Sensei Gingras,
it is told that Sensei Soken had practiced with Gokenki and Mabuni , what other white crane katas Soken used to practice in his dojo besides Matsumura Hakutsuru?

it's cool but what's the cost of it? flooding the net with junk emails,putting your AD on a money note, on the street walls? it's a desstructive game.
