Profound concepts and difficult techniques are explained systematically with many illustrations. The book includes: The Background and Scope of Kungfu; Form and Combat applications; Principles and Methods of Force Training; Energy Training and Mind Training; Secrets of the Masters; Traditional Chinese Weapons; Maintaining one's Health and Vitality and the Healing of so-called incurable diseases; Interesting stories and Legends of Shaolin; Zen and Spiritual Development.

Customer Reviews

WOW!
An incredible book. I have spent years reading every source I can on the Shaolin arts. This without doubt is one of the most comprehensive and easily understood books on the subject. As you would expect from this Author and Grandmaster of the Shaolin arts this book explains the subject in clear and immaculate detail. Very highly recommended.

An amazing insight into the world of Shaolin Kung fu
Before reading this book my knowledge of kung fu was about as much as what id seen in films. However this book explains the history, theory and practicallity of this ancient art in a way even i could easily understand. Grand Master Wong Kiew Kit writes in a style that is enjoyable to read and not the complicated waffeling i found in similar books from other authors.

I would recommend this book to anyone who was interested in martial arts.
