Shaolin Gong Fu a course in traditional forms 1-5 Vol First Edition by Liu Haike

Description: About the books:Shaolin Gong-Fu - A Course in Traditional Forms in 5 volumes (Volume one, two, three, four and five) all in excellent condition. Written by a Master in Shaolin Kung Fu (Wushu) from the Shaolin Temple Training Centre in Henan Province, China. I understand from my research (and calling the Temple myself and discussing this with one of the Temple workers there) that only 120 copies of these 5 volumes were made (and are no longer in print) because they were specifically made for the Temple use only as a training aid and were supposed to stay within the Henan Shaolin Temple. Some copies of volumes have leaked out in single random volumes (i.e. not a complete set), but this one that I'm selling here is the only complete set that I know that has ever left the Temple complete with all five volumes outside of the Shaolin Temple in China. All 5 volumes are in remarkable condition and are as seen in the photos, no pages missing, no tears, no marks. Complete with excellent condition dust jackets (DJ) as issued, all complete and correct 5 copies are sold here in this listing. Note that the volumes have been corrected post printing by the author/publisher (see second to last photograph). A unique opportunity to own a piece of genuine Shaolin Kung Fu history where the traditional forms have been passed down from generation to generation without loss and illustrated in these five volumes. Never again will we see a complete traditional form in a complete volume set like this. Personally I think these should be in a history museum somewhere.About the author: Headmaster Liu Haike was born in 1965 and he started learning martial arts from an early age.
