Die Mönche des Shaolin Kung Fu

The mysterious Zen monastery Shaolin in the heart of China has been the spiritual center of Zen Buddhism and the training ground for monks to master Kung Fu for over 1,500 years. For millions of devout Buddhists, it is a sacred place; for martial arts enthusiasts, it is the center of energy.

For many hundreds of years, interested students have sought out the monastery from a young age to find their master and be initiated into the secrets of traditional martial arts. Those who find their master have the chance to attain spiritual maturity and physical strength, enabling them to master their Qi (life energy). However, the path to becoming a Shaolin master is difficult and long: years of practice, endurance, and sacrifice are required, and living according to the strict rules of Damo, the mysterious founder of the monastery, is a prerequisite.
