It's cool, I tend to get hyper in discussions and come off sounding like i'm being harsh or angry. Anyway, it's more syntax than anything. Shaolin kung fu is essentially taught and studied as...

I'm not saying Hung Gar isn't very very strongly based in certain aspects of traditional Shaolin kung fu, that would be just, stupid. I'm saying that Hung Gar is *not* Shaolin kung fu. They're...

Actually I wanna make more clear that I don't think a lot of the insane traning goes on, like what we saw in Master Killer, but I do think there are some monks who can do all the Qigong we see in the...
