Customer Reviews


4 stars Straightforward with little nonsense
This is one of the better books on Shaolin boxing. It is based on the form preserved by Chinese in southern Asia. The history notes are bogus as usual. But the accuracy of the training: stances, punching, kicking, three training exercises, the form (Lohan's 18 Hands), and its two-man form will keep a real student busy for a year or two if he approaches it with diligence. Those who like the broad short road will prefer a Wing Lam DVD.


4 stars Challenging, inspiring
This volume should be a must for anyone interested in following the Shaolin path, I found it to be clear and it continually challenged me to increase my efforts to learn the techniques of the Shaolin masters. Well worth the money.


3 stars Not Chinese Shaolin Lohan at all
This material covered in this book, for those that want the information is Not Chinese Shaolin Lohan form.
It is a Malaysian derivative from Shaolin.

If you think you can learn how to do this form from a book, especially this one, you are clearly delusional.
Get a real KF teacher.


5 stars Exellent
This book gives you a very good description of this Kung Fu style from history trough basic hand signs and greetings to basic stances, punches and kicks with drills for footwork. The Lohan pattern is alsoe shown in what i belive to be gret detail with several picturesfirst as a solo form and then again with the aplications. Pictures are big and clear with easy to understand and god text. A brief chapter alsoe on the shaolin fist and hand conditioning exersices.
