Shaolin Kung Fu

SHAOLIN Secret Boxing - SC 603
by Various
 $13.95 Simplified Chinese Characters Only

367 Pages, Softbound. Illustrated.
This is a series of forms which come from the core of the Shaolin tradition. Unlike many they do not look as "primitive" as many forms recorded and represented as Shaolin. They far more resemble the famous 10 Road Shaolin of Gu Ru Zhang though they are not the same. This raises an interesting point in that a 1500 year history implies definite development and evolution. Is old Shaolin more accurate than newer Shaolin? In this case the answer is no. We could write at length about this but the basic argument is that Shaolin only really became famous in the Ming dynasty. Previous to that it was more of a compendium than a style. In our opinion the latter movements more closely resemble a consistent style than the earlier. Of course there's the argument that the true core was the collection of diverse forms, not their "aggregation." At some time we'll go on about this but take it that this little illustrated text has quite a number of forms.
