Shaolin schools in Los Angeles/OC?

[n00854180t]

Hey everyone from So. California.

I'm interested in the Shaolin Lomita school. Anyone know anything about it (other than stuff on the website, I've already read through)?

Great School! Please tell Master Marquez Sifu Kisu sends his regards.

What would you like to know about the school?

There are three main class types: (1)Northern Shaolin, From the Ku Yu Cheung lineage through Grand Master Wong Jack Man(the guy famous for his fight with Bruce Lee, and Master Kam Yuen(The fight scene coordinator from the original Kung Fu the series show) and Praying Mantis(Tai Chi, Seven Star, and Plum Blossom), (2)Southern Shaolin, from the Ark Wong lineage, and (3)Tai Chi(Yang, Chen, Wu, and Wang styles). You can cross train in the three main schools, but most focus on one for a time. I am learning the Northern Shaolin/Mantis curriculum.

I have been there about a year and a half and have the utmost respect for the Sifus. We train pretty hard(as I'm sure most Shaolin schools do), so unless you are used to a pretty strenuous workout it may take a few weeks to a month to get used to. The head instructor, Sifu Manuel Marquez, is usually there on Mondays(5:30 for Northern Shaolin, and 7:00 tai chi), so I would suggest coming down on that day to meet him. You can watch a class and participate in one for free before deciding whether or not to join.

Hope to see you around there!

Sifu Kisu,

I must have just missed meeting you then, as I was there with the school for the Lotus Festival. Was a good day for the festival, just before all that awful heat hit.

It's always a pleasure to meet kung fu 'big' cousins, or uncles, or whatever the proper term is.

I'll be sure to pass on the "Wassup" next time I see him

Hi,

I was interested in the MICA school in LA? What do you mean by "no additive"?

Also anyone know anything about the Hua Long classes?

All I see is Sifu Z asking for help on how to fix his watch and cell phone on the forums?

[MasterKiller]

Oh well. His program used to be discussed all over the place. I know they threatened at least one major board with lawsuits for leeching images and making fun of his content.

Maybe he reeled in all the others as well.

It used to be called Li Jia Quan, and before that it was something Shaolin.

Mmm...okay. I try to keep an open mind. And what was the discussion regarding his content? Is it not Kung Fu? And he has trained under the Sifu of MICA (I forget the name) so shouldn't be the same?

thanks MasterKiller for answering my questions so far. I don't want to open up any bad blood so a PM would be fine.

Thanks,

I got a chance to meet Master Larry once. He seems a nice enough fellow and was willing to explain their system to me. I got the impression they are a "Kung Fu for Health" group as opposed to a martial oriented club. I had never heard of any of the styles or Masters except Master Rossi. He is sincere in his intent and they seem to have following so I would not want to say anything to knock them down. After all reputation is everything....

How about my other question regarding Master Rossi's school. What do you mean with Shaolin no additives?

Any thoughts about MICA's Kung Fu?

Without being mean spirited I was poking fun at them.



If there is any Shaolin being practiced there,













they hide it well.......

dude i love that picture and the captions for it...
*Sifu Rossi Performs The Extremely Difficult "Buddha Squat"*
what so hard about that pose??or *squat*.....

[Lokhopkuen]

Unfortunately I have made the mistake over and again making casual venomous statements in these on line forums so let me say here that it is easy to find fault with the martial arts of others especially from the isolation of our living and work spaces.
The photo of Sifu Rossi performing the squat is impressive in that his posture is excellent. The posture is three part stand straight, sit straight, stand straight again repeat. He looks strong.

Peace
