This is in my area. the guys has reportedly studied with some good people, but I'm skeptical of anyone who purports to teach Dim-Mak and "one touch" KOs (with a "TM" behind it.) What do you guys think?

I'd go there long before I'd set foot in a shaolin-do school.
You ain't got room to be skeptical of anyone.

Ah Fred, I can still be skeptical of a school and still find merit in what they teach. I've heard great things about his teachers and I was thinking about visiting his school. I figured some of you guys may have worked with him at some point. He used to teach in Florida, I believe.
JP, I think a guy here in town either trains under him or with him under deThours but I haven't seen him move so I don't know.
"George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."
"If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"
"Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"
It's simpler than you think.
I could be completely wrong"
awful lot of theory on this page.

I dunno if he's legit or not, but look at the size of his head!.
Some of his teachers are good.

Disclaimer: The following statements do not indicate that I think this person is phony. I'm just going to go over some things that raise my eyebrows. I have made no conclusions from this, because I can't be bothered to care enough.
1. It always dings my phony radar when someone calls himself sigung.
2. I'm always suspicious of claims to mastery of multiple schools.
The site claims:
My questions:His training includes over ten styles of Silat and Kung Fu and Systema, as well as intensive knowledge of Tai Chi and Chi Kung. His certifications include a Guru (senior teacher) level in Pentjak Silat, a Master level (Si-Gung) in internal Kung Fu, and an Instructor certification in Systema.
What styles? Under whom? Master level (Si-Gung) in internal Kung Fu? Again, where and with whom?
I'd go check it out and see if I liked it. If I did, then I'd probably do more research.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice, there is.

JP,
Doesn't Houston have both a Traditional Shaolin School, and Southern Praying Mantis School?
I think I'd start there, or at least check them out...
He doesn't look old enough. And in the lower "Suwanda and Inosanto" pic, he looks like he's about 16, yet the date is stamped 1995, so he's already been owning/teaching at his silat school for 5 years? And all the pictures have that I-just-walked-up-to-Dan-Inosanto-and-asked-him-to-take-a-picture-with-me-so-I-can-claim-him-as-my-teacher look to them.He has over a quarter century of continuous study in the martial arts

Looks like a joke to me:
1) Teaches way to many styles of kung fu
2) Way too young to be calling himself Si Gung (which is the Chinese equivalent of Grandfather)
3) Claims to teach "drunken" which isn't a style its a subset of several different styles.
Maybe this kid is a good fighter but I don't think he has built the teaching credentials to the level that he claims.
