I've always been interested in Shaolin Kung Fu, and I'm interested in taking it some time from now.

 

Anyway, I'm not "getting started in the martial arts", I've been taking American Kenpo for quite some time now, and gotten a taste of a few other arts as well. But, I found a school that I would have access to in the near future, and I was wondering if some of you could check out the website and tell me if it looks like it's any good? I don't really know much about this art, so I couldn't judge.

 

Here's the site,

I'm interested in going to a school that's located in Boulder, CO. Mostly why I'm suspicious is because Boulder is a "new-ager" city, meaning people there will buy into anything that includes the words, "peace" "love" and "enlightenment". I don't even want to think about what some of the Tai Chi schools over there advertise.

They are very suspect! There is a Wah Lum school in Lone Tree, that has a traceable lineage, I don't know about prices. I keep meaning to go out there and visit them, but haven't yet. I was introduced to the instructor through a mutual friend, and he seems to be the real thing.

As for the Shaolin place, Sharon and David Soard are great people, but their system is suspect, to say the least. It looks a lot like American Kempo with some acrobatics thrown in.

There have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm!
