They are very good, but they only know contemporary routines and some sanda kickboxing. I had students who trained under a well-known 'Shaolin Monk' in NY come to me, because they wanted to learn how to fight. The "Monk's" knowledge of actual application was very limited, to say the least.
3-there is no internal and external. Internal was a phrase that Sun Lu=Tang used in an article to describe Hsing-Yi, Ba-Kua, and Tai-Chi-Ch'uan-nie jia-internal schools. Now it is a catch-phrase used by "internal arts" snobs, who are holier than thou. ALL traditional Martial Art is internal. If you say otherwise, you simply don't understand Martial Arts. Period.
4-Hsing-Yi did not come from Shaolin, and NO, it did not come from Wudang either, niether did Ba-Kua or Tai-Chi-Ch'uan. | Wow-someone I can relate to.....

| Because when family and friends started to call me old buzzard years ago, I had to learn about myself.
