trademarking of culture for profit
Actually I'm not surprised. In the mad rush to
re-invent tradtional Shaolin for profit this is all to be expected. See the articles below (my apologies for reposting them) but the trademark issue is all part of the big picture. On that note see more reactions to the attempt to trademark “shaolin wushu” in Canada http://www.shaolinwushu.com/articles I'll post the translations soon

It would be great to see more of his work in the ezine, although hopefully all the content isn't as depressing.
Actually, last I heard...
... Antonio secured his book deal. :cool:
