[SIZE=1]Tell 'em Gene sent you.[/SIZE]
hmmm hoboken isnt too far. my uncle used to live there.
whos going to be doing the seminars?
Dear Mr. GeneChing:
It appears that this competition may be open to all disciples of the true Shao-Lin lineage, whether they be from the USA or from Europe. Trusted sources have informed me that many of the US Monks (Shi Guolin, Shi Yan Ming, Shi Hengxin, Shi Jamal Brown:D , Shi Justin Z.:D, Shi Xing Hao and Shi Xing Ying) in addition to the European schools may have been invited to the event. The buzz around the community is starting to get louder!
Sincerely,

I’d like to go see that, but it is kinda close to Jimmy’s tourney.. I don’t think I’ll have the funds to attend both.
THE Shaolin Contest
Shi Xing Peng (Zhang Lipeng) organized a similar event in Europe a few years back. His vision is to reunite the Shaolin brotherhood abroad, so this event is in part to actualize that vision. He is inviting all Songshan Shaolin lineage masters and students to come together and celebrate our heritage. After some of the petty feuds that have gone down between a few of the monks, Lipeng is offering a space where everyone can get together and resolve their differences. It will be wonderful to see some of the monks together in the same room, and if anyone can do this now, it’s Lipeng, since his heart is only for Shaolin kung fu.
I wouldn’t miss it.
I’ll be there.
im gonna try to get a couple of the schools in our organization to go. it isnt that far away.

I dont train under a Monk directly. My shifu trained Under Shi Yan Ming for a period of time. Do you have to be only a monks student to compete in it?
Hummmmmmmmmm
Well I gess that the Real old Shaolin Kung Fu styles (Northern and Southern Pai) do not get to be in the Competition and Demonstrations . Only the NEW Shaolin world. Thats ok.

hmmm if thats the case… my sifu was taught shaolin kung fu 30 years ago by leung li fu. so if only the modern ones, im sure i could scrape some up.

Had to turn it down ******..so now leaves the question…who’s doing the video and how much do you want for it? 
I am new to Kung fu and just started training with Hengxin in NYC. What is the competion like? What to they compete in–forms, sparring…?
Mortal,
Where are you training now. Haven’t seen you in awhile.
I will definitely be there can’t miss this
Gene…will there be some footage available to buy? Maybe Lipeng should look at that, I’m sure I’m not the only one interested…and extra $$ is extra $$ right …hell they should go whole hog and do payperview mainevent
Ps. has anyone else received their rules and details info??
Gene,
Are other legit shaolin lineages other than the current crop of monks allowed to participate? Or, is this more political stuff?
mickey
it’s not a political thing. there are several tournaments across the country that serve baksilum and other kung fu styles. this seems to be a first-time project to organize a unified competition for all those schools that practice songshan shaolin kung fu. things like xiao hong quan, tong bei, and perhaps some san shou component.
as gene said, as many monks as there are in the US, there really hasn’t been any ‘us songshan competition.’
just my thoughts 
This tournament should be a lot of fun. Most of the shaolin schools in the USA are invited. Hopefully all will show up. A group of about 10 of Li Peng’s European students will be coming. You can get more information by contacting Li Peng on his website.
