It is Said that Northern Shaolin kung-fu was born when Shaolin monks combined the most effective fighting techniques from various Chinese martial arts styles into one devastating method of combat. Over the years, Northern Shaolin has proven the style of choice for some of history's greatest martial artists, including Ku Ju-chang, one of the early 20th century's famous "Five Northern Tigers," and Lai Hung, renowned as one of kung-fu's most fearsome full-contact fighters. We present here, for the first time in print, Northern Shaolin's two-person sparring form. The sparring form features a comprehensive arsenal of striking, kicking, throwing and grappling techniques -- and it reveals Northern Shaolin strategies for long-, medium- and close-range combat, as well as groundfighting. With a bewildering array of hand strikes, stomps, sweeps and leaping kicks, joint-locks and throws, this sparring form is a gold mine of practical martial arts knowledge. With step-by-step instruction, tons of photographs, and sections on the history of Northern Shaolin, basic combat drills and specific applications for the sparring form, Combat Shaolin is an extensive introduction to the Northern Shaolin style of unarmed fighting. Whether you are a beginner just starting out on your martial arts journey, or an experienced practitioner looking to add to your set of skills, Combat Shaolin will prove a valuable addition to your bookshelf.

Born in the projects of Spanish Harlem to a disabled mother and an abusive father, Steve DeMasco spent most of his childhood lost and angry. Drifting from one job to another, he stalked the streets as a troubled youth, barely surviving while all of his peers were either dead or in jail, until he found himself on the steps of the Shaolin Temple. Originating more than 1,500 years ago in ancient China, the Shaolin monks were simple farmers and worshippers of Buddhism who learned to protect themselves from the constant danger of bandits and overlords with a kind of "meditation in motion," a nonlethal form of self-defense that didn't violate their vows of peace. As their legend grew, they became known as the Shaolin Fighting Monks, revered across the land for their spiritual dedication, enlightened message, and amazing fighting skills. DeMasco entered the Shaolin Temple to battle the demons of his past. But he got more than he bargained for. Besides learning how to wield weapons and take on multiple attackers at once, he discovered an ancient philosophy that helped melt away preconceived notions of the world, and gave him a powerful platform on which to live and grow. In The Shaolin Way, he adapts these teachings for the modern world, singling out ten secrets of survival that can help anyone live a more fulfilled life.
