    Forget it!I was calling you sad for collecting books.

    Not that I think it is - I do too - but I read them all. I read all the time. At the moment its Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness"

    How can people not read. At the moment I'm trying to learn A-Level Physics at my own pace. [I couldn't take it myself in college ]

    In an attempt to get this thread back on track...

    Let's look at this from a philosophical angle:

    Hagakure - The Way of the Samurai
    Dao De Jing
    The Art of War

    All good titles when applied to martial arts and also everyday life.

    The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.

    Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.

    I've recently started learning what our teacher called northern shaolin long fist. What sort of forms are in the style you study? I understand that "long fist" can actually cover a wide range of styles. We got a long term syllabus in the fall and I think I listed all the forms from that in another thread, probably in the Shaolin forum. I'm trying to find some books that I can use to help me remember the forms I'm learning, but the only one I've found so far is _Shaolin Long Fist Kung Fu_ by Yang Jwing-Ming and Jeffery A. Bolt. If you can suggest any other books that might be worth looking into, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
