No need to travel to Shaolin!

When you can train with Monk Shindo! True, he’s not Chinese (or Asian at all, for that matter) yet he studied for 2 WHOLE YEARS!!!as a Shaolin monk in an underground Shaolin Temple in Asia. Surely he must be well trained in all the forms and weapon sets of Shaolin, right??? After all, “Shindo is listed as a recognized Kung Fu master in international Kung Fu Magazine” so he must be legit!

Another Shi Yan Ming. Shi Yan Ming is better by having more years, but its all the same kind of crap you’d learn if you did go to shaolin.

That dude looks like a Shaolin fighting nerd.

The Tai Chi looks interesting as well.

Ahh, the infamous crouching water cooler technique !

What’s the deal with the Monks??

Ching Chong Fist
anyone…

Hey, give the guy a break. He didn’t claim to be the best, only the “most inspirational”! :slight_smile:

You guys have clearly never studied at a hidden shaolin temple outside of China, or you would not speak so hastily.

I myself studied for 2 years and a month at the underground shaolin temple in the harsh backroads of Texarkana, and I can tell you, few can take such nice nature photographs as us underground shaolin adepts. Little tip though: shave your head while you’re still in the shower, that way you don’t get any unsightly rashes.

Oh yes he did!

Master Shin Do built his reputation as an undefeated competitor in numerous championships

NP-

I totally agreee with you . It’s the first time I ever heard of a Ching Chong fist.:smiley: However it sounds vaguely familiar to a form taught in a false shaolin school, that in actually is very bad kempo, in Colombia which I happened to come across when I was made to move there. It think I have it on a very bad(quality) video that the “si-tai” let me borrow, that I kept eventually, where he does a form called “chimmy chuan” and a staff form ,which is hard to hear when he called out the name, called chan wan ching. I find it wierd since my grandmasters (deceased) older kung fu brother’s name is Chan Wah Ching.

Let’s dissect this:

Born in Italy, he began his practice of the martial arts at the age of seven. Since then, he has studied an array of disciplines, including Tai Chi Chuan, Wushu Total Fight, Wing Chun, Jung Gar, Pa Kua Chuan, Ching Chong Fist, Chi Gong, Sam Bu Do, and Wu-Tang. He earned the Shaolin Gong Fu Black Belt Superior Grade after ten years of intense study. The power Master Shin Do gained during his 2 ½ years of study at the monastery won him the sobriquet, “Terrible Monk.”

The following styles causes me to raise an eyebrow:

Wu shu total fight- the name says it all

Jung Gar- Never heard of it. Have heard of hung gar,li gar, mok gar, lau gar, choy gar, chu gar praying mantis (southern), and lyn gar but not that.If jung gar is the same as jong then it means dummy family.

Ching chong fist- This one is too easy.

Sam Bu Do- In Cantonese this means 3 foot (not as in length but as in actual foot) sword.

Lastly wu tang- Ok now if wu tang is totally different style taughtoutside of shaolin then how did he learn it unless he was at a taoist tmple?

He earned the Shaolin Gong Fu Black Belt Superior Grade after ten years of intense study.

Belts were invented for the Japanese art of Judo by Jigoro Kano and later adopted by other Japanese styles. I don’t think that the black belt superior grade actually exists, I heard 10th dan take like more than a decade and beyod to get.

Master Shin Do built his reputation as an undefeated competitor in numerous championships.

Right, just like Iron C. Kim is undefeated in all of Asia along with others.

His life has undergone a fundamental transformation since the temple. Prior to the temple, Shin Do’s life was filled with fighting. But through his real training as a Buddhist Fighting Monk, he learned compassion and ultimately learned how not to fight.

That paragraph makes absolutely no sense.

Well after looking at his pictures and especially his “mantis stance” I have come to the conclusion that Master Shin Do is just another kempo stylist trying to pass for a kung fu stylist.

i guess you can be a monk in your heart.
