Book Synopsis Shaolin Temple Kung Fu Manual by : Thomas Smith
Download or read book Shaolin Temple Kung Fu Manual written by Thomas Smith and published by . This book was released on 1996-09-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaolin Temple Kung-Fu Overview Shaolin Kung-Fu was created by combining Buddhist, Yogic and Taoist influences originally established within the Shaolin Tradition at the Shaolin Temple in Honan, by Bodhidharma in 500 A.D.. Original Shaolin Kung-Fu evolved and was perpetuated until now, in secrecy by the priest and monks at the several main Shaolin Temples that had been established through the centuries. The only times the Shaolin martial arts were taught outside the temple was when the rulers of China became ruthless in their treatment of the Chinese people. These teachings were pretty much limited to what the people needed to successfully revolt. A large amount of the original Shaolin teachings, influences and origins were never presented to anyone but the monks. These missing Shaolin influences include some self defense methods and strategies, much of the physical health training methods and almost none of the spiritual Yogic and Buddhist influences. These missing influences have been made available to us from the existing original Shaolin who are in exile in Taiwan, from the violent communist takeover of the Chinese mainland in 1949. Also from Shaolin who were operating in Tibet prior to the violent invasion and takeover by the communist Chinese of Tibet in 1950. Since World War II the communist Chinese have effectively eliminated the ancient Taoist, Buddhist and Shaolin knowledge and spiritual belief systems on the mainland, due to their commitment to obtaining a modern industrial atheist society. This communist influence has been responsible for considerable additional loss of the Shaolin influence on Chinese kung-fu. Chinese kung-fu is now called Wu-Shu and has become acrobatic as it lost its efficient martial influences. Another unacceptable exception was made at the Shaolin Temple at Honan, where, due to the income from tourism, they have allowed some modern Buddhism to be presented for the tourists as Shaolin. This book breaks the norm of modern kung-fu manuals in that it presents and explains these missing Shaolin influences.

Book Synopsis Secrets of Shaolin Temple Boxing by : Robert W. Smith
Download or read book Secrets of Shaolin Temple Boxing written by Robert W. Smith and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-09 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the secrets of Shaolin Temple boxing also known as Shaolin Kung Fu with this illustrated matrtial arts guide. Shaolin Temple boxing is the father of all boxing forms in China and is a close ancestor of Japanese karate. Despite the widespread study of Shaolin kung fu, however, the true origins and history of this exciting martial art have been obscured by wildly fanciful myths and legends that have arisen over the centuries, leading martial-arts authority Robert W. Smith to remark, "There are no good books on Shaolin Temple boxing. There are only varying degrees of poor." In Taiwan, however, Smith had the good fortune to discover a short, anonymous work in Chinese that he believed revealed the essence of Shaolin. This kung fu book is the English version of that text. Abundantly and attractively illustrated, it is a fascinating account of the history of an ancient martial art, as well as a concise martial arts manual explaining the fundamental philosophy and techniques of Shaolin Temple boxing.
