things about my experience in atlanta learning the internal side of the system but i did have to reach outside of the system to expand my understanding.

    one of the things that attracted me to the classes at the csc atlanta is it was the only school in atlanta at the time that i found people sparring and practicing tai chi chuan applications.
    to this day i do think gary grooms taught me good tai chi chuan and am glad to have had him as a teacher. i just wish i did not have to endure all of the stories, mysteries, misinformation and lies involved with the system.
    best,

    bruce

    Happy indeed we live,
    friendly amidst the hostile.
    Amidst hostile men
    we dwell free from hatred.

    Sure, but not when I started this journey in 1989. Plus my first teacher didn't talk much about lineage or history. We just trained hard and fought hard. I was happy with that. You can look at the history of my posts on this forum and see the evolution of my thought on the lineage and my affirmation of what is good about SD by my actions.

    Dunno about the first one.

    The second one is Buk Siu Lum from Chan Kwok Wai. Shaolin do norte is Brazilian Portugese for "Northern Shaolin".

    So what? you asked for an example ... now you have two...we can keep going.

    there are exception to every rule , as you have found out for yourself.

    I have seen / heard chinese , english , spanish and japanese terminology used in kung fu classes and on websites.

    I mean if you live in a country that speaks lets say spanish and you have your kung fu website in chinese , you will be hard pressed to get anyone other that chinese. and in a population that speaks spanish there probably wont be that many chinese people....

    Basically you use whatever terminology you need to convey the thought or idea.

    the name is just a label, but I see where in this instance the name does bleed into the practice of the art.

    SD is a hybrid art of chinese , japanese and indonesian decent. period

    i would love to have sin the tell us where he learned chen tai chi chuan and hsing i as it is shown in these clips. http://www.youtube.com/user/shaolind...l?feature=mhee

    what do the old time shaolin do people have to say about these versions of chen tai chi chuan and hsing i? do they still claim that the reason ALL other tai chi chuan looks so different is that everyone else is doing post communist sport wushu? sin the has said he "mastered" this. what does he mean by that?
    best,

    I've seen it mentioned in this thread a couple times that SD is a blend of some kind of japanese style/karate. Just out of curiosity, what part of the system is supposedly karate or some japanese style?

    I can understand being a blend of chinese and indonesian influences but where would japanese influence have come in? And, since those with a karate background have actually said it looks nothing like karate, which specific form or other thing is supposedly from karate influence?

    @ brucereiter: Re: Your post a few posts back. I am planning to look through the videos and respond when I get some more time.
