Chinese Culture Center in ABQ?

[redsandpalms]

I wanted to get some opinions of the Chinese Culture Center in ABQ. I have heard some upsetting talk about the CCC and its practices and teachings in Albuquerque. I am just curious if any of the other forum members have any opinions on this school and its ways.

Well I was living in ABQ for a couple of years and i lived right across the street from his gwoon. his gwoon is on Adams st if i am not mistaken. i have seen the classes first hand and i have met Master Lin. he seems to be a very traditional guy and a bit hard edge(which comes with the traditionalism i see in him). from what i see it seems to be a good school if one were wanting to get into northern longfist. they do the nine ring conditioniong and their sparring is somewhat weird.. but for myself, coming from a southern cma background, it is just a difference of tactics and methodology. what are the things that are being said about what Master lin is doing/or not doing?
