my school is very traditionalist. everything's just the way it was in late 19th century china. we get the traditional pants with red stripes down the sides, the traditional cotton t-shirt with the school's name on it, the traditional black-and-red sneakers...

Definitely check out these schools first-hand. Also know what you are looking for (sparring, forms, self defense, etc.) and how long you plan on staying. I've been training with SYM for about a year now and have learned two forms and a whole buncha basics. I can't say I've learned much application, (then again I haven't been there that long) so make that a consideration.

He runs classes single-handedly, mostly. He gets the more advanced students to do basics in the front while he helps the beginners in the back of the room. He also gets students to teach other students, which has its ups and downs. Forms come at the end of class, we line up and he corrects us.

there are even rumors that Guolin learned a few of his shaolin forms here in NYC, from Yan Chang and Yan Ming...
He was Yan Chang's disciple before he became Yong Xin's.
In any case, he is a shaolin monk and that says quite a bit martially."Arhat, I am your father..."
