I aint got pissed off of anyone but i am so pissed off because of your derogatory comments. you can not even hold a discussion or debate normally. you tend to swear unnecessarily. you are likely to have coprolalia.

@shobyms ...I didn't say it wasn't related, i simply said they're different and 18 lohan hands is just a fucking exercise. And how the fuck did you come to the conclusion that the 18 ASSHAT is the basis of Kung Fu. You're just pulling these info's out of your ASS without any credible factual proof. So how does it prove that Bodhi fucking taught Kung Fu when Kung Fu is more than an exercise & stretching, tell me how. My swearing is just an expression, can't handle it, then GTFO.

@gbb357 is it? look at what wikipedia says then.. it shows clearly how indian arhats related to lohan 18 hands.. what is shaolin damo then? is not it from bodhi damo? hehe.. read my others posts well,it is more than enough to do a further research on this topic.. your postings lack logic and you rely on swearing when you argue..so it is completely manipulative to suppress.. ( classic sign of suppression online = swearing against the opponent"s comment"

CHINA = jAHNANA/DHYANA.. SANSKRIT WORD IS CINA. pls do a wikipedia serach type etymology. check 18 arhats on wiki, you will find it came from buddhism in china.it compares 18 indian terms to chinese. so no point in there while arguing it existed before.atleast you need to agree that buddhism introduced 18 hands. so your claims are invalid when you say "it existed before" ..otherwords no chance to exist before buddhism.. Only bodydharma did it ( dedcutive reasoning)because he went there.

BTW, this guy was pissed off at ChrisCrudelli during one of the episodes of KickAss Miracles. Chris pretty much embarrassed this guy by insisting & suggesting that kalaripayatu & his teachings specifically is not original and is only a copy of different other martial arts.

Ying Yang = Indian Swastika.. nothing else..no ying yand , no tai chi internal arts..lol

[shobyms]

YEA, monk created lol.. and named it in Sankrit where Monks can only speak Chinese.. lmao..... Chinese monks named it as ARHAT ? ahaha and why it is 18 as same as in kalari?

what is SHAOLIN DAMO CANE THEN? why it is DAMO ? who is it ? Why it is related to Bodhi ? Just for a respect ?

Argument against Yi Jin Jing is an allegation then only It favours Chinese. This case has not been taken internationally but Chinese Scholars.No wonder what a Chinese Scholar would do.

[angryaznman]

stop lying to make yourselves feel better about your sad history. how can something as big as bodhi transferring kung fu not have ONE credible record? not ONE indian source AT ALL?

how come its ONLY SOURCE was regarded by scholars of its time (Qing) as written by "AN IGNORANT VILLAGE MASTER"?
