Monk authenticity
Let me just make a correction. Shi Yanzi and Shi Yan Lei from London are NOT (I repeat), NOT shaolin monks. Shi Yanzi used to be a shaolin monk a long time ago, but is now only a disciple. Please be aware that not everyone with shaven heads and wearing orange shaolin robes are monks. Besides, there are 2 different types of shaolin monks within shaolin. There are monks who solely study the buddhist scriptures with no gong fu study and there are the "Wu Seng" (warrior monks) who study some buddhist scriptures but mostly do gong fu study. "Wu Seng" are protectors of shaolin and of the buddhist community within the shaolin temple walls.
I just wanted to clarify this point as most people are misled regarding this information.
