Editorial Reviews:
This dual language Chinese/English edition is beautifully designed.
This series has an introductory calligraphic introduction by Yang Zhao Ting, the former president of the National Chinese WuShu Association. The writer of the series, Geng Jun, studied under SuXi, SuFa and Li ZhuanYuan. There are general notes and demonstrations of the Shaolin stances for the entire series. There's also a nice short color section on students and Geng Jun's activities. The side-by-side Chinese and English make this a very useful text with clear instructions.
THIS BOOK shows one of the most famous of the contemporarily recognized forms of Shaolin. It contains, among other postures, the famous "sleeping Arhat" pose. Some skill required. Form only.

Customer Rating: Summary: Real Shaolin Comment: Luohan means "disciple of Buddha" and is generally considered one of the oldest and most authentic forms of Shaolin style Kung Fu. This book teaches the form with really nice illustrations and Chinese/English text so you can improve your language skills as you go along. This form requires some real strength and gymnastic skills. The author is well known. He dresses in traditional monk's outfit to demonstrate all the kicks, blocks, sweeps and special hand movements of the form. A nice presentation for the money.
