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 the mid-20s of the 20th century with blessing and direct participation of the Abbot of the Shaolin Monastery Reverend Miao Xing (1891-1927) nicknamed "Golden Arhat", one of the best Shaolin fighters of all times.
Many hundreds of Shaolin monks gained outstanding results and brought fame to Martial Arts of Shaolin forever. All of them attained such unusual abilities thanks to special secret practices traditionally called "72 Arts of Shaolin". They are the base and essence of the Shaolin Combat Training.
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 principal 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.
For the first time the book describes full training methods in all 72 Shaolin Arts. Being until recently for outsiders the most secret part of training of Shaolin monks, which made them invulnerable in fight, 72 Shaolin Arts at the present time become available to all who are ready to practice them persistently and with an open heart. Training methods described in the book allow to develop superhuman abilities, far beyond abilities of an ordinary man. MORE ABOUT 72 SECRET ARTS OF SHAOLIN MONKS.
