Rating:  - Great Beginners Book
As a beginner with my son, this book on Shaolin Kung Fu was very informative and the diagrams were very well done. The book starts with a description of what is kung fu to the many forms and techniques of the art. I would highly recommend the book to any parent trying to introduce their child to the method of self-defense.
Rating:  - Great Book
This book is very good. It completely explains the history and philosophy of Shaolin Kung Fu. It hits the five main aspects of why a person would practice Kung Fu and follows those five main points through out the book. After reading the book, you can understand that martial arts is not just self defence, it's also a good practice to bring the mind, body, and spirit together.
Rating:  - Good book for intermediate students
Good book with a helpful grasp of the history of kung fu. Also has some very useful information for proper foundations and stances. I feel that you should already have a grasp of some style of kung fu to properly appreciate and understand this book
Rating: - One of the best books on Shaolin Kung Fu
I am a student of Shaolin Kung Fu and have regular classes with our Shifu. This book clarified issues I had questions about and brought up new areas of learning that Shifu hadn't covered, particularly about chi power and focusing energy. Once mentioning the topics from the book in class, we went into new and exciting areas of kung fu that were deeper and more powerful. The author is also a well known expert on Shaolin Kung Fu, so he speaks from vast experience. He strives to help the student in a clear and comprrehensive way. It's my favorite of the thirty or so books I have on Kung Fu. I would highly recommend it to other students.
Rating: - Shaolin Kung Fu
This book is one of my favorites! My copy is old now and the pages are underlined and bent from reading and re reading this book. The book gives one more than enough reading materiel to practice and think about! If you don't have a school near by or good teachers, Mr. Kit gives you more than enough information to begin practice. To this day, I'm fortysix years old, I practice the Shaolin eight exercises Mr. Kit explains in his book for exercise! I have also emailed him to ask him questions and he actually took time to write back and comment on what I should focus on in my practice. I enjoyed this book so much I bought all his other books!
