 - Finally, a kung fu book whose title matches the content!I loved this book! The exercises are (generally) things that you can actually do at home, and though I've only had it for a bit I've gotten some real benefit out of them. Don't get this book if you're looking for a manual on self-defense and technique. This one's all about conditioning, so it's best if you already have a background in a martial art and use this to make you better at it! Rating: - Worth its weight in goldI bought this book when i was browsing around for different exercises to supliment with my martial arts training and out of all the books i bought this is one thats not hidden away in my book box Weather you are looking for exercises or want to know more about the history and the way monks trained, this book is worth its weight in gold. Since i dont mind the history I'll just talk about the exercises Basicaly the book is full of mostly isometric, body conditioning and yoga/tai chi/chi gung type exercises, but also has many weight and plyometric exercises, each one focused but not limited to the martial arts. If you are a martial artist it would be very hard for you to not get at least one exercise that you will fall in love with :) Although you need to build stuff for some like someone sayed, only a few exercises you probably wont be able to do because of its complexity of aparatus, and a few like the groin conditioning exercise are purely for entertainment purposes but there are some gold nugets in this book that are more than worth it Buy this book! :):):) Rating:  - Revealing ancient Secret Knowledge of Kung Fu (Gong Fu)... This book Reveals Secrets within Chinese Martial Art - Shaolin Gong Fu (Kung Fu) never published in the western world before... The book was released and translated into English only 1934 due to a disastrous fire that burned 1000 years old documents in the main monastry of Shaolin - the book is an attempt to recreate the lost written knowledge from Old 'Masters' still alive - the result is a book that will take you on a lifelong journey to master Gong Fu (Kung Fu). An unique book for any Martial artist. Unfortunately the quality of the translation from Chinese is not always the best and more pictures would be very helpful... Mats Fondelius - CEO from USA/SWEDEN Rating: - I M ABOUT TO BUY ANOTHER SHAOLIN BOOKthis book has all the exercises,just as promised. The thing you have to remember is the time it was written in. So youre going to have to buy some things...a lot of things if you want to become good with the training. Another thing: dont buy this if you dont have patience. A lot of the exercises take a "warm up". The thing is tht it takes 100 days,then 10 more years to completely master. But dont let this stop you good luck
