Devil

Not Finland, South East Asia. I talked to my Si Gung one time and he said that him and his team went down there to compete and do demos. And a few years later they went down there again and all of a sudden everybody did monkey style or had monkey in their style.

Lets be objective…

I’m not on anyones side here and I’m not going to contribute to the “he said, he said” arguements.

But, history has a way of flowing in different directions from the source. One will say one thing and another will agree to disagree. History is one of those fuzzy little things that can’t really be proven. We get our history from our teachers and they from theirs and so on. So, it’s not fair to judge one style or another without first actually seeing a sample of it.

I still say that one should be judged by the quality of their actions not by the quantity of their words. Unfortunatly thats how we pick our presidents, go figure. :smiley:

Exactly, Sifu Abel.

I thought about it and think it may even be possible that we’re actually talking of two separate styles, both called Tai Shing here. Okay, that sounds unlikely, but there are a few monkey strains going around, so not impossible. That would, however, explain things.

I also have a source that lists Tai Shing as one of the founders of the 5 Ancestors style, which would be impossible if it weren’t old enough.

Just a few moe thoughts.

And what source is that?

eh richie pm me, i live in vancouver

curious about the taishing/pekwa gm&son&co. out here, i know thier highly respected, just curious about fee’s and such, do you train in japan, or you have to fly for your lesson’s, yah do this on pm, this thread may go into, SHOUTING AND WATER BOTTLE’S BIENG THROWN AT WHOEVER SHOULDN’T BE ON THE PODIUM.:cool:

A book by Sifu Wong Kiew Kit on Shaolin kung-fu lists the five influences that went into the style, including Tai Shing. As for his exact sources, I don’t know, but he has access to various stuff. Truly interested parties could approach him for the reference.

As for insults and bottle-throwing, at least I’ve no taste for that on a forum. This is something of an academic dicussion for me.

I fly there from Japan. I’m a closed door student, so I don’t have a set price. However, a normal student pays 90 a month canadian.

how much time do you get for 90

i would pay more just for the quality, however in a article the tspw
gm stated you should really only do this one style, wich may be a problem for me, as i have only learnt not even a quarter of my style but have seen almost everything init so im psyched to complete my training, BUT THE QUALITY JUST 5-8 MILES FROM ME, seems stupid to pass up, i noticed they have adds for come learn to fight like a champion, if your into another style, could you come in and learn say a comp style, say have the masters work on your fight game, or is it a pretty set curriculum until you gain some skill/flexibility and enter the door.
PEACE
