(as sin th’ looks into his crystal ball-the KFO forums)
u know, there r people on other forums who get a kick out of gettin the KF guys all worked up over here. how hard is it to get some books on shaolin forms, find a few pictures of master’s from ‘blackbelt’ magazine, find a black and white picture of chewbacca for ur grandteacher, and a picture of an asian body builder w/ a mullet practicing yoga??? i could duplicate that site in a week…
is it me, or does anyone else realize how much time is spent postin and less trainin?<ding> up, my egg timer’s up, enough postin for one day.. gotta get an early start on my TRAININ today! but u guys can stay here if u’d like, i need some amusement when i get back and u guys always always crack me up!(I HAVE THE STRENGTH OF A BEAR, THAT HAS THE STRENGTH OF TWO BEARS!!!-shaolin do) bro, i couldn’t stop laughin!!!
Ahh, good ol sealab 2021. Great quote
Im here cause Im gettin paid to be here (im at work)
Train when I get home. Yes people do bicker constantly, redundantly, pointlessly, but Ive also learned a lot on here.
As for the mullet wearing asian body builder… That really is a picture of Sin. Regardless of what he says he knows, the man is in phenominal shape…
Originally posted by MasterKiller There is a huge difference between incorporating a complete system, or merely incorporating an individual form or two from a complete system.
JP, the actual quote from Seraph is “You do not truly know someone until you fight them.”
As for people who diss Shaolin-Do, just meet one of them, seriously. If you think SD is so freaking crappy, go to one of there schools, ask in a VERY polite and friendly manner to observe, maybe spar, with them etc. to see how they work. Don’t judge them until after you observe them.
Thanks for the correction. I guess if I was paraphrasing I shouldn’t have used quotes.
Also thanks for comments on looking before dissing. I appreciate that. If they view a class and still think its crap, at least they can state some constructive criticism.
Originally posted by brothernumber9 what was the purpose of incorporating 7* mantis forms amid 900 others? So as not to seem that I am being offensive, although I may be. It has been posted on these forums that Shaolin Do has 900+ forms and that Sin The knows all of them. How many were original shaolin forms? Does Sin The believe that 7* or any mantis for that matter originated in shaolin, or is it just the evolution of the system where some new things are incorporated as time goes by as the head of the system sees fit, or is it something else. I’ve never seen shaolin Do so I’m not bashing it, but for anyone to say they learned all shaolin had to teach, even a monk, its hard to believe.
GM Sin is aware of 7* origins and evolution and makes no claim to it originating in the temple. He spent nearly an hour in teaching the history and different views of the mantis system during his teachings on the system. If your interested in reading some of the stuff on this subject check out the ‘shaolin-do answers challenge’ thread it’s huge but the first several pages explains alot of the SD saga.
Also have you guys seen the new events page on the Shaolin-Do website? If not you should check it out, great trolling material! It actually says on the new seminar registration to “Please wear a traditional gi like Grandmaster Sin The’s to the seminar!”
