I stumbled upon your site by luck, and hope you might be able to help me. You probably get this all of the time, as you are clearly an authority on the subject, if i offend you in any way by asking you, I apologize, I just desire to learn kung fu and cannot seem to find an answer.
I am 22 years old and live in Massachusetts. I have been researching traditional Shaolin kung fu, and am working towards a trip to China saving money and learning mandarin, to train with real masters. I have been learning at home from xxxxx's videos online, and have been on an exhausting search for true Shaolin schools here in America.
In my search I have learned that Shaolin here in America is rare, many schools claim to be shaolin but teach none of the true forms. Some are more performing based, instead of self defense and qigong based. usashaolintemple.org shaolin-overseas.org shaolinkungfutrainingcenter.com shaolinca.com shaolinkungfutrainingcenter.com (photos of Shi DeCheng visiting this school) I have found a few that seem legit, out of HUNDREDS of sites i've looked through, these few seem like the only true schools here in America.
My question is, Is there an official Shaolin school here in America? I will travel to China when I have enough money, but for now I need to build a strong foundation, learn all the basics and condition myself so I can handle the true training in China. I have recently quit smoking, and want to learn self defense and self control, I know this will help to better my life, but I am having a very hard time finding where to go.
I live in western Massachusetts, close to Worcester and Hartford. These are the closest schools in my area, although i question the validity of their teachings, regardless they are my closest options. usakungfuacedemy.com wushucenter.com shaolintempleri.com usashaolintemple.com shaolinkungfutrainingcenter.com
I am willing to travel if I can find a real Shaolin monk teaching here, Shi Yan Ming in NYC seems to be my best bet, but he is very popular and has not returned my calls or emails yet, He trains many actors and musicians, I have a feeling I will not be able to afford to learn there, nor live in the city. I am willing to travel there and home, and relocate to be closer to my school. As you can see, I have been searching very hard and haven't gotten very far. I've ended up more confused than ever. I know that Shi DeCheng and Shi DeYang are the best for a foreigner to train with, and my goal is to make it to their schools. For now, Can you reccomend anywhere for me to start? I'd truely appreciate any of your advice. I apologize for taking up your time, thank you very much for reading this. xxxxx xxxxx

I'm not an authority. But I do have my opinions.
One of them being, I hope you're not spending money buying videos online.....
I'll leave this for the gang, for now...
