"72 Precious Shaolin Arts are kept in a brocade bag, they are kept like a great treasure. 18 of them are the essence of the famous Shaolin Treatises on Pugilistic Arts. 18 other Arts describe in detail training methods with the use of special tools and training equipment. Wonderful methods of attaining the flexibility of bones and joints ROU GU GONG, breathing exercises QI GONG, exercises in obtaining Hardness YING GONG and Lightness QING GONG, grappling methods CHIN NA and many other methods and techniques are written with the blood of monks in books that are kept like a treasure in the brocade bag. One can seldom meet those who really want to do exercises with zeal: to become a real hero, one must often feel bitter taste of hard labor."

"72 Shaolin Arts are perfect exercises. First of all, it is necessary to assimilate the hornbook of mastership. Apt moment, apt time, apt mystery... Strictly observe instructions, and you will be able to become as perfect as the Dragon."

The 72 Shaolin Secret Arts are methods of preparing the body and the mind for action under extreme conditions (first of all, in conditions of real-life hand-to-hand combat). If you train only hand-to-hand techniques and do not pay attention to special training, you will never achieve the highest mastery and your movements will lack the real force. "The fists are like flowers, and the legs like embroidery needles", laugh the old masters at such "techniques". The 72 Arts of Shaolin are the foundation of the utmost mastery in all styles of Martial Arts.

Main Secret of the Shaolin Training in the Authentic Shaolin Book: "Jin Jing Zhong. AUTHENTIC SHAOLIN HERITAGE: TRAINING METHODS OF 72 ARTS OF SHAOLIN."

If you rely only on hard toil and persistency, but do not follow the rules, you may turn into sideways and spend efforts equal to efforts of nine buffaloes and two tigers, but all the same you will not attain perfection.

72 Shaolin Arts represent an example of personal experience of monks from the Shaolin Monastery in the Songshan Mountains. This experience was obtained by hard exercises in Martial Arts during many epochs. The best samples of those 72 Arts are such effective methods as QIGONG (CHI KUNG), Breathing exercises, exercises to obtain Hardness YING GONG and Lightness QING GONG, Acupoint Massage DIEN XUE (DIM MAK), Art of Seizing and Grappling CHIN NA, the Art of Setting Dislocations and Bones and others.

In all practices of the 72 Shaolin Arts at first the basic theory is studied and only then exercises are done. At first those who practice the Shaolin Arts train the softness of their sinews and bones and try to make agile all their joints and articulations. Then they set into motion the Main Breath ZONG LI, strengthen the internal organs FU, improve blood state, consolidate body strength, control the Cinnabar Field and concentrate energy QI in it, overcome their desires and requirements. The strength spreads on the four extremities and the hundred joints and articulations, now a fighter is in command of unlimited power, and he can move off 1000 JINs. Your arm weighing only 10 JINs can move a thing weighing 10.000 JINs with one blow of your hand.

Your arms are a Head, your legs are a Tail. Everything is permeated with a single movement. The body moves like a Dragon. Teachers said: "Shaolin exercises develop forces of the whole human organism, all joints and bones; you are capable of striking with all parts of your body." There is one more saying: "The First is the source of all Martial Arts, and the Leg is the base, the root of the Fist." Ordinary practice of Pugilism consists of seventy percent of leg training and thirty percent of fist training. If you acquire Pugilism, you can use eighteen types of weapons. If you resort to all ruses of pugilism, you can fight against 10.000 fighters.

"Train yourself so that all the bones and the joins of your body would become mobile and lively, the Tiger and the Dragon of your body would freely move. Master the strength of your heart, and it is then that one of your fingers will be more powerful than thunder and stronger than ten thousand people"
