 Kungfu Magazine: Magazine Feature Article
With Shaolin Monk Shi Yan Ming's permission, I now share the results of this personal interview with you, to unshroud the veil of mystery, myth, and misunderstanding that has surrounded writings and discourse on Chinese Chi kung history, theory and practice throughout the centuries.
Monk Shi-Yan Ming notes that Fu Yu Chan Shi, a Northern Shaolin priest and the creator of Ba Duan Gin and Shi Da Gong Fa, was also the founder of the Southern Fujian temple in the Song Dynasty.
This reply led me to ask him if one could not in fact develop chi strictly through the heavy practice of external Shaolin martial arts training, since as he had mentioned previously, all actions combine internal and external forces, and the Shaolin martial arts styles were certainly grueling enough.
