"If your primary interest is tournament skills, I advise you to seek your training elsewhere! Most of what you will learn here is too lethal for tournament use. I teach the ancient system of Shaolin-Do, 'Art of survival, not of sport.' As did the immortals, we should learn to destroy so that we may preserve! It is a way of truth. The knowledge that I offer you is not an athletic training; it is a sacred trust."

I got my black belt at the Sports Center in 1979, the same year my son Ben was born. In the 80's I took a few years off, but I returned to the club in 1989 along with Ben. He and I been working out together ever since and tested for our second degree black belts together. Since 1992, I've been lucky enough to continue my studies under Elder Master Bill Leonard. In 2009, Grandmaster Sin was gracious enough to promote Ben and I to sixth degree black belt.

Elder Master Tony GrayPosted: February 2, 2023 10:03 AM | |
|---|---|
As of February 2nd, 2023, Elder Master Tony Gray has been banished from Shaolin-Do due to his continued disrespect and defiance towards Elder Master Bill Leonard over the last few years and his blatant and arrogant disrespect shown to Grandmaster Sin Thé this past December. This attitude and behavior cannot and will not be tolerated. He has been thrown out of the system and can no longer teach our material. He can no longer use Grandmaster Sin Thé's name, image, or likeness or use the name "Shaolin-Do". He is no longer welcome at any Shaolin-Do school, class, tournament, or seminar (either in person or online). Any school that he teaches at or participates in will lose their Shaolin-Do affiliation. Any student who has studied under him up to this point may leave immediately to join another Shaolin-Do school and therefor maintain their loyalty to Grandmaster Sin Thé and their affiliation with Shaolin-Do. | |
