    First Ever..

    ..Shaolin monks tour from 1992.

    I used to a copy of this on VHS years ago until I loaned it to a friend and never saw it again. Does anyone know where I could find another copy? I've been looking for this for years and have never run across it.

    Thanks for that excellent background! Also, thanks for the extra info on the Houston Temple. Since you wrote that article, Shi Yan Feng has opened a nice studio here in Sugar Land and we are proud to have him. I enjoyed the few classes I took from him and plan on many more when the economy turns... someday...

    Ah yes Gene, I noticed your into about it being an old submission..... you sure do write a lot of words!!!!! Glad these did not go to waste.

    Also, I do want to pick up your words about Shaolin training methods being much more strenuous than American style. My little 4 week session almost killed me. At 4 years plus experience, I was barely capable of being a beginner. His other taiji students were slim guys in their '30's, mostly of Chinese heritage, and one guy of 50 who was a black belt in TKD. Of course, his KF students were much younger; again mostly of Chinese families. Lots of Chinese families move out to Sugar Land from S/W Houston just over the horizon...

    DJ: ...but you've been here since 2004...

    RS: I'll look into that. I have to dig it out of my collection again. Heck, it might be here at the office. My files are in such disarray right now. It was a fairly small pamphlet.

    SJ: Have you been to Shaolin yet? Because nothing compares to the hardship that the kids go through there. Nothing at all.

    Ah no, not the temple, just to Shao Feng's studio a few blocks from my house. But trust me, there is no sliding by in his class. It's cool to go in after school and see all the little kids flippin' all over the place.

    What interests me is if you watch the old vids ya'll have been talking about when he was the child performer, you see him flippin' onto the top of his head. From the vids he posts now about his class performing around town, he still flips onto the top of his head...... very impressive.

    Back to the training, he's polite and soft-spoken, but demanding. I have no doubt that I could not be a beginner in his taiji class, those guys are really tough! But I do intend to take qi gong from him someday when my finances improve. That yellow suit hangs in my closet just waitin' on the day.

    Shao Feng was an amazing kid

    I knew him when he was a young shami. He was so intense. But there's no way he can do what they do at Shaolin to the kids. It would be considered child abuse here.
