I've been training long fist at a traditional school for about three years now; to be good at defending yourself, you have to train the applications of your techniques and then you have to spar enough to learn how to read your opponent and react accordingly. What dude said about kung fu not being about fighting and that its all about control is BS. Every movement in a traditional for contains a combat application which can be drilled, and must be if you expect to defend yourself.

it doesn't mean that you are learn from china,  you become a monk.

I know u're trying to look cool but first u need to be "urself". U need to create the Ahmet Metthew "Gong Fu spirit or style". What style u choose, must be "unique" to only YOU. Like Shi De Jian's Gong Fu. It's unique. Stop plegiarising popular styles cuz it won't make u anymore Shaolin mate.

[34thshaolinstudent]

Now @ Matthew. Why r u so obsessed with the wheel of life scenery LOL? You know what I mean? It's pathetic - just do a differrent Tao Lu mate cuz it's so obvious ur plegiarizing. Appart from the short Da Hong LOL. Why r u copycatting someone els's modified Da Luohan Quan mate? Laughs. U can still look cool doing a different Ditang set mate.

Shut the fuck up @ xiaolintraditional90 - these guys are just as good - the problem with twats like u; is u just can't accept that a wastern person can be a Shaolin monk. If a Chinese person can be Muslim or fucking Christian, why shouldn't a western be a Monk?

[NinjaZMAN]

Nice.

Whoa, I cannot disagree. You know alot. Due to lack of time, my commnet sounds blatant or sarcasting, but that is irrelevant. See you!

[xiaolintraditional90]

True, there are some monks who do know traditional style sholin but only a handful, most younger generation monks only know shaolin wushu. The thing that angers me the most is that the abbot is turning shaolin into a circus, a business. He recently spent millions of $ to build restrooms in shaolin, and started a website that sells shaolin stuff. what about shaolin medicine? What's ironic is that he allow his monks to perform worldwide but refuses to allow monks to perform at the olympics.

[MaBu888]

I agree with you almost completely. However, as something very interesting: wushu chang quan is actually based on traditional northern white crane somewhat. Still, wushu has exactly such an influence on shaolin as you state. I hate that as much as you do. Also, I don't practice shaolin. I was, however aware, that some shaolin monks who are less associated with guoshu shaolin in terms of practice, who practice xinyi ba, da hong quan, and dozens of others traditional taolu/styles.
