Shaolin, for many schools just FORM, Chin na and Sansou

Well here a new topic,

In many schools they split the lessons in kung fu, qi qong & Tai chi.
Wel here in my country its like that. :)

But if you read some books or talk to some real shaolin masters, then they say.

Knowing shaolin kungfu is not only the forms ect but also the CHAN and the QI QONG.
Most schools dont lear this to students.

where you learn is it really complete or .........

Thx

That is very true. If they are from real Shaolin Temple in China, then it is Buddhism , kung fu and qi gong. All of our forms, we must bow and respect the Buddha before and after finishing the form.

FORM, Chin na and Sansou (or San da) is just the tip the of the iceberg. It's up to you to embrace the the Chan and the Qi Gong. Here in the USA many of the "monks" run their school like you said because for some the Chan and Qi gong would scare them away.
