Sin Kwang The' Fact or Bull-shido

 Sin Kwang The' Fact or Bull-shido

According to Sin Kwang The' the story goes something like this.

Su Kong Tai Djin

There was a boy who was found in the woods. The boy had a disease that made hair grow all over his body and even his face. This boy was ditched in the woods by his parents because they thought he was a demon. The disease is called hypertrichosis.

The person who found the child was a monk of the Fukien temple. He realized that the child was not a demon and brought him back to the temple. After some debate on what they should do with the boy they decided to raise him.

They named him Su Kong Tai Djin. As Su grew he learned that he could never leave the temple because when he did he would be picked on and treated poorly because of his disease.

So the masters at the temple decided that they would each teach Su their style of kung fu. Su was to become the first person in history to learn the entire Shao-Lin martial arts system.

There is a story about how he walked into a room at one point and when the 12 masters bowed to him he took out a knife and threw it into the rafters. An assassin fell from the rafters. According to Sin Kwang The' Su had heard 13 people in the room breathing but there were only 12 masters there!

After learning the entirety of the Shao-Lin martial arts systems Su decided that he would teach a boy by the name of Ie Chang Ming.

Ie Chang Ming

Ie Chang Ming learned the entire art from Su. After he had gone through all of the training he decided to go on a little walk. He found himself in some trouble however because he had accidentally walked onto an abandoned military base. He was surrounded by men who decided that he needed to die.

Unfortunately for those men they had run across the wrong man. Ie killed them in self defense but he realized that he needed to flee China if he was going to avoid going to prison.

Ie Chang Ming Goes to Indonesia

Ie found himself in Indonesia and he realized that he was the only one left who could pass on the Shao-Lin art. At the time however it was illegal to teach the Chinese martial arts in Indonesia. Ie Chang Ming decided that he needed to disguise the Chinese art as a Japanese art if he was going to teach it.

To this day at the Shao-Lin centers and in the Shao-Lin-do schools there is some Japanese influence.

Enter Sin Kwang The'

Sin The' started doing Kung Fu in Bandung Indonesia when he was a young boy. Upon meeting Grandmaster Ie for the first time Ie dumped hot coffee into Sin's lap. Then he quickly grabbed him and looked into his eyes to see if Sin  The' had become angry about it. Seeing nothing but surprise in the young boys eyes Ie thought he might just have the next Grandmaster of the Shao-Lin art there in front of him.

After several more tests Ie finally chose Sin The' as the next Shao-Lin grandmaster. Then came many years of brutal training. Which I am not going to get into here.

Some people think that Grandmaster Sin Kwang The' made this whole story up. Some claim that he made up the entire art that he teaches. that claim to me is ridiculous because the art he teaches is massive and it is hard to learn it let alone make it up in one life time.

The thought that he learned it all from books is also ridiculous because if you have ever been to a book store and looked through the martial arts section you would know that these sections are small. Let's assume that he could have learned all of it from books and he made some of it up. That would make him a freaking genius.

So I don't know if the story he tells is true or not but one things is for sure if it's not then he definitely learned what he knows somewhere. I have studied at one of his schools for ever 20 years and there seems to be no end to the awesome forms he teaches.

I am sure there are going to be some jack asses who come on to this post and say he is a fraud because they read it on the internet. You may have heard he is a fraud on the internet and that doesn't make it true. At least I have heard something about him on the net can't say the same about you.

  2. For a second I wasn't sure which Ben this was til I heard you mention your last name in the Eyelid accident audio clip. One thing that does lend some credibility to Sin Kwan The's training is the fact that the group has traveled to china and has actually seen a few people perform a few identical forms to what has been taught to us. That means it was passed down and retained properly by different people on opposite sides of the earth. Also There are a few books that came out years after the initial teachings at our Shaolin schools of say the Pakua forms that verify move for move that what we were taught was the original authentic pakua form same with the eight animal pakua (bagua), yang style Tai Chi, Tiger Crane, Shaolin 5 Animal and many other forms.

    It is also enlightening and entertaining to see various students pick apart forms and choose one or two applications from each form to try out in sparring. Having seen so many different techniques from so many different forms thrown into actual sparring one can also see that they still work in real life situations. So even if it were all made up then the man is a genius. I have been studying Shaolin Kung Fu and all the associated styles that came out of the temples since 1996, I would not have stayed as long as I did if there wasn't such a huge wealth of knowledge being taught at the schools because quite frankly I'd probably would have gotten bored if there wasn't as much diversity as there is within the entire system. If anything, right now I am overwhelmed with the amount of material I need to practice for every level advancement. The Drunken System alone is enough to overwhelm many students, let alone all the internal styles, weapons and animal styles we have to learn as well.
