Just returned from DengFeng on monday ...
A side note on the latter derailment of this thread: I've done CMA for 20 years (age 13 to age 33, in a month time) and have been in only 2 "street fights", the first as a teen and the second 11 years ago, so I'm doing CMA far more for well-being, fitness, sport, "art", and many other reasons rather than for fighting on the streets, something I hope I will never do again or at worse once every 15 years or more
Now getting back to the original topic ... I just got back from Shaolin a few days ago. Thanks to Shi Xing Hong, a few IWF Beijing friends, and Russbo contacts, I got to hang out with De Yang, De Chao, a bunch of WuShu Guan guys, and there is definitely plenty of real Shaolin left, amongst the modern WuShu and other assorted hybrids, all of which I like anyway (I do both trad and modern taolu and sanda).
For one-week-old Shaolin pictures (mostly of me as it is my school site) you can go to www.shaolin-wushu.it , there is a NEW button on the homepage or go to images.
Still buzzing from the trip
