USSD has bribe- I mean is bringing a few monks down in aug.
But it's $250 for 1 hour class with 200 people in one room.

There are nearly two dozen Shaolin disciples (wuseng and biaoyanseng) here in the S.F. Bay Area now. We're working on documenting them, but it's going to take some time.

i wish there were more, or if I knew of where some were. There is a large need for them in northern orange county - ZERO good shao-lin schools, everything in my area is trash..(i've visited all of them)..

so sad..

If anyone knows of one in north oc please tell me!.

i'm looking for shao-lin style..not wushu.. i know of the place in HB, and its great for wushu, but they dont do shao-lin style (as least not to my knowledge)...

shaolin does everything.....atleast to my knowledge...ya wushu is fancy and isnt effective in street combat...but it is good way to train your body. wushu teach you a lot of speed and balance which is good training aid.

o well i think this topic been beat dead anyways, dont need to bring it bak up

That would be great.

I know there are a few monks in southern California that were a part of the traveling demonstration team. They occasionally put on day long seminars where they teach forms.

Last year I took the class for the hand set Tong Bei and the staff set Yin Shou. The monks were extremely talented(at least from my limited point of view) and I learned quite a bit from the classes.

They are doing another class next month at the Shaolin Temple Kung Fu School in Lomita. They are teaching shao hong chuan, or Little Red Fist, which is a very old traditional Northern Shaolin set.

The class is scheduled on June 24th, and here's a link for information is anyone is interested:

I hope it is okay for me to post this link here. I'm not trying to promote the event or anything.

Did they go over applications of the form or just taught the form?

I am learning Xiao Hong Quan right now. From video unfortunately, and would love to learn application. I would fly to CA for that to learn from the source. Plus I can visit family and friends too. So it woudl be cost effective.

You'd fly to CA to learn Shao Hong Quan from Shaolin monks?

Anybody could teach you that fist set. It's simple, and the applications are easy. Waste of plane fare. Even a hack could teach Hong Quan good enough.

Wu Shu. Wu shu blades, Wu shu spears, Wu shu footwork.
i have traveled all over China to Shaolin (Kung Fu Disneyland), Wu Dang (Remote Mountain tourist trap), Chen village (Large school, nobody home), Beijing and most of what i saw was Wu shu. Traditional is dead over there it seems.
