"I have spent 30 years of my life learning as much as possible about Shaolin tradition and training methods. In this new book, I will take you on a journey through my experiences from the Chinatowns of Boston and New York to the Shaolin Temple in China.
For the first time, I will explain how the Chinese masters view American practitioners of their arts. You will learn many exclusive training techniques that I have been taught by some of the most respected masters in the world.
To wholly benefit from Shaolin Temple kung fu training, there are three requirements. the first is a strong body. The second is a strong mind. The third is a compassionate heart. The first two can be obtained through standard kung fu training. The third can come only from within you.
Through the techniques and concepts in this book, you will achieve a knowledge that many seek but few have. I believe that if I truly accept all that I have learned, then I must be willing to share it. I share this with great anticipation of it having as profound an effect on your life as it has on mine." - Grandmaster Steve DeMasco, Black Belt Hall of Fame Member, 1998 Instructor of the Year.
