National Geographic on Shaolin

It was a good article, it had some some silliness in it, like the part about "some MMA fighter that came to test the monk and went away bruised" ( why do they bother with crap like that?), but over all it was interesting.

I think they bother with it, because that's what presents itself at the gate.

I want a Shaolin cowl.

We posted news of this article on our National Geographic on Shaolin thread. At some point, when I'm tidying up this forum, I may merge this thread into that one.

Note that our Shaolin Special 2011 is being delivered to our subscribers and newsstands now.

Yep been there back in 2007 - it was just being finished off at that stage. Maybe heading for a trip back this year to stay a night or 2 and do some training - it really is out of this world up on that mountain
