Only in the martial arts world can some idiot who trains in his basement with an alleged Master (who believes that he is a reincarnation of an ancient warrior), volunteer to moderate a forum and then be considered and “expert” and therefore influential on all things martial arts – particularly things he is closed-minded about or know nothing. I have never claimed to be an expert on the Shaolin Temple. Never said I was a Monk. Never said I was the Be All, End All Great Panjandrum of Anything. I’m just the guy who, along with Professor Mattera, helped unleash the Shaolin Secrets to the world. This name-calling, you-suk-I’m-the-greatest B.S. is for small-minded losers. The Shaolin Secrets, which you can get at http://www.shaolinsecrets.com, is for all martial artists – regardless of style.

They’re fast. Smooth. I once heard an Instructor teaching a technique and he was stressing to the students, “Smooth is fast.” I didn’t really understand what he meant until I trained with the Shaolin Monks. They don’t look fast, yet when they teach and demonstrate something on you, it’s like you’re in slow motion as they just whip around you – or whip you around – like the wind. But that isn’t the best part of training with the Monks. The best part is in the discoveries. They don’t speak English much, if at all. They always have translators with them – except when they are training you. Then, it’s follow the leader. For many people this is a frustrating experience, especially us Americans. We’re used to getting every scrap of information served up to us on the plate – with complete step-by-step instructions on how to do every piece of it, along with a Coach, Therapist, Nutritionist and Manager to answer any questions along the way, make sure we’re hydrated… Not when you train with these guys. It’s Old School. Shut Up – Pay Attention – Follow Along – and You’ll Figure It Out as You Do It. It’s awesome for one reason. You learn along the way because you discover the little things in the techniques as you perform them – the Monks can’t tell you everything. If you make gigantic errors, have your feet backwards or you’re facing the wrong way, they’ll square that away, but the principles and hidden gems – those you discover for yourself on the way. After seventeen years of training with many different martial artists and Masters, I can say that without a doubt, the lessons I learned while training – and watching the Masters c-l-o-s-e-l-y - I discovered many things that they weren’t even focused on teaching. And – because I discovered it on my own – it stuck in my head much better than things I had been “told”. This is why the material and lessons in the Shaolin Secrets is presented like it is. The Shaolin Secrets were created and written by the Shaolin Temple over fifteen hundred years. They wrote and recorded everything just as they teach it. When we had Dr. Shin Min Li translate the manuscripts from Chinese to English, we asked him to keep the context and wording exactly as it was in the Chinese versions. We wanted to make sure that these works were as close to the originals as we could make it. He did a magnificent job. There isn’t a more accurate translation of the ancient manuscripts from the Shaolin Temple anywhere – except at the Shaolin Temple itself. Maybe you can’t go to the Shaolin Temple to train. There probably isn’t a Shaolin Monk living in your town that you can go train with and it’s a little bit of short notice to get on a plane and get out to see me here in Southern California to train with the Monks through this weekend. But you can get your hands on the training manuscripts of the Shaolin Temple and start “discovering” what it is that makes the Shaolin Monks some of the finest martial artists on the planet. Go to http://www.shaolinsecrets.com and get the Shaolin Secrets Volume I & II – and start your Path to Discovery. I’ll keep you posted on the adventures with the Monks. Check back soon for photos.

The Chinese know that the more you work on something and spend time with it – and pay attention to the results and what’s happening to your body and your skills – the more you will learn and discover on your own. They realize that if they “spoon-feed it” to you, you won’t learn as much, nor will you value the information as much as if you worked on it and discovered it on your own. For those of you who already own the Shaolin Secrets Volumes I & II, keep studying and training with them. The amount of benefits and hidden information in those Volumes is enough to keep you busy for a lifetime.

Best, William Huff P.S. – Spent the afternoon recently with Dr. Shin Min Li, the translator who transcribed the Shaolin Secrets from Chinese to English.

