the one I found was up here on the NS somewheres… didnt seem to apealing to me tho. [/B]
I just found it http://www.swshaolin.com/san_antonio.html. that might have been will parkers school. My school is small hard to find if you’re interested I can get you the info.
SD
There’s Shuai Chiao and Long Fist. My understanding is that the man I’m talking about is also an accomplished Savate player. The emphasis is on San Shou and fighting.
Not really interested in taking wing chun, But Im always looking for new people and styles to spar with. Im in the process of setting up a “fight night” at my house… Only allowing my friends with blackbelts to join in… (havent started yet because Im in the process of testing how much attitude they all have, dont want someone getting hurt because someone else lost control…) I actually would like to go watch one of your classes however. If youre interested just PM me.
no sh!t? theres a longfist school here?
Youve gone and confused me 
8 drunken immortal society is in san fransisco…

check your PM
but what if im drunk AND immortal? Ill stumble in with an empty whisky bottle for proof! 
wish we did wear shoes and wraps I hate those ****ed karate Gi’s… And I dont know why Tai Chi gets to wear regular frog button uniforms. Maybe they never taught Tai Chi when it was taught in “Japan”…
Can’t miss a chance to jump on a shaolin do thread (somehow I miss them, seems like they used to be a fixture). I started out in shaolin do, quit and went to study under the system run by Sin The’s brother, Hiang The’ (which is NOT shaolin do and is not associated at all with them). None of the bs, and everyone was much friendlier. Now I’m doing bjj and judo exclusively (I had crosstrained on and off while studying under Hiang)
I studied under Sin The’s senior student, Bill Leonard. When I was there, we were strictly forbidden to train at any other schools. Also we were forbidden to go to any non shaolin do seminars without permission. Not to mention Bill Leonard would often vehemently express his extreme right wing opinions on gun control and abortion. I believe in freedom of speech and all, but leave that outside the school. But that’s beside the point. I remember him telling the class once that any blackbelt who left the system should be considered ‘dead’ (his words not mine) and they weren’t to be spoken to. And when anyone would do a takedown in sparring, they had to stop and get back up, he would bark “this isn’t wrestling”. Uh, ok.
Anyway, there is all kinds of crap that Sin The’ lies about, not to mention when he tried to sue a student that had learned from both him and his brother, to try and keep him from teaching the material. That he had the material copyrighted somehow. Obviously, the case was dismissed. Hiang matched Sin’s note for note on the material in court, and had notes for things Sin didn’t, including such rudimentary things as the green belt short stick form. Oh yeah, tai peng sin kune is only the first part of a three part form, but
Sin doesn’t know the rest so only the first part is taught. But yet, he does have 900 forms, right?.
But Sin’s lies don’t stop at the 900 forms (the # of forms being claimed has gone up over the years by the way), but his rank (tested only to 5th degree), the structure of the school in Indonesia (it was not called shaolin do, that is an invention of Sin, it was called the Central Shaolin Academy or something to that effect), the fact his teacher was his grandfather, when his grandfather died, etc etc.
My biggest question has always been, if you know at least parts of what Sin The’ is saying isn’t true (I’ve seen more and more people admit to it, including blackbelts) why do you stay? There are so many schools out there that teach stuff that is just as good or probably even better. How can anyone stay with an instructor they know is lying? If he’s lying about one thing, what else is he lying about? Just a curious thought. I really don’t have a dog in the fight anymore and could care less. Still, the naiveté and general attitude of shaolin-do people still amuse me to no end.
You know what? My boyfriend has studied for seven years. He’s done Wing Chun, Long Fist, and Crane. I need to go back to the SD class and give a shout out to my peeps. I can’t really go back fully but I miss everybody and want to say hi. And I still have my membership.
I’ll bring my man to a class with me. Sifu wouldn’t change anything for him. He doesn’t really need to recruit students. So it’ll be a regular old class. And I’ll let you know what his impressions are.
As Ive said before, different shaolindo schools are ran differently… the Sifu here in town really is an Excellent teacher… In fact, no matter how amazing another kung fu school here is, Id probably stay just because of how much I enjoy kung fu under this sifu. When I said to him yesterday that I planned to go compete in Ft. Worth, he just smiled. We had a black belt go train at another school for a year, came back and was openly accepted…
hehe… Eulerfan - You an San antonio Kung Fuer?
lol… naked shaolin do… I think its called Kama Sutra…
err… Kama Sutra-Do.
Er… Not sure. Ill Probably do 14th white crane, Green Dragon Broadsword, and san shou fighting. The San Shou is full contact yes? even face?
If you’re going to be at the Taiji Legacy, look for John Wang’s group. I think he will be doing a Shuai Chiao seminar there as well as San Shou and jacket wrestling.
Well…whenever Grounddragon gets into the act, I too must join the party. BTW, GD it’s good to hear something outta you, you been hiding on JMA boards exclusively now or somethin’? 
I’ve recently heard a few of Senior Master Leonard’s reasons for not wanting to mix styles. Apparently, a pretty big player in the aikido scene came and learned a few staff forms from SM Leonard, soon after quitting and announcing to his students that he’d been to China and picked up some new things to show them.
Not the first time he’s been burned like that, and I guess he just got tired of it. My instructor actually has been known to plan seminars with instructors from other styles, wanting us to get as many different stylistic viewpoints as possible.
ghth,
we’ve actually done naked conditioning. It wasn’t as sexy as I thought it would be. Dude does crunched starting from half-way up then to all the way up and back to halfway up. Push ups on the backs of his hands. Took all the fun out of being naked, having to do that sh!t. Perhaps forms would be better.
SD,
I’m in Houston. Is your sifu that blond guy, had a beard or maybe it was a goatee? Did he compete in Round Rock the fall before last and win with his drunken kata? 'Cuz, if so, that guy is QUITE an athlete. It was the only thing at that tournament that really impressed me and, I mean, my jaw was on the floor.
Well, not the only thing. That dude who broke a short piece of wood on his adam’s apple was pretty hard core, too. I think. That can’t be easy.

That’s what I’m saying.
His hair is kinda dirty blonde, Im pretty sure that is who you are talking about. Drunken boxing is his favorite thing to do… Ive heard about how the other schools are ran and it apalls me… Our school is most definately not ran how Ive heard of most other SD going…
