Songshan/shaolin Training - Part 1/3

Old training montage revealing ye olde techniques and methods of training; this is closer to the "real shaolin", some priceless footage in this. A high level of skill and mastery. "It is not an idle talk that 'Strength cannot overcome the Pugilistic Art {Quan Shu}, the Pugilistic Art cannot overcome Internal Mastery {Gong Fu}'. The people think that it is enough to exercise the Pugilistic Art {Quan Shu} but few know that the Pugilistic Art can not withstand the Internal Mastery {Gong Fu] as the Pugilistic Art is sprouts of Gong Fu and Gong Fu itself is the base and root of the Pugilistic Art. There are people who exercise only Gong Fu and do not exercise Quan Shu . . . but nobody heard that Quan Shu can be exercised without exercising Gong Fu. Such '''mastery''' is like flying fluff or floating duckweed - too weak base. It is necessary to exercise both Gong Fu and Quan Shu, only in that case there will be a strong base and excellent Mastery." Jin Yi Ming from Yangzhou.
