You may do as you wish but let me tell you a little bit about Shaolin Do. Its founder is Sin The' who claims to be the grandmaster of the system. I've heard stories about him that he self promoted himself (I don't know if this is true or not though). He supposedely was given this title by Greatgrandmaster I Chang Ming. I find it funny though that he left for China a 8th degree and came back 2 months later a 10th degree black belt and the new Grandmaster. I Chang Ming had died so know one could really verify any of this. His schools all wear Japanese Gi's. They wear the Japanese Belts. They use Japanese terminology such as dojo and sensei. Grandmaster Sin is from Indonesia. He has over 100 schools world wide. It's basically a McDojo operation. Grandmaster Sin claims to know and have mastered over 600+ forms. Thats unbelievable!!!! I'll let you make your own mind about this Shaolin Do art. If interested please google it and do some research for yourself if you don't believe me. I'm curious as to what everyone else thinks about it. |
Perhaps he was simply acknowledging that Japanese arts are superior to the Chinese? I'm not saying they are; I'm just restating a very popular and scientifically proven notion.
