Doc,
Are you aware of any decisions concerning the increase of traditional gong fu being taught to future and current monks, as opposed to wushu? It seems that anyone who actually drags themselves down to Henan are going to be interested in studying traditional stuff, not wushu. And I would imagine that goes for students who are interested in studying with monks who eventually establish schools abroad too. Is the high command not aware of these concerns; surely it's in their best interests to decrease the wushu that goes on there, if only with the monks and foreign students. It's not necessary to go to China to learn good wushu, it is if you're interested in learning traditional stuff. From what I've heard, Yongxins new temple in Austria is run by monks who only posses a knowledge of contemporary wushu and hardly any traditional stuff at all. If that's true then that is highly pathetic to me and is an exact example of what will be happening in the future if it stays this way...
