    kyokushin hard
    san da hard
    chen taiji (hard to an extent)

    now unless shaolin starts to look like any of the above in sparring or training methods at least
    i'm afraid in my eyes most of it will remain for show and in that sense only is it external
    external ceases to mean the same as hard these days

    and most internal will remain for health unless they buck up their ideas aswell

    it seems more and more that our "martial" arts are becoming just arts

    i know that alot of you on this board can in fact fight with some proficiency with their kung fu

    but u are the exception to the rule

    anybody can fight but it takes a true martial artist to fight well

    man am i gonna get flamed for this

    as you state, its all in the way you train. many traditional shaolin exersizes and styles are considered to be 'hard' or external styles and methods, within the cma context at least...

    (side note, the man i learned my shaolin from, specializes in chen style taiji...)

    as well the wing chun that i train, the training begins with power generation in the early stages. we dont focus on the internal aspect, at least not at the point i am at. its all conditioning, drills, two man drills, dummy, and power. of course there is the form, but even in our form we are drilling primarily the power in each technique as well as the form.
    A man has only one death. That death may be as weighty as Mt. Tai, or it may be as light as a goose feather. It all depends upon the way he uses it....
