Authentic Shaolin Heritage: Training Methods of 72 Arts of Shaolin Original edition: Tanjin, 1934; translated from Chinese in 2004http://www.kungfulibrary.com/about-72-shaolin-arts.htmE-Book: 278 pages, 8.30 MB Publisher: Kungfulibrary.com (eBook in pdf, 2004) Publisher: Lulu.com (Paperback, 2006) Language: English The book “Training Methods of 72 Arts of Shaolin” by Jin Jing Zhong is devoted to the most enigmatic and little-known aspect of training of Shaolin monks. The book was written in 1934 with blessing and direct participation of the Abbot of the Shaolin Monastery Reverend Miao Xing nicknamed “Golden Arhat”, one of the best Shaolin fighters of all times. Training methods described in the book allow to develop supernatural abilities, far beyond abilities of an ordinary man. In the course of many centuries the methods were the base and core of Shaolin combat training, the most secret part carefully hidden from strangers. However, after a huge fire in 1928 that burnt down Shaolin and a greater part of its records the situation changed. An acute problem of preserving the Shaolin heritage for future generations arose. Most probably, it was the principle reason which made Miao Xing reveal one of the main secrets of Shaolin to the public… The book presents full description of exercises and requirements to their execution, as well as the fundamentals of training theory of 72 Shaolin Arts. The book has been translated from the Chinese language for the first time. Many hundreds of monks gained outstanding results and brought fame to Martial Arts of Shaolin for ever. All of them attained such unusual abilities thanks to special secret practices traditionally called “72 Arts of Shaolin”. They are the base and essence of the Shaolin Combat Training… 72 types of Shaolin Arts 1 Mo zhang – the grinding palm 2 Feng zhang – the windy palm 3 Liuxin zhang – the rocket palm 4 Chuanso zhang – the shuttle palm 5 Tui shan zxang – the palm pushing a mountain 6 Pi chai zhang – the palm cutting wood 7 Chen zhuan zhang – the palm breaking bricks 8 Jin zhusa zhang – the palm with iron grasp 9 Jin gou shou – the iron hook-like arm 10 Wa yan shou – the hand tearing out eyes 11 Tanglang shou – the leg of an Mantodea 12 Bai she xin shou – the hand as accurate as a spittle of the white snake 13 Hei hou tiao shou – the black tiger jumps over a mountain 14 Heihu zhua lian shou – the claws of the black tiger grasping the face 15 She mao shou – the hand like a snake-shaped blade 16 Bai xin shou – the hand of eight wizards 17 Zhin cha zhi – the finger like a gold pin 18 Zhou zhi – the bamboo finger, the finger like a bamboo stick 19 Wu kua hongqian zhi – five fingers like red flower pistil 20 Zhin gong zuan zhi – the piercing finger as hard as a diamond 21 Cuan xin zhi – the finger piercing the heart 22 Tou gu zhi – the finger punching holes in bones 23 Yi zhi jin – the finger as hard as metal 24 Chan si zhou – the elbow with a cord wound on it 25 Go xin zhou – the elbow punching the heart 26 Po yin zhou – the elbow breaking Yin 27 Niu chan tui – the dislocated thigh 28 Pe zhu gan – a bamboo fighting pole 29 Gu shu pan gen – twisted roots of a dry tree 30 Te wu gen di – the iron buffalo ploughs soil 31 Fei mai qiao – the leg flying like a feather 32 Hei xian feng – the black water-spout 33 Tie sazou – the iron broom 34 Hou tiao qian – the monkey jumping over a wall 35 Yian qu shui – the swallow drinks water 36 Chang e bian yue –  Sorceress Chan E ascends the moon 37 Tian gou chi yang – the Heaven’s Dog eats the Sun 38 Ha mo zu tian – the toad drills the sky 39 Gang jin juan – the diamond fist 40 Shi kai hua – the stone blossoms out like a flower 41 Zuan xin chui – the hammer punching the heart 42 Lu kai hua – the skull blooming out like a flower 43 Duan mu zhuang – to break a wooden stove-couch 44 Ti jie shi – to break a stone with a leg 45 Fang feng Zhen – Zhen releases winds 46 Da shai dai – to strike at a sand bag 47 Fen mu guan – the coffin broken into pieces 48 Dai tie wa – to wear iron hoops 49 Diao shaku – to hang trousers with sand 50 Yue ying jian – to jump over a moon abyss 51 Feng xuan ai – the flight from a steep precipice 52 Go wu ji – to jump over a roof gable 53 Zuo liu xing – the rocket stance 54 Taishan zhuan – the pole like the Taishan mountain 55 Xin yi ba – the heart and mind clench 56 Qi wei chuan dong – the bristling hedgehog strikes a hole 57 Suang to yue – to embrace the moon 58 Tie gan tui – the leg like an iron pole 59 Kao re guo – the cauldron heated on fire 60 Zuai ti deng – to throw down a stool by a foot 61 Lu da gun – the ass’s strike 62 Zhai she zu – the foot digging soil 63 Guang chuan tie bu shan – to put on an iron shirt on the naked body 64 Wu kong fan jin dou – Wu Kong fights against sinew dislocations 65 Tian bing xia fan – the Celestial Soldier descends the sky 66 Da murien – to strike a man of wood 67 Xie zi zou lu – the scorpion crawls along the road 68 Qian jintui – the leg weighing one thousand jins 69 Zha yan huan zuo deng – to change in an instant the stool 70 Luohan shen gong – Luohan’s magic feat 71 Jiao long nu kong – the coiling dragon growls in wrath 72 Qi guan qi mao – the breath “chi” washes the hair on the skin
