I was in Chinatown (nyc) today and noticed a flyer for Shi Hengxin(who has been assisting Shi Guolin for the past few years). Does anyone know if he is leaving the Flushing school to start his own joint?
According the Chen Taiji Master Ren Guangyi, Shi Hengxin has indeed left Shi Guolin’s school and struck out on his own. Master Ren called us yesterday and said that the leave was not prompted by anything negative. It was just time for him to leave. Perhaps Hengxin snatched the pebble from Guolin’s palm.
Whatever the case, NY has way to many Shaolin Monk run schools and should really think about sharing with the rest of the country…
We could shoot them with traqulizers while they sleep and put them in a cage to transport to IL. Then before the drugs have completely worn off release them in the city. Once they bcome used to their sorroundings they would start teaching as that is the way of the Shaolin species.
Thanks for the info. Did you happen to get any contact info for Hengxin? Does anyone know where hes living or planning to reopen? He is really unbelievable and I think it is a shame for Guolins school and students. But I’m sure everything will be fine. Guolin is a great teacher and I’m very happy for Hengxin to start something for himself.
The school’s phone number is on their web page (http://www.shaolin-overseas.org), if you’re that curious you could just call them.
Is anyone gonna be at the open house this Saturday? It will be interesting so see what that’s like without Hengxin. I’m going to train at Goulin’s school next year, so it’s a damn shame. Perhaps Goulin will bring over another monk like he did Hengxin.
