I haven't logged on here and took a look at things in a long while so i just noticed. Thanks Gene and yes i was spanked shaolin style!
Over all it was a really good experince. After the buildup of the previous trip this time i was able to get past the "I'm at shaolin" excitment and absorb more. I trained mostly in the small village next to shaolin this time, last time i trained in shaolin temple itself. I learned dahong quan and qixing quan. i also learned another form at shi yan lu's school in dengfeng when i visited there for a day.
The most important thing I learned at shaolin was the spirit of kung fu training. These people have little yet they train hard every day. I saw students training 4x a day in a way that most people here wouldnt do once. I think perserverance is what makes them good.
Even though it's been 5 months ago i am still processing everything I experinced there. I'm still processing the trip in 2009 for that matter lol
