*Excerpt
from the book: Jin Jing Zhong. Authentic Shaolin
Heritage: Training Methods of 72 Arts of Shaolin. ISBN:

Shaolin MA AN GONG
serves for strengthening the outer power of the body and
rearing the YANG force in it. Although the training
method of the technique is relatively “soft”, but you
can not call the employment of that skill soft one,
because when learning the Shaolin skill MA AN GONG is
over, your fist will become like an iron big hammer. A
practitioner will be able to break stones with a hand as
well as literally break through a human body, separate
it into two halves. He will be able not only to make
holes in different hard things but also inflict severe
wounds on enemies who attacked him. However, it is
always necessary to refrain from delivering deadly blows
to the utmost and employ that skill only in cases of
absolute necessity ...
<...>
... If you
master that training method with big stones, you will
move stones weighing 100, 200 or 300 JINs (50, 100, and
150 kg respectively) from their place with ease. If you
deliver blows each day during several years, you will
make the heaviest stone “jump” from your blows. When
learning that technique comes to the successful end, it
can be employed to inflict wounds of different severity
and break or split various things. It is often enough to
use only one hand in order to make damages and wound
people. In ancient times WU SHU masters, when they
taught people that skill, made special stress on
training the left arm. But in our time people much
oftener use rather the right arm than the left one,
therefore one must try not to inflict pointless body
damages and wounds on people.
