Is Shaolin-Do for real?

[Scott R. Brown]

It can't be that memorable for me. I have no idea what you're talking about. I guess that comes with the heavy handed. I don't even think about stuff like that. It's either gonna get scrubbed or not and that's that.

Judgement call, on the fly and no, they aren't always gonna be great, but, c'est la vie.

Thanks for your blessing. lol

You have to quit hitting your own head when you DOH!!! When you use a heavy-hand you end up knocking the good sense right out of there!

Lucky for you the Sturgeon General has found that once a person accepts my blessings they have fewer gray hairs, their garden vegetables grow larger (as well as certain personal body parts) and they score better when playing Canadainian Jeopardy!

You are welcome!

I just recently started participating on this forum, but have read the archives for years, because so often when I would do a specific search on something Kung Fu related, this forum was the only source of information I could find.

Even today when I do research on some style or form, the best information, (or misinformation, whichever the case), usually comes from this forum...so I think deleting a thread of that size would do a disservice to any future interested, uniformed people.

Besides, some of it's funny.

That's very affirming, Kellen, thank you. This is, in my fevered brain, exactly the intention I have always maintained behind this forum - a searchable information archive and a bit of fun. Oh, and some product plugging too.

Yeah I noticed that right off.

I considered mentioning it, but I am not very good at making substantive posts with thought provoking information or constructive criticism, I am way to humble for that kind of public display of genius!

Um, yeah, well I do take criticism well. It's a pitfall of my job. I will confess to error. In fact, there's a part of me that delights when a delusion of mine is dispelled. The fallout is this; As it stands at this post, the poll is at:
Unlock IS-Dfr. Merge all S-D threads together so it clears 1000 posts! ~ 15
Unlock IS-Dfr. Let all the S-D threads stand independently. ~ 10
Keep IS-Dfr locked down. All IS-Dfr posters deserved to be punished. ~ 4
Delete them all. Let Yama sort them out. ~ 14
Now as presented here, it's been neck-&-neck for option 1 and 4. However, given this polling error, both Unlock options should be merged, which would make it:
Unlock: 25; Delete: 14.
Whatever the case, we'll decide tomorrow.

It takes a man nearing MY stature to not only recognize his errors, but also publicly admit to them. I wish I knew someone else on this BB, perhaps someone from Canadiland, besides you and I, capable of such magnanimital humility!

I hate to admit that, although I voted to delete, I've actually changed my mind. I was feeling a bit cranky the other day. There are a lot of people who enjoy the SD thread, and now IMO it wouldn't be fair to get rid of it. It's not as if there was a lot of offensive crap being spewed (well, other than SD being offensive to some). . As mentioned, some find it a good resource, and many plain find it entertaining. No one is being forced to read it. I don't read the WC forum, but I would NOT want to see that resource deleted, as many people like and use it as well.

let it be

let live and live

information and disinformation

are all information.

[kwaichang]

In that case SD is the most Traditional best MA in the world and directly from all 6 of the Shaolin Monasteries. No matter what you say. and SD wears Gis because thay are more like the original outfits worn at the temple and they are cheaper and it was Master Ies way. LOL KC

In the late 1800's, a child was born in Fukien Province, China. The child, born out of wedlock was thought to have been fathered by a demon. He suffered a rare genetic condition known as hyper*****extension, initially the villagers thought the child had been born with three legs, and two feet. He became known as Big Dong Tuhis Chin. Big dong mastered everything known about tongue fu in china. When the temple was attacked with fire, he simply peed on the torches, quickly extinguishing them. Escaping to a brothel in Mongolia, he took along one of the young monks, Eat My Ding. Big Dong taught Eat My everything he knew, but Eat My specialized in the Iron Dong, and Tornado Hand Job techniques. Once, Eat My was walking across China when 108 Manchurian guards attacked him. With his Tornado Hand, and Iron Dong, he left them all lying on the ground, sodomized, and spent. Knowing he would be a wanted man for his skills to the new Prince, Sum Yung Gay, he fled to Indonesia where he married, and became a rich communist leader by selling Iron Dong porn on the black market. He taught his number one grandson, Ching Chang Pay over 10,000 porno techniques he learned from early Panther videos. Ching Chang came to the United States, and using 11 secret herbs and spices made an awesome kool aid that turned otherwise intelligent minds to putty.

Seems legit.

So then you admit that it's possible that you were un fair? Not on purpose, but as a side effect of your process? Cop to it, son!

It's just a Kung Fu forum. Any arbitrary or unfair decision isn't gonna bother anyone for more than the moment. If people do hang on to it, that's on them. If you are angry because of the loss of info, nobody is stopping you from archiving the site on your own.

Quite often KFM ends up in the top ten google responses in MA related topics. For you, this is a very good thing. It's cumulative and increases exponentially. When you start to get ahead in hits, it really starts to take off from the rest. Know what I mean?


I feel that way too. For me it starts as disappointment but ends in happiness. I see my mistake, get annoyed at myself for missing it, then get all happy that I've recognized and dealt with it. I don't get along as well with people who won't recognize and/or admit their own faults.

[Old Noob]

Given that the vote as of yesterday was to decide the issue, shouldn't the thread be unlocked now? Also, the flame war is spilling out all over the forum. Better to contain it by reopening the thread.

[GeneChing]

With this and the Giants & A's games, I'll be eagerly awaiting news all day.

This is a reply that is constructive and slightly long-winded and not succinct.
I am sure that some students traded or exchanged and perhaps even sold the five animal set. In this particular case I rather believe that the five animal was taken from my younger uncle’s book. One must understand that the book was not instructional but only informational. The book is full of photographic errors giving readers a slightly skewed view of the set unintentionally. Photographs by their nature are limited and can only show final positions and very little transitional movement. This is a key to understand and master this particular set.
In this day and age many people think that knowledge is available for free. Well go ahead and you will find that your journey will be void of true martial art skill. I must admit that if you practice the five animal set from any source you will feel great because even practicing the shell of the form has its benefits but understand clearly you will never reap the proper benefits of this form without true instruction.
I learned under Jew Sifu and have trained the five animal internal form for many years and can say it is truly a wonder I consider U-Ming to be one of the jewels of the CLF, HUNG SING style originating from Professor Lau Bun.
