i remember hearing some of the chinese tour guides over there telling all the chinese tourists, in chinese, standing in front of ven. suxi's pagoda that he was abbot yongxin's master. didnt get the "de xing yong yan heng" right.
and as for the weapons, master deyang's staff is the heaviest stick i have ever tried to swing around. about broke my own wrist. thats not to mention his hardcore straightsword and monkspade. they are far from light.
i'm always down for a good shaolin documentary though. thanks for the heads-up!
