Chinese KungFu

By Lu Hongjun

Dont try these moves at home! Best known for its depiction in martial art movies, Shaolin Kung Fu, dates back 2,000 years and is one of Chinas most prized and impressive art forms. See kung fu as it has never been captured before: monks engaged in Flying Swallow Breaking the Broadswords (meditating while standing on ones head), Lying the Fork on His Stomach (balancing ones entire body on the sharp point of a spear) and Diaodinggong (hanging from trees with a rope around ones neck). the monks shown all train at the famed Shaolin Temple in Shaanxi, China. From callow boys to wizened men, no matter their age, each kung fu master defies gravity and pushes the physical limits of the human body.b
