HOW TO BECOME A SHAOLIN MONK

[Steve]

Damn, almost forgot we made that almost 3 years ago.

[flow]

i absolutely love it

i absolutely love this "Shaolin Monk Starting Kit".

It is sooooooooooo close to the truth i don't even know if i should laugh to death or cry. Or maybe both together to make sure that i will die ironically as i deserve!

Seriously guys, forget about Shaolin, it's a brand, it's OVER, even for Chinese -since long...

At least i'm glad i read from objective people who can differenciate the taste of shit from the taste of honey.

[Inevitable]

haha got a couple, fake shifu's that might find this in handy

[tetsumaru]

Is this still avaiable for purchase?

Does russbo.com still receive these types of emails?

I understand where some of these people are coming from. I sent in my $50 registration to that school in Jilin...Oh yeah I got accepted.

People don't think about what they are doing. They are so blinded by the possiblity of something they want so bad might come true. Maybe that's how the "monks" here in the US feel. They got to (china/america). They are (getting paid/paying) for "SHAOLIN" training. If they continue just a little longer they can go and open up their own school and be monetarily self-sufficient.

There's something more I want to say about this but I can't get the proper wording yet...it's early.

Yes, it's kind of typical. But, with respect to that email, I think it refers to an individual who presents himself as being an "ordained Shaolin priest", one who runs his school as a religious "non-profit organization" (which is great for tax purposes), and allegedly lives with the ex-wife of one of his students, well, ex-student. We've had instances where their students have come to our school to learn for a bit, and then return to their own school to teach what we've taught them. I've been told through reliable sources that they go so far as to advertise to various fitness clubs in town, the fact that they teach the "same stuff" as "that school with the monk", because they train with him, and are "affiliated" with him.

It just gets more and more bizarre.

"My master, xxxx xxxxx has been teaching the only authentic and real Shaolin gong fu here in Las Vegas for many years. He is a fourth degree black belt in karate, having learned the Shaolin gong fu from a Chinese master in California many years ago. His master spent many years living at the Shaolin temple in Taiwan. My master is a real monk, and is the only direct and true descendant of Shaolin here in the US. I know this because I am his disciple. And he speaks Chinese because he's learning it now. He is the greatest!"


Doc,
If that is typical of the emails you get then going though your email must be hilarious. It is funny to see someone out there actually thinks that way and is willing to put it down in writing. I just hope it was some child who wrote that. If it came from an adult then my faith in the intelligence of mankind dropped a little. Still, I found it very good for a laugh.

have u though about on the first page what u see when u enter russbo, to have in large text in red

, all the information you need to become a sholin monk. (we have many emails so do not think that asking about how to become a monk hasnt been asked b4. follow this link and you can get the fastest way to find info on this topic.)

(underneath this write, due to the vast emails i recieve i cannot no longer keep forewarding to the right area so there fore i have been forced to put this notice up hopin that u notice this notice and stop entering the forums blind. )

also maybe attach link to the search engine.

may save some time.

actually the penis enlargement would probably be true if you decided to take iron crotch. one of those guys can tow a truck with his dong.

[kirvixus]

you know I get a lot of penis enlargement junk mail and I'm starting to wonder; how do all these companies know I got such a small dick?

[dogchow108]

yet another thread on Russbo.com that leaves me utterly....wordless...

[shaolinstylee]

I'm desperate.

I never thought that was up for debate....

[doc]

Hi Doc,
first of all i wanted to tell you that i understand that your desperate. If i had received so much junk mail ill be too. I hope (at least) that a lot of these people are just kids that dont know anything about what they are talking about, cause you know the art of shaolin seem to be accessible to everyone now in 2004. You just have to open your TV to see the monks demonstrate some moves in front of the camera. You can incarnate a shaolin monk at your favorite video game. You can go at a martial art shop to buy an orange robe. You can go to the nearest kung-fu school (or karate to learn traditional shaolin kung-fu (with probably an autentic disciple of a shaolin monk... who knows!!). If you have enough money you can have whatever you want! Thats the message send by North America (Canada and USA) and thats why so much people think that if they pay, they will get the service they want. And thats why your message with the "shaolin monk starter kit" is so close from the truth. Its sad but its true! I went in Hungary this summer and maybe i can suggest you to tell at those who want to become a shaolin monk to go there before China... it will be a good start. I have a lot of respect in what you have achieve,
