SHAOLIN TRAINING VIDEO Steve DeMasco Demonstrates Chuan Fa Self-Defense Moves
In Shaolin Chuan Fa — Part 2, Steve DeMasco says, "I've been training with the monks of the Shaolin Temple now for over 9 years. To my surprise, I found out that these techniques that we teach people right away are very high-level techniques [in their curriculum]. Why? Because they're lethal techniques. They're reserved — truly reserved — in China at the temple for high-level monks." Steve DeMasco then proceeds to demonstrate a six-element set of self-defense moves against a strike, including the following components:- block
- strike to the face
- strike to the groin
- takedown
