i have heard some good stuff about shawn liu. but shaolin temple based arts? his website says pre communist china and traditional shaolin kung fu. my sifu who i was training with here sifu hill said good stuff about him and my other sifu sharif bey said he trains strong fighters. i dont care for the sport aspect but does he teach real shaolin kung fu and applications?
