haha lol

so tell us about yourself

[shimanqi]

I started in martial arts when I was 9, in Traditional Tae Kwon Do. At 12, I got my black belt. I quit to go to College at 17, and started training in Judo for 2 years.
I graduated, and began to learn Bak Sil Lum (northern Shaolin Kung Fu). I've travelled to various Tournaments in the US (USAWKF Nationals) in 2000 and 2001.
I've taken various seminars with Grandmasters like Pan Qing Fu, Shou yiu Liang, Shawn Liu de Ru, etc.
Recently, I've practiced with Shifu Sean Masrshall from Baltimore, MD. I am actually teaching Taijiquan here in PR, as well as Shaolin kungfu to young kids.
I've also travelled to Barbados to judge in a recent Tournament, as well as in local kungfu tournaments.
I hope to be able to further my training by finding a Shaolin Master (preferrably a monk) to further my training is Songshan Shaolin and Chan buddhism.
Great te be here!
If any of you can suggest a Master, I'd gladly do my best to travel and meet him.

well you definately have come to the right place, browse around and see what you like, in the shaolin section you should be able to find plenty of info for what your looking for

[shimanqi]

tetsumaru?

Why will I not find a Shaolin monk to teach me?

[Inevitable]

you should be able to find one, maybe not close by, overseas you have in hungary, couple places in the states

[shimanqi]

Xie xie ni!
I had considered Shi Yang Ming in NY, Shi Guolin, or Shi Heng Jun in France.

you also have Shi Xing Hong down in hungary,

[shimanqi]

xie xie ni again. So, you'd suggest Shi Xing Hong before any of the others I mentioned before? Why?

[doc]

You'll get better training with Xing Hong, in my opinion. He's most knowledgeable. But, you'll have to deal with other issues if you're in Hungary.

[shimanqi]

thanks. What would be a second option from the ones I mention? Hungary sounds far...what complications do you refer to?
I have a copy of the Shaolin Ulyses DVD. Enjoyed it very much! Would you suggest a school in Las Vegas? which Shifus are there?
