    why is there no contemporary wushu forum ?

    considering there is a lot of it in the magazine
    there are only masters where there are slaves

    Maybe because most CMA is in denial that they pretty much are just wushu?

    good question

    We've discussed it a little. We inherited this forum years ago and only added our Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine & KungFuMagazine.com Forum. All the forums were active, so we didn't make that many changes so as not to be too disruptive to the membership when we came on board. We get a lot of people asking about new forums, and that's great, but we just aren't adding anything at this time. Frankly, for wushu, we're neighbors to Berkeley and jiayo dominates when it comes to wushu forums, so we defer to Raffi on that. At one point, when that site needed to be updated, we offered to host it, but it was declined (and I admire that integrity). You'll notice that it's one of the only forums outside this one that I occasionally post on.

    Gene, I don't know why you bothered to respond to what amounts to nothing but vitriol.

    How many issues you got golden? In my collection of KFM, there are relatively few articles about anything contemporary wushu. Mostly trad players.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Judging by that Berkeley tournament a lot of people do wushu.

    I thought the Shaolin forum was for wushu players.

    Never took you for the selfish type DJ. I wouldn’t mind a modern wushu forum either. Don’t practice that, just wouldn’t mind reading about their training methods and stuff.

    Eddie -

    His post was a jab, not a comment or question.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Gene - Wushu Area needed on this Forum

    Since there is such heavy coverage of Contemporary Wushu by the Magazine, shouldn't we have an area to accomodate it.

    It was only just now with the recent issue did I recorgnize that it was lacking here.

    No, you are wrong, the Shaolin Forum is for Kempo discussions.

    see what I mean.

    Shaolin should be for the art taught at the shaolin temple and its relatives.

    No, it should be for Kempo and Shaolin Do.

    Who wants to talk about real Shaolin Kung Fu? Especially on a forum labled "Shaolin?"

    That would make just too much sense !!
