Is Shaolin-Do a legitimate Kung-Fu School?
I am looking for great martial arts styles and schools to train in. Kung-Fu is very interesting and in my area here in New Orleans there is a school that teaches it. It goes by Shaolin-Do. My question is: Is it legitimate? Is it worth my time and money? Why or Why not?

Depends on your definition of legitimate. There is an association of Shaolin-Do schools and a member branch in Louisiana, but I can not tell you if the school you refer to is a member.
But I am kind of weary of schools that claims to teach Shaolin-Do because there are many styles of kungfu that was created by the monks of the Shaolin Monastery in ancient China and the "-do" ending is not use by the Chinese to designate style, but is used in Japanese. The proper suffix to designate a martial art style in Chinese is the word "-chuan" or "-quan".
