I can check my local libraries in Seattle, there aren't any SDers in this area.

Just need to know the year of the book that supposedly has the picture.

Operatives are on their way.

Ask TWS. I think he said he saw the book was published in the 1960s and he showed it to his teacher in the 80s.

Oh crap, I've got a plane to catch out of Knoxville, maybe the layover in Atlanta won't be too long so I can beat you there.

Maybe I won't get confused between Guinness books and Guinness on tap this time.

Quoted by judge pen

"Ask TWS. I think he said he saw the book was published in the 1960s and he showed it to his teacher in the 80s."

I did not write or say that I SHOWED THIS BOOK to my previous teacher(hell if i had the d@mn book back then and found out then what i found out a couple of years ago then i would have quit SD long ago. no,this was a book shown to him that he told me about back in his training days. it was shown to him by a fellow student who chanced upon the book. It was a guiness book of records featuring circus freaks and the pic of "Su kong" was a full body shot with him in that suit and tie.


Peace,,TWS

if su kong was so great and traveled to other temples to teach fighting monks and so on, then why isn't in the shaolin's history. they should at least mention him once or twice.

Let's say he didn't get out much.
The Chinese at that time were very supertious, sorry this thing doesn't have spell check and its 1:00am. Even during WWII, the Chinese would run out in front of a P-40 taxing so the devil that was chasing them would be cut down by the prop.
If memory is correct, I think that I read that he had left the temple twice.
Which leaves me to this, why didn't he shave? Sure it would have sucked without out a Mach 4 razor.

My bad. This is what you wrote:

"This information focused on the “hairy grandmanster,,which they name (Su Kong) My research turned up another Picture of “Su kong” whose name is actually ”li Baoshu” who was part of the bejing circus in the 1930’s and the picture that everyone sees of Li baoshu in the suit and tie was taken and put in an old guiness book of world records featuring “circus freak shows”(in this book it is a full body shot)the picture that is shown to everyone now and that has been for years is just a head shot(edited of course). This book was found at a public library in louisville kentucky and shown to my previous teacher back in the early 80’s(it was an old book from the late 60’s and for some reason is no longer at the library in Louisville Kentucky)."

So if I understand what you are saying. You (TWS) have never actually seen the book or the picture in question? You heard this information from somebody who saw the book themselves? I took your post to say that you had found the book "from your research."

At least the CSC still has their videos up. I think someone about 50 pages or so ago was asking about the Sin The' clips. Click the "Grandmaster" link for Sin The' doing a preying mantis form (I think). Only the Hi-Speed links are working.

I was looking for that other pic of Su Kong to sort of back up what TWS is saying. The one where he is shirtless. It's my understanding that picture is cropped to remove a bear biting Su Kong's arm, which would suggest a circus background.

As far as I know, Shaolin never used bears to train iron body.

Nah, the bear was his sparring partner. They used Tigers for Iron Body, silly.

Has anyone ever seen a photograph of Ie Chang Ming? Why are there always photos of Su Kong and not of Ie?

Apparently, Ie preferred portraits. One of his "collegues" was a painter. That's the only picture you ever see. I don't know why.

Maybe he was superstitious about his picture being taken. I'm not superstitious about it but I HATE it for whatever reason. Maybe he just felt the same way about it. I'm not photogenic, everytime there is a picture of me taken it comes out wrong. Maybe he figured his painting collegue could do better. Nobody really has any proof.
