My name is Ken Stuczynski, a former member of the Nine Dragons Kung Fu Society, or "Shaolin Nine Dragons." I'm not quite a disgruntled student, but a disgruntled leader. I represent many of the system's former students when I write this. I was the original sole instructor of the system when we started teaching the public in 1993, having been the head "regional instructor" before this, and for years was the highest ranking member under the "grandmaster" until things got strange in 1995. Under dire circumstance, I was forced to question the beliefs I had promoted for years in what is now called "Song Mountain Martial Arts." David had put me in charge of philosophy and the historical records of the entire system, public and private. This was appropriate since I created the records, organized David's memoirs throughout the early development of the system, and because of educational background and interest. I had earned my Philosophy Degree from D'Youville College (where I became one of David's first students) in 1991, but had studied Eastern philosophy, religion, and culture since I was 13 years old. It was this eagerness to find someone claiming to know such a spiritual path that made me not only interested in David's martial arts, but a devoted organizer of a system where others could learn as well. This was a painful process for me -- one of faith and doubt, betrayal, losing innocence, and guilt for not seeing the truth before it was too late. After much healing, I give to you this site, not out of angst and revenge, but out of the hope I am giving others a chance to know the truth, and perhaps out of penance for having perpetuated such a myth for so long.
