Hello, my knowledge comes from training in traditional kung fu. i first  
learned shaolin, then hsing-i and pa kua, then tai chi. along the way i  
studied many other arts and styles too numerous to list. use of chi is  
taught through these arts i have mentioned. as far as listing ranks and  
lineage, i am here to help you along and not to provide you a lengthy  
resume’. there is no substitute for real dojo training. this offering  
is  
meant to be extra curricular for you. thanks, Roy

That’s great NP! Not only will this guy NOT give you his “resume’”, he’s totally avoiding your questions. Anyone besides me think this has something to do with “Da Shifu” or Sin The’?? HA HA HA!!

Apparently L Ron Hubbard is not dead.

hahaha.

Gee, I’ll answer questions for free! FREE!  
Not that I know anything, nor do I really care if I had past lives or if I’ll have new ones in the future, but…

peace

The Enlightened One Responds

I couldn’t believe the load of bull this guy was shoveling in his auction, so I emailed him. Below is my email followed by his response. Note my comments are in [brackets].

My Email:  
Online mentor! Oh- that’s good! Only 27 dollars! And a flaky description. Oh, can I pay 40 bucks?! 50 dollars?! What the heck kind of scam are you playing?

[maybe a little harsh, but I couldn’t help it]

His Response:  
Dear MOKUJIN [I changed the original name to protect the guilty],  
There is no scam here. Any one who asked was given my 30 year history in traditional shaolin, hsing-i, pa kua, and tai chi. I told myself if i had one negative response i would withdraw the offer so that’s what i have done. The money is nothing but a token of sincerity. I hope you have not deprived some little brother of learning how to circulate breath during meditation or how to get more power in their techniques.This was just a little experiment  
in seeing who would respond. You have an anger issue ( the punisher? [my eBay name]) that may be keeping you from recieving positive energy.

Huh? Anger issues? :mad: For five extra bucks he’ll be your psychiatrist, too! 😃

Peace!  
Mokujin

That’s pretty funny, but it’s not up there with that auction where the guy was offering to come to your house and kick your ass, as long as you’d pay the transportation fees. The funniest part was it got about 10 bids 😃

What do you think?

I just got my relply for this joker.

“Hi, answers: no i was not kidding except the astral plane part was meant to be humorous. - never was in a straight jacket - i am not concerned with SELF respecting, just trying to reach out and help a student on a one to one. If someone makes an instructional video tape he does not get this kind of chastisement, why is one on one so wrong? Ebay is where I spend my time and they have a category where people seek instruction. I have no bad intent for anyone. Perhaps you could also ask what kind of teacher charges for lessons in a dojo. People do not always value that which is given for free. - sorry to have ruffled your feathers. Are you a real sifu ?”

What kills me here is that to charge $30.00 to ask three questions is the equivalent of chargeing $300.00 for a private lesson. Its a scam.

Hey guys,

Even “real” kung fu masters gotta eat.  
I wonder how many groceries he can buy with his profits?

This sounds to me like Miss Cleo’s phone line is not bringing in enough funds so she is expanding to online auctions.

Did anybody email this fruitcake and invite him to participate in these forums? I personally would like to see what he has to say.

On the other hand, maybe not.
