Shaolin

Real Shaolin

"There are few Shaolin Masters, but there is at least one in every phonebook." - recent saying

Shaolin is the stuff legends and myths are made of, but is not shrouded in lost history. More than one or two people taken advantage of scarce information on the subject and claimed Shaolin lineage and training. However, more and more information is accessible, thanks to changing attitudes in traditional schools, better preservation of documents, more translated materials, and mass information availability (especially the Internet).

I have nothing but the highest respect for Shaolin -- its principals and philosophy, its heritage, its practice and way of life. I would like to think that anyone reading this who has the same respect for what it stands for would want to know beyond any doubt if they are being duped into believing they have a lineage they do not.

"Si Tai Gung" David (aka Davyd) Moerler

There are no thousands of years of lineage. There is no lineage, period. David Moerler has never trained with or under anyone in Shaolin. He has had no communication, psychic or otherwise, with any temple in New York, Ohio, or China.

Real Shaolin in Buffalo

As far as I have found there is only one Shaolin Grandmaster in the Buffalo area, and he is retired in Amherst. I would be surprised if David even knows of him, but I know that he, nor any other Shaolin, knows of the "si tai gung." He is not some 30-year-old con artist with delusions of grandeur. He has a verifiable lineage and is respected in the martial arts community.

You must decide, and your decision will reflect the quality and stength of your character -- If someone truly loves the truth, then the truth is more important than what one wants to believe.
