Have you ever seen someone carrying two heavy pails of water, walk on a staircase of razors with no pain? Break a lead pipe with his forehead? Jump ten feet straight up in the air, or balance his entire body off the end of a spoon? It happens everyday at the Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin Kung Fu and Shaolin monks have mystified the world for centuries with their incredible strength, vitality and flexibility. For many martial artists, going to the Shaolin Temple and learning the mystery of Kung Fu that started centuries ago is their life dream.
