I think considering there is a lot of sparring going on between China and the west, the flag raising ceremony among religious temples/churches is done to show solidarity. Even if it’s odd and being...
I will miss the Shaolin specials the most. Gene, you were definitely a voice to the west for the Shaolin Temple along with the Songshan Shaolin masters that moved and opened schools here in the US....

Some of the Shaolin schools do live-streaming on Facebook or instagram...
Not here in the state’s unless the close down quarantine period is extended for fitness gyms and martial arts schools. It is possible for foreigners who travel to China to learn Shaolin or other...
It depends what spectacle means for certain people. It can be good or bad. I found real shaolin Kung fu around 1998. I found a songshan shaolin school and thought I had discovered gold. Before 1998...
I tried jiu Jitsu for a year, but always found myself coming back to Shaolin. It’s what makes me feel the best and really keeps me in shape. My current regimen under a Shaolin master is this:

I have seen Ranton’s videos on you tube and just know of him through that. Seems like a personable guy. He has videos up about his time at Shaolin. He was lucky enough to live there for 3 years (and...
Hey Wiz cool c. What you speak of is the very essence and yes mystery of Shaolin Kung Fu. It’s not mystical but rather an undefined gray area. I can relate to you, being a practitioner myself of...
I believe whatever style you are training in (shaolin, TKD, jiu Jitsu, etc.) is 100% what you make of it. Nothing will ever replace the hours and sweat of training but definitely mind and attitude...
Checking in a little late here but to the best of my knowledge the Shaolin Schools survived the great flood. It was mainly the areas that backed up to bayous, levees, and the dams that really got...
Cali is starting to become a little Deng Feng. So many shaolin schools there now. Curious though, where did the author get the number 600 for the shaolin masters in the world?? :confused:
Yea. Interesting guy to say the least. I saw him on America's Got Talent show too
master Qi Feilong
That's pretty funny Gene! :D
In a fight, yes of course the bottom line always comes down to who is better prepared. It is why I frown upon which is the best fighting style to learn debates. You can have a shaolin fighter vs a...
Funny no one mentioned training martial arts/kung Fu for health. I wouldn't classify that as a hobby but a way of life.
The Shaolin issue is THE issue and always my favorite each year hands down. It's sort of the update of what's going on in the Shaolin community and it's always great to hear updates on you Gene. I...
I see your point and agree to an extent. I am not saying cross training is bad but based on what you said, MMA to me represents martial arts being done "good enough" at a high level. Is an MMA...
You didn't like Houston?
I think Dallas has better attendance. Right now everything is MMA and Tae kwon do
in Houston. Kung fu is sort of a sleepy community at the moment
The history of shaolin is not anymore "embellished" than say.....the bible? Or perhaps other martial arts history about different styles? :confused:
Happy New Year r.(shaolin). Always nice seeing a post from ya. :)
In the day and age of remakes and prequels I am not surprised to see this. I wouldn't mind seeing another movie about Shaolin but I have mixed feelings of seeing a remake of the original Shaolin...
Hey Shaolin1, just curious...did you fly on the first flight from Houston to beijing that was on the news? Its a direct flight now from here to China!
Ngokfei, christian priests and pastors strive to follow rules like that as well. Noone can ever be born to adhere to these principles and never violate them. Its a daily lifestyle commitment. To sit...
eh...I get what you are saying but it's kind of absurd to make that much of a blanket accusation. I know you singled out Shaolin but I have read and seen countless stories of martial arts instructors...
