With the influx of Shaolin-Do practicioners and the flood of threads relating to Shaolin-Do shouldn’t those guys get their own forum by now.
Or do we simply move them do the ORA one? 
Most of the SD guys I found rather pleasant to talk too, personally I feel that we have way too many SD threads going.
What’s your thoughts.
Way too many for a cma board 
We do have too many threads going. We have our own forum and, for good or bad, that is how so many new people are finding out about this place.
KL subsumed all the SD threads into one mega thread once before. That’s a good idea to do again.
Can it be a members only club? I dont know if I can handle asking a question and having it run off topic…not that that happens or anything…hehehe…
It could just be called the “lets all play nice” forum!
Ben
i think a better name for it would be “ignorance is bliss” forum
hey can we get a forum for Volcano Admim?
while we are on the topic of forums, here’s an interesting forum…
http://www.mullins-shaolin.com/message/viewforum.php?f=2
From that forum:
"we have invited them to the tournament. they have always asked why we don’t have any open ones and here’s one for them. but alas, many of the cowards in kfo are nowhere to be found (they don’t even list their locations or their styles, but will bicker about SD and KY!). that one guy serpent talks trash from australia, and another guy from washington. "
Look Serpent, we’re famous!!!..uh…Again!!!
Written by the meecer from the Mullins forum:
Figured I would throw this up since I’ve seen a few posters from here pop up in the KFO forums. Don’t use the tablets placed at the Shaolin temple as proof of our art and our grandmaster’s authenticity. It is an honor that the tablet has been placed there and even more so at the Fukien temple since it is the first. But these tablets are placed after a sizable donation has been made to the temple. Many other schools have tablets placed as well, even non Chinese schools. The biggest honor is that the head abbot would take time out of his schedule to spend with GM Sin. Another big honor is the story related on Master Schaefer’s site where the old masters told us our art looks like what they were taught years ago.
Oh man this is too easy…like shooting fish in a barrel.
Good idea…meecer…you wouldn’t want to use that argument because it is crap. Better think of some other ones.
LOL, yea there are a few gems on there.
i like this one personally, by themeecer:
Problem is I have gotten fed up with them of late. After going to the tourney and spending so much time with GM Sin at the seminar I have come to the conclusion that most of the KFOers are bunch of whiney babies that do not deserve an ounce more of my time. I have friends on here that are all worried about making our art more appealing to current kung fu students of other arts. I could give a flying flip about them. We don’t need them and sure as heck don’t need their approval. We have an unending amount of new students out there and have no reason to worry about a few people that doubt our lineage. Most of it stems from jealousy; they don’t even have a fraction of what we teach so they try to discredit us. Take heart that you are studying the most comprehensive art in the world with a direct link to the Shaolin temple. Fortunately our art left China before the 1950s or we would all be studying wushu instead of the pure art we have now.

This was posted by themeecer over there…lol
I’m not trying to pick on you man… but that is kind of funny. Again your lack of knowledge of cma is rediculous. Just because this or that art came out of China after a certain point it is wushu?
Whatever man.
tcma should look a lot like wushu, as they have all similar techs. because (shockingly) wushu is based on what… tcma… holy crap, what a concept.
As far as pure, don’t even get into that, it might be pure Shaolin do, but the lack of resemblance to other southern shaolin based systems is what I question.
hey you posted what I posted!
LOL, that forum is a hoot…
I could take 'em. And I suck.
posted by trilobite… speaking of us. the KFOers… apperantly we all suck because we don’t study the “most comprehensive martial art”..
I was hoping that someone could give us a list of what our forms are supposed to look like. What is it that we do, that we arent supposed to be doing? What are other cma styles doing that we dont do? Thanks!
Ben
ps. If anyone in the NY area (Ithaca here) wants to get together sometime and school me as to how its supposed to be done, I would love to see it, and hear what you have to say!
its funny that usually there is only one and often zero guest at the mullins forum…now there are five. Are you guys enjoying yourselves?
I could comment on the Xingyi forms…
But I am sure some of you SD’ers will say "Well…how do you know?..have you seen every Xingyiquan style there is out there? (In fact, I have)..etc.
Others will say that I have jumped into the ‘SD Bandwagon’.
So, man, if you want my honest opinion, you can ask me privately.
I’ve recently worked out with a SDer, who was a good martial artist, I’ve also done taiji with some, one who actually knew what was going on, but from what I’ve seen, a lot of there stuff needed a lot of work and it seemed they weren’t getting the time in that should be dedicated to an art like that. I wouldn’t do SD, thats all, I’m just saying though… there is a reason why the comtemporary chang chuan looks the way it does… same with the nan chuan, they were originally based on tcma… oh, and your forums are great…

I already did that in the thread I started.
Sorry, I couldnt find anywhere that describes the difference in what our forms look like and what other traditional cma forms look like. If you have already written this out, would you please direct me to it?
Ben
No, Northern Practitioner, you just suck PERIOD. Again you diss a style and laugh about it like you’re doing it jokingly. What are you, a politician? You try and hide your biased opinion on an art you have no idea about (except what you read somewhere, and you’re just trying to be “cool” and jump in with the loser-crowd.)
NP, you’re a flaming idiot, along with the other idiots like Fool-Pow.

YEAH, BECAUSE THEY’RE A BUNCH OF FLY THROUGH THE AIR MORONS WITH EMBROIDERY KICKS AND LIMP-D!CK PUNCHES LOL
