Is Shaolin-Do for real?

[Judge Pen]

Are the DVDs worth the purchase?

I couldn't tell you that; I don't own them. I took the seminar live in 2004 and was very impressed with the concepts. I thought about purchasing the materials but never got around to doing it.

Wookie, forgive me for this post. It may not be true, but I sense some Rashamon revisionism here. Do you think it may be because Sin The thought your confidence was arrogance and that your actions were just another expression of ****iness? I've been in some rough sparring in front of Sin The. I've seen people go down from shots that end the match. I've seen Sin The stop fights and tell people to keep control. I've never seen him lay hands on anyone in the process. I can only deduce that the varible here that is different is you and his attitude toward you. Just a thought, I could be completely wrong.

Maybe it was about that specific girl. Maybe he felt overprotective of her for some reason.

I don't think wook did anything wrong. In fact, from what I have read, I don't think she should have been there at all. Let alone paired up with somebody who is bigger better and faster. If it was me I would have just tossed her around the room till she gave up. I mean, she came to bang right? If it was a lower level test maybe that would be too much, but it was a BB test right?

PET PEEVE HERE. IF YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO CLAIM YOU ARE KUNG FU....SHAOLIN.....YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO STOP USING JAPANESE TERMS FOR CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS.

KUNG FU DOES NOT CALL OUR FORMS "kata" THEY ARE REFERRED TO AS SETS OR FORMS.

in my opinion tim nance is a amazing fighter/martial artist/teacher regardless of the history of his teacher and the origin of the arts they claim to do/teach and regardless of the words he chose to describe his methods..

i have not learned the forms that "kata" application theory are about but the general concept is pretty good.

what i got out of tim nances "kat" class was that it is important to find several usage options for each movement in your forms. practice them against what you think are the most common and likely attacks.

i have met tim nance on a couple of occasions and have had one 2 hour class with him several years ago.

i prefer to use as much english terminology as i can when talking about any style of martial arts since this is the only language i speak:-)

How bout you just upload em so we can all see? It's not like SD has observed the rights of other styles they took from. They should be treated accordingly. Open source that motherfucker!




This is Chow Fook. My Sifu had three teachers and this is one of them. It's not a very good recording but you can see the power. As far as hand sets go, this is very strong. I wish I could have seen him in his prime. As an old man he is still VERY "solid".

There are some vids of the kids, I can't find it but I will look harder and post it so you can see the standards of our school.

Not everyone at the school is good. Some are really bad, actually. But out of the ones who put in the work, they are ALL good for the amount of time they have put in.


So... I don't wanna see a fancy SD wushu set. I wanna see Ging. I would love to see a vid of a POWERFUL sd performance. No flower dances, just POWER. Lay it on me and let me bask in the strength of SD.

Lot of energy for an older guy...nice form...

I took the "kat" at Master Nances home school in Winchester. I loved it. Not all of it works "perfect" for me but it did give me a new way of looking at things and a lot to work from. Oh and he took me one on one and hurt me bad, but it was all in fun. Me and Master Nance get along well, he kind of saved me once in a little deal on a mountain bus ride.

That's the thing with any application; not all applications work for you and not all applications may work on a resisting opponent. Everyone is different. You need an understanding of all the variations on a technique and the comfort level to flow and adapt under pressure. The question isn't "what's the application for this technique?" Rather "What's your application on someone like me for that technique?"

Must have been a hell of a ride. What was the name of the mountain? Egoshan?

If I remember correctly, it was in Tibet. He'll need to supply details, but I think that's what he's talking about.

I think that's pretty common in a lot of schools. The teacher is there to teach, but you get out of it what you are willing to invest.
