okay Guys Thanks some Good points but I think we NEED to remember that Not All People are aCEESSED to the ORIGINAL chinese TEACJINGS - so Many Were Corrupted by America.
the Others Lost forever? I Hope not!!! LOL
But Even if It’s not a 100% accurate from Shaolin at Least is has kung fu ideas and REpresents the Spirit of Kung Fu so I agree with it.

Did one of them hit you? 
My personal opinion of shaolin do is that it is at best a mix of styles. At worst it is a made up modern style made with limited knowledge of the more respected styles that it copies. It has nothing to do with real shaolin or just about anything it claims to teach.
Just my opinion, naturally.
Joedoe— I’m pretty sure that being hit by one of these guys would barely tickle, let alone cause internal damage. I could be wrong though.
any organisation that lies is worthless, that how i see it
all i know is its taken me 4 years to learn wing chuns 3 hand forms, and the wooden dummy. i would not say i have mastered these enough to be able to teach someone them to a deep level of understanding, i’m getting there, but im not there yet. i train hard and practice often. to really know a form takes a lot of hard work and effort. to collect a form takes neither.
my sifu always says “i could teach you all the wing chun forms in 2 weeks, but you wouldnt know anything”
knowing 250 forms worth of motions but not being able to apply any of them seems worthless to me. back to the old (and one of my favorite sayings):
fear not the man who practices 100 punches 10 times, but the man who practices 1 punch 1000 times.
perhaps shaolin-do is kung fu for people with ADD? got bored with that first form in 30 seconds? we got another one for you! since the GM knows 900 forms, we got enough to keep you satisfied for 27000 seconds! (thats like 45 minutes!)
i don’t have a very high opinion of shaolin-do, especially if you’re taking it to learn how to fight or defend yourself. if you want to learn some acrobatics or flashy forms to show people, ala wushu, its not horrible i guess.
lol…
“if someone from shaolin-do hit me it would probably tickle”
Master mullins does one finger board breaking demos at tourneys…
and as for myself… hehehe.
Anyhow, even as a student, Shaolin-Do is kindof a pegwork artform, but if you put as much into it as some of us do, then you will start to get more of a “blackout” if you will, on the pegboard… Sorry… its still early, I havent had my coffee, and thats the best analogy I can offer. 
and Joedoe- dont worry about it. Was being a wanker as well.. hadnt had my coffee that morning either… im sure quitting cigs dont help either…
hey Shaolin-Do, where are you in texas?
I believe the forms done were black tiger claws the heart, and one of the drunken immortals.
I practice in San Antonio.
cough
bullshlt
Nasty cough you’ve got there. Hope it’s not sars.
Shaolin Do, I’ll be in San An for the first 2 weeks in July. Would you be interested in working out? I’m also planning on moving out there so I’m looking for work. I’m on finance but not too particular about that right now. I’ll do pretty much anything just to get down there.
I’ve never heard of black tiger claws the heart. Not saying it’s not real, just I’ve never heard of or seen it. Any other shaolin guys know of it?
One more thing, apologies for forgetting to address this earlier,
there is enormous emphasis on stance work at our school, and power is generated from the waist for the most part, but as Ive said before, different strokes for different folks, different sifu’s run schools differently. I cant speak for the actions and abilities of people you have all watched in the past, the ******* using a broadsword like a katana… ect… The only thing I can do is take some people to compete in the tourney up in ft. worth… As for sars… what exactly does it do to you? (just curious) havent done much reading lately as the war just depresses me.
lol gthomason… i know that was smart asses towards me but it was funny anyways.
everytime I read your name i think ghetto mason… maybe its the mild dislexia…
waterdragon - certainly would be more than happy to workout. I have a full gym at my house as a matter of fact… Just pm me to get info… Sorry to say tho, if you dont like SD and want “authentic” kung fu here… The wing chun school here seemed kinda weak… thats all there is else to offer. All the specialty schools are up in austin. (pm, ying jow pai, ect…)
I’ll hit you up later for the info. If you like what I do, I can make some introductions for you. There is some good Gong Fu in San An.
Sounds good. Do you know what styles are to be found here? As for schools…Ive searched high and low, and SD is all ive found really. You said you are headed down in july, yes? … I think we are doing a demo that month… Even if not, I can show you some SD to get your opinion on whether or not its gong fu.
SD I might’ve missed it in the earlier posts, but where in san antonio is there a shaolin do school? I don’t remember seeing any. Styles here there’s at least 2 WC schools, A Hsing yi instructor and Kali.
Its off of Nacogdoches/Thousand oaks. Do you practice at the wing chun school here in town?
