Shaolin Literature

[Uwe]

Hi all,


I would like to start a little discussion concerning these books.


Shaolin Gong-fu- A Course in Traditional Forms – 5 volumes
By Liu Baoshan (Cloth, 5.5” x 8”, 2896pp. 5 vol.) Never before have we seen such a comprehensive series on Shaolin Kung Fu in the English language. These 5 volumes outline the 8 basic hand positions, 15 basic hand techniques, 14 basic stances, 14 basic leg techniques, 12 basic skills, 54 complete forms, plus massage, meridians, and Qigong! This unprecedented series is the textbook from Shaolin Temple’s Taguo School, one of the largest and most decorated schools in China! A must have for all serious practitioners of Kung Fu!


Let me know what you think.

Anybody know where I can get English translations of Lam Sai Wing's books on Hung Gar?

Lam Sai Wing Translations

go to http://www.wle.com under the book section and select Kung Fu books. There are a few available.


Also, for some basic texts you can go to the file library. (A shameless self-promotion here) 2 of my works were posted there (Requirements for a Shaolin Fighter and the 10 Precepts of a Shaolin Fightter) in the Shaolin book section.
