Dale,
Dont you have more productive things to do than to respond to this kids every post?
As far as so rim, I dont know the history well anymore, but have been working on acquiring the details I used to have (if you actually care, I can provide them soon). So rim does mean shaolin in Korean, and probbly named that since the style was adapted primarily, as I know it, from a Korean instructor (I trained under one of his students) that trained in China for several years. It definitely has all the same stances and names as other CMA styles, and the same types of movements and forms as other branches of PM. Albeit, obscure, it is definitely PM kung fu. If you have any other questions, probably good to keep them to PM to keep the thread on topic…
