Werewolf kung-fu master

[snopes]

Comment: This is a HUGE controversy within the Chinese Martial arts community in
the United States. It surrounds this school: www.shao-lin.com
The problem is with the ties and lineage back to the Chinese temples.

The story is almost amazing.. it involves a monk with the genetic disease
Hypertrichosis "werewolf syndrome" who mastered all of the styles of
Shaolin kungfu. And became the first "Grandmaster." (Grandmaster Su Kong
T'ai Djin (1849 - 1928))

The art is called Shaolin-Do (has japanese names due to persecution in
Indonesia)

Here in Atlanta they call it Shaolin-Tao.

There are a lot of schools including
http://www.shaolinlasvegas.com/grandmasters.htm
http://shaolincenter.com/

They are fairly large in the United States teaching "Traditional Kung Fu"
and I cannot tell you how much controversy in this community it has
caused. You can go to any kung fu forum or google "Shaolin-Do" and find
tons of controversy.

Did the hairy monk exist? Was he a Kung Fu master? Is this school nothing
but snake oil?
