Is Shaolin-Do for real?

I am certain you're going to get a lot of questions here, then. And being there firsthand, your comments will most likely carry a lot of weight for the folks on this forum.

With all due respect, are you able to offer any proof that you are who you say you are? In this case it would seem your credibility depends on not being anonymous.

Again, not meant to be disrespectful, just meant to prevent trolling.

I would ask that an unbiased (in this debate) admin verify your identity offline.

I figured he would try to come up with some lame excuse if I asked him at the deposition to explain his numerous inconsistencies, so better to let him squirm on the hard questions in front of the jury. Of course, another factor was that the federal court has a local rule limiting the number of hours a deposition may last and I was approaching that limit.

I declare shenanigans...

There are no shenanigans (especially when someone says I'm exactly correct).

If you were the lawyer, then it was obvious from the depositions that you had reviewed this forum in your preparation. I wish I could get paid by the hour to lurk here....

The case ended so fast I didn't make as much as I normally make on this kind of case. By the way, it was you that called me just after the depositions were published, wasn't it?

*lol* Oh, the shenanigans aren't the sentiment of what was said. (Though they are shenanigans on the part of Sin The). The shenanigan here is the claim that this person is really the lawyer from the deposition. Anyone who has read the transcript and been participating in this forum could come to the conclusion he did. And wouldn't the real lawyer be prohibited from talking at all about a case that was settled out of court? I'm just hoping nobody is being fooled by this. I'm sure this person is someone who has frequented this forum and just wants to yank some chains by using the fictional authority of the lawyer to bash Sin The some more. I anticipate he will either disappear, never to be heard from again, without having revealed any information not already available to the public (which would be illegal to reveal anyway for an actual lawyer), or will devolve into name calling and Shaolin-Do bashing.

Wow, so Shaolin Do is competing with CSC now? They are directly pushing into eachothers' territory? Is this the first shot in the soon-to-be named Great Shaolin War, or Shaolin-ageddon? Shaolin-Dopocalypse?

Chuck has been there for awhile now. He is the "replacement" for Jake. At one point with Sin The's blessing, Jake and Robert Gardner were both in Phoenix (actually one is in Phoenix the other is in Scottsdale) Jake was under Grooms and Mullins. When Jake left the system, Grooms put Chuck in as a replacement.

I live in Tennessee , good to see there is a losing of this territory crap. I am interested to see what happens when or if I open a school here in Tn as I do not train with Mullins or Grooms. But with Texas and Lexington instead. Any other schools broken away from SD or Sin The ?? KC

[RJ797]

Teach wherever and whatever you want as long as you aren't interested in "staying in the system". If it's important to you to study under Leonard and Schaefer and have Sin The do your testing and teach a new form a couple of times a year - you are stuck with the territory crap
