Chinese Shao-Lin Kung Fu

Okay, where to start? This one is difficult as it is easy.
This is in no way shape or form real kung fu. It’s a bunch of people going through the motions like a dance who have no real idea what they are doing and why. The instructor is very nice, but it is obvious from asking him multiple questions for over 3 months he doesn’t really have a clue either. The forms (all 900) we do resemble no forms anywhere else, and for something that is supposed to be «shaolin» aka «animal styles» and etc found elsewhere, it does not make sense when compared to others.
More troubling is how easy it seems for students to advance in their rankings. Black belts are not able to perform solid techniques like kicking or punching and sparring was more like dance around and tap each other while developing bad habits. No skill is really being developed for health or fighting.
The school smells awful. Like old socks and body odor. It needs to be cleaned.
So the biggest complaint? They don’t really teach anything. There is so much «forms» and b.s. kung fu that is going on, we never get decent at anything. Make sure to google «shao-​lin do controversy» before signing up here.
if you’re happy doing nothing and just socializing, this is fine. But for real Kung Fu, search longer and harder.
