Fighter
The requirements for a Shaolin Fighter are expressed
in a form of sayings:
To be as graceful as a cat
This rule says that in a fight one should make light,
easy and graceful movements like the cat does.
To be as heavy as a mountain
One should maintain stances like a mountain that can
not be moved off. One should train in mabu (rider)
stance and pole standing stance. Those two exercises
are the most important methods to train strong feet and
to regulate your breathing.
As hard as iron
With the help of some methods of physical conditioning body, arms and legs of the fighter must become
as hard as iron and in the contact with the enemy affect
him like metal objects.
Final Comments
The Shaolin writings presented here originated from
Master Lam Sai Wing (1860-1943) in his canonical
Books.
