Wushu

[r.(shaolin)]

There was continuous interaction between the military and Shaolin monks. Both military officers and senior clergy came from the same well-educated class and both were often posted to the same remote northern regions. It is well documented that Military men from throughout the centuries, went to Shaolin to rest, to train and observe martial training. For those of you that are interested in looking into the realities of combat, I recommend a new book written by a friend.

I've always been fascinated by that B&W shot of the monks on horseback with rifles...

r.,

Thank you for getting back to us with the availability of this book. It looks like it has some good food for the killer in us.
