the pic you are referring to is master the holding katanas but he is demonstrating a broadsword form/technique/ back then broadswords were not so readily available so he made do with what he could get.

Keep IS-Dfr locked down. All IS-Dfr posters deserved to be punished.

Okay, I apologize for the misunderstanding. I saw the photo and thought perhaps I might have a lead into another branch of Shaolin Ninjitsu.
Have a nice day.

Does your system include any poison hand techniques?
And I was also wondering if your katana katas are engineered according to the principles of Musashi, or his rivals.
Grandmaster Sensei
Myself, I prefer Musashi.

I prefer Thibault. That is of course, as long as my opponent hasn't studied Agrippa.

Ah, but we musn't forget dear Theophrastus, right?

A while back, we were talking about white crane, and how it relates to Shaolin-Do's white crane.
This is more along the laines of what I do. Althought my teacher differs from Yang-Jing Ming's White Crane forms, and some of his philosopphies, he s good comparison. I like this demo from Houston. Lol, my teacher showed it to me. I didn't think he even knew what youtube was lol.:

Also, I do this form. It's good for power generation. You have it in some forms, but not condensed like this:

Another classic form. Mine differs slightly:

A video of Yang performing a form. He's actually really quite good. If you can ever train with him I recommend it. I did once for like a week lol. He did nt do a lot of workout, but his classes were very informative.
He moves very nicely.
One thing about crane forms, is that most of them are very short compared to most styles. They rarely have many stepping variations, except in drills, but they repeat many motions over and over, to get them right.
Even many advanced forms are short.

This has probably already been asked in this same thread, and if not, probably another SD thread, but I'm not going through all 1500 posts looking for it. Anyway, does anyone have an explanation for Sin The's claim that he is "the only person in 1500 years to be honored with two monuments at the Shaolin Temple" (page 12 under: http://www.shaolingrandmaster.com/biography.html)?
Now obviously, my typical explanation would be that Sin The is completely full of sh!t because, well, he is, but he actually does have photos of him at Shaolin next to a monument where he appears being honored.
