A Shaolin Monastery's Compendium of Pugilism by Shi Yongxin

[Crosshandz]

Hey guys I've heard a lot of good things about "A Shaolin Monastery's Compendium of Pugilism" by Shi Yongxin, a lot of it in different threads on this very forum.

I'd be very interested to know:

What forms are featured in the series?
Has Abbot Shi Yongxin finished his series now?
Where can I buy these books?


Thanks

The "Shaolin Monastery's Compendium Of Pugilism" includes first and second routine of Rou Quan; Xiaohong Quan, Dahong Quan, Meihua Quan, Changhu Xinyimen, Datongbi Quan and Luohan Quan,- how many more i don't know.

A part of it you can find in Shaolin-Temple's homepage, in the English section there is the description of same basics, of Pao Quan and of Dahong Quan:

You can also follow up by going to the main page and look for the section "weekly form":
http://www.shaolin.org.cn/EN/index.aspx

In the Chinese part of the homepage there is even more to discover.

But you can also buy them on amazone:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=A+Shaolin+monastery%27s+compendium+of+pug ilism

...or in the temple.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

I got a couple of these while I was at Shaolin. If you don't have proper instruction they are hard to follow. There is not much explanation for the transitions between the movements. It shows you the postures but not how to move in between each one.
