So to address the first part-what ancient texts are you referring to, and where is this tiger temple? Were there any witnesses to this that could corroborate your story?I am happy to prove I am both a monk and a warrior.
Monk: I have studied from the ancient texts and took a blood oath at the Tiger Temple after completing my training as a youngling. I'm very happy to talk about my monastic life if you have any questions.
Warrior: Let me tell you a story from my years as a wandering monk. I was travelling through the mountains on a pilgrimage when I was set upon by a band of ruddy misfits. "I mean you no harm gentlemen, be on thy way." However, the upstarts would not move. Using Baguazhang's footwork I managed to get behind them without them seeing, then used a phoenix eye strike to knock down the leader of the pack. Thankfully the rest of them ran off screaming. It shows that when you cut off the head of the snake, victory can be yours.
If someone claims that he is a monk warrior, he can shave his head and post a picture to prove that he can be a monk.

First-no one says "be on thy way" anymore, or probably ever. It's a mixture of current and 6 centuries old speak.
Happy to answer all these questions.
The ancient texts I studied were - the Tao Te Ching, the Yi Ching, the Mahayana Sutras, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the Analects and Master Liās family text. The Tiger Temple is in China.
The warrior part - I understand that traditionally there are places where one should use phoenix eye, but in the heat of battle it isnāt always easy to follow the rules. I used this strike at the base of the skull and - because I have done much Fa Jin training - the power simply knocked the hoodlum out.
However, if this isnāt enough proof for you I am happy to share more real life stories from my past.
China is a very large place. Can you clarify the location (ie: the sichuan province/hunan province) since a google search is failing to find a tiger temple located in china. If you could find a link that would be appreciated.Happy to answer all these questions.

Not "ruffians" , they were "ruddy misfits". Apparently a group with complexion issues.It's also wrong, because thou/thee/thy are singular, so using it for a group of ruffians would be grammatically incorrect. Correct usage would have been "your" even in the era of thees and thous.
MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHhHHahH!!!!!!I am happy to prove I am both a monk and a warrior.

So when I saw that man about that dog, I was in for a rude awakening as up until that moment none had deemed it necessary to forewarn me about the differences between a Western and Chinese commodes...Let me relate the story of when I was in China on a mission to avenge the death of my master. Or was it my third cousin once removed? Anyway, I flew into Beijing...or was it Oklahoma? I always get those two places confused. Iām pretty sure it was Beijing. But it might have been Oklahoma. Iāll have to look at the photos I took of my trip and see it it jogs my memory. At any rate, once I landed I needed to see a guy about a dog...
GM Yang -> Master Li -> the true hero of the EastWhat constitutes proof in your book?
These are not fantasies but real life stories from my times as a youngling and now a warrior monk. If I were lying why would I be known as "the true hero of the East" in many martial arts circles? Doesn't make sense unless what I'm saying is true.
I can also provide my lineage - I was taught by Master Li who was taught by Grandmaster Yang.
Not sure what else you really need??
There are martial artists here from many backgrounds. None of us seem to have heard of you.What constitutes proof in your book?
