Authentic Shaolin Heritage: Training Methods of 72 Arts of Shaolin

The book
"Training Methods of 72 Arts of Shaolin" by Jin Jing
Zhong is devoted to the most enigmatic and little-known aspect of training of Shaolin
monks. The book was written in 1934 with blessing and direct participation of the
Abbot of the Shaolin Monastery Reverend
Miao Xing nicknamed "Golden Arhat", one of the best Shaolin fighters of all times.
Training methods described in the book allow to develop supernatural abilities, far beyond abilities of an ordinary man. In the course of many centuries the methods were the base and core of Shaolin combat training, the most secret part carefully hidden from strangers. However, after a huge fire in
1928 that burnt down Shaolin and a greater part of its records the situation changed. An acute problem of preserving the Shaolin heritage for future generations arose. Most probably, it was the principle reason which made
Miao Xing reveal one of the main secrets of Shaolin to the
public...
The
book presents full description of exercises and
requirements to their execution, as well as the
fundamentals of training theory of 72
Shaolin Arts. |
The
book has been translated from the Chinese language for
the first time. |

Combat Training...

names of monks-warriors from Shaolin who attained mystic heights of mastery and obtained superhuman abilities thanks to indefatigable training and diligent observance of true methods. For instance, monk
Hong Wen who lived in the XIII-th century sat into the stance MA, put a stone slab weighing 50 kg on his head, stood a man on each knee and stayed so until a huge incense candle, as high as a man, half burned off.

"Diamond Finger" to perfection, with his finger he could pierce a wooden board as it were a straw mat and crush stones into sand with blows of his elbows.
