REVISED Shaolin Encyclopedia!

[Sal Canzonieri]

Just got the Revised Shaolin Encyclopedia by Shi De Qian! 2volumes, over 2,000 pages. Conctrating on the forms and the history of the forms, rather than the other stuff that was in the 4 volume version.

Forms (most of them) are shown new with b&w Photos, very clear and many corrections were made to the forms from the previous edition.

Just got it in the mail today. Took less than a week to arrive here, though they said it would be 4-6 weeks! Came directly from Shi De Qian's school.

I'm very happy with they way they cleaned up the forms and made them much more comprehensible!

Is it still only in Chinese, or is there an English language version?

There are various places selling them for over $300 a set, which is too much.

The cheapest and fastest place to get them from is direct from the source:
http://www.shaolins.com/2encyclopedia/

You can use paypal to order from that site.

[Shaolin Wookie]

don't have that kind of cash right now......but if I cannot read chinese (working on that soon), would the investment be worth it?

[ngokfei]

Don't you think its time to learn? If its important to your training/research.

Got the 4 volume set and it contains a plethora of information. Still haven't gotten through 1/3 of it yet.

Sal. How clear are the photos (who's demonstrating)

That's very interesting. I'll have to pick up a copy. Thanks for the heads up, Sal.

Is it all in chinese?

[bawang]

you can read it for free online.

[Sal Canzonieri]

you can read it for free online.

Where? No you can't. Only the table of contents is online for both versions of the sets of books.

[bawang]

it's technically not free, you have to pay a membership fee to beijing online library, then you can read all of its books online, including shaolin encyclopedia.

here is a sample, i googled it
