Shaolin Martial Arts Canada- Black Sash 3rd Duan Guide

The Shaolin Temple was built in 496 CE in the during the period of the Northern and Southern Empires (Nán B¿i Cháo), at the foot of the Song Mountains in the north-central province of Honan, China. In 520 CE, a Buddhist patriarch from India by the name of Boddhidharma (known as Ta-Mo in China) visited the Shaolin Temple to spread the new Chan (Zen) philosophy. Finding the monks of the temple in poor health and stamina, Ta-Mo created a new training regimen consisting of a unique blend of moving meditations and defensive combat skills. This practice sparked the beginning of Shaolin Fist Kung-Fu, which would rise to become the literal foundation for almost every known martial style! Since 1994, SHAOLIN Martial Arts Canada has been cultivating the virtues of Respect, Self Control & Self-Discipline through the study of the ancient art of SHAOLIN KEMPO KUNG-FU! This book covers all the skills and knowledge required at the 3rd Duan level of the Black Sash curriculum.
