1st Shaolin Summit & SANA

[wenshu]

It was quite the spectacle. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I have since come to the realization that I am one of my school's token laowai! Even so, it was an honor to make a few nervous remarks at the Abbot's banquet.

Gene, it was great meeting Gigi and you! I hope my manners were not to anxiously perfunctory.

I'll put up some photos after some post processing; the white balance settings on my camera were all messed up so I have to adjust each one.

We'll be bald monks soon, wenshu. Maybe even our next lifetime!

Nice find on the vid. Did he say 'idealistical'?

It was a real pleasure meeting you and your girlfriend. I must say that it is very refreshing to meet a forum member who is very active and enthusiastic in the arts and approaches it intelligently, as opposed to the flame-flinging we get around here so often. No worries about being the token laowai. You can actually get ****her on that than I could. No Chinese school needs a token ABC.

The comment section has erupted into a flame war between the Temple City, Sherman Oaks and USSD schools. It is just like here, only without the pedantic erudition and absurdist humor.

Someone actually said they were going to report another's behavior to the Abbot. That's very funny.

Bodhidharma created qi gong and kung fu. TRUE FACT.

@ShaolinDiva: It was great meeting you too. The name Bad Ass Bunny comes from the Grandmaster Tu documentary project. Tu is a ****phone for bunny in Chinese (but I know you already know that). As for my blue bag, I have dozens of monk bags from Shaolin. That's the only one that has a zipper that has survived. You know how Chinese zippers can be. The blue one actually has really cool side zippers.

@wenshu: Glad you pointed out that flame war to me. It's our first YouTube vid to go there. It actually seems kind of tame compared to some of the ones here. Noobs.

We'll have a full video report next week, courtesy of Bad Ass Bunny. We were just to swamped this week with our our tournament preparations.
