This is not the old days, anymore. Any training post-1928 is going to be different than anything pre-1928, for obvious reasons.
Well, SD has some Southern forms, like Tiger Crane. So, if Hung Gar is Shaolin based, then SD's Tiger Crane has to give them some Shaolin connection. The real question is how did it get into SD in the first place...and i didn't say south fists don't come from shaolin, i said its possible they did. (you can see some technique and footwork) but shaolin-do?
Most of the "authentic" Shaolin they teach was brought back from the villages, where the real stuff was kept and spread.lastly yeh henan temple makes a lot of money teaching modern wushu, but that doesn't mean they don't teach authentic shaolin.
Actually, "DO" is Cantonese. Shaolin is Mandarin. So, asking why the mix of Mandarin and Cantonese is really a more valid question.its japanese.

In the pictures I have from WhiteEarp, they aren't training in Karate Gis. I know there are pics of Sin and Hwang as teenagers wearing Gis, though (in one of the pdfs on shaolingrandmaster.com I think), so who knows if they even used them outside of tournaments...

well that's easy to explain, language variation. my jiangsu village dialect would be so-lin do. the village right next to us would be sio-ning do.
gangbang aside, my point is that
i think no one has the authority to call themselves shaolin unless they train the way pre 1928.
the henan shaolin temple. it's authority is questionable but at least it is the real shaolin temple (although rebuilt) right? at least they train hard, even modern whushu people in china train ten times harder than trad kung fu westerners here. at lesat they have somehting in common:both can't fight for sh1t

ok then we can agree to disagree right? i just think if you got shaolin in your name , then you need to put lots of work in. that's tuff to do with kung fu.
ok good luck mister, but remeber please, "train hard" is a relative term these days. people often think they train hard but there is always another level.

Ever notice how virtually everyone agrees that 95% of all traditional schools are crap, but NOBODY ever admits to being in that 5%? Don't judge... your skill may suck also...

I noticed that GMst is going to teach the golden leopard again. A question for those who took it the last time, what did you think of the material and the seminar method of teaching?