There are also two exciting projects that will be announced in the next few weeks, so stay tuned for that. Now let’s get to a Nastygram that was sent to me by a well-wisher. Normally I just delete things like this but since this isn’t the first time I received an e-mail with points like this, I thought it would be good to share it with everyone. The e-mail wasn’t signed so I used this person’s email as the signature but left out the whole address. I also left the e-mail exactly as I received it. “Hello, Firstly, i wish to point out that the head abbot of the shaolin temple is not called Shi Yun Shin, his name is Shi Yong Xin, i know this because he is my shifu's (who spent 16yrs at the shaolin temple) master. i have just come back from spending 3 months in china training with shaolin fighting disciples everyday. i guess my main point is that i find it sad that a westerner is claiming to have the "secrets of shaolin", the reason shaolin disciples are so good at what they do is that they train at least 8 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. They do not have "super human" strength as you proclaim, they are just immensely fit and well conditioned. To claim that a regular person can attain shaolin levels of conditioning "at their own pace" is ridiculous. The "secret" is hard daily training and conditioning. There also needs to be a strong spiritual devotion to truely understand the movements in the forms. True enough there are forms that are not taught to all disciples and only those that remain for a long time are shown these. But they are shown, not given a book and told to learn as that would just not work. There is only 1 way to become like the shaolin, and that is to train with a true master, a shifu, with the knowledge and experience to show you. The bottom line is that there aren't any "secrets" there's just hard training. Craigtheninja@!#$%^.com” (I didn't release his e-mail address for privacy reasons) Craig, Something tells me you don’t own the Secrets of the Shaolin Temple Volume I – if you did, you would see that at the front of the Volume, translated by the National Library of China under the direct authority of the Head Abbot, is the name of the Head Abbot spelled out exactly as I use it. I figured since the Head Abbot himself was the editor of the translations, it’s doubtful he missed the spelling of his own name. I haven’t head of a Chinese instructor referred to as “Shifu”…Sifu I’ve heard of. If this is a new way of pronouncing it or another way, thank you for sharing it with me. I am a westerner and I don’t “claim” to have the Shaolin Secrets…it’s a fact. If you go to http://www.shaolinsecrets.com, you can see the ceremonial photos from July of 2001 when the Volumes were presented to Professor Charles Mattera by the Head Abbot himself. I agree that the Shaolin Monks are incredibly conditioned and super-fit…but if you or anyone else thinks that you can break steel bars over your head, get suspended on the end of razor sharp spear tips or smash solid bamboo bats over your exposed limbs just by “working out 6 to 7 days a week for 8 hours a day”, then may I suggest that there may be a very important part of the Shaolin Secrets training that you are completely missing. Just working out all day every day isn’t the key. If it was, professional athletes from many different sports would be able to perform the amazing feats of power and energy, just like the Shaolin Monks – and they can’t. I agree that to attain true mastery you must eventually get a Coach or Instructor. I have written on more than one occasion about the importance of personal instruction to understand and develop your skills to their best. But, along with a Coach, you absolutely have to be able to get your hands on the best information possible, and the Shaolin Secrets are without a doubt the most accurate source of information there is on the Shaolin Arts. Where do you think the Ancient Monks of the Shaolin Temple learned this stuff from? Why do you think they wrote it down? You don’t think that when they have a question they don’t consult their manuals? What does a lawyer or a doctor or any professional do when they have a question or need to find an answer? They go to their reference materials, training manuals, textbooks, journals, law reviews and whatever else they can to find their answers and increase their knowledge. The Monks of the Shaolin Temple are no different. To say that anyone can achieve a level of conditioning like the Shaolin Monks at their own pace is not ridiculous. Anyone, should they choose to, can start training with the various methods contained in the Shaolin Secrets and, depending how hard they work and the time the put in, can take their conditioning to new levels. If it takes them three months or thirty years, it makes no difference – it’s up them. Nowhere did I or anyone else say that you could get the Shaolin Secrets and with no work or no effort get in shape like the Shaolin Monks. As for “There are no secrets, it’s just hard work”, I could not disagree more. If I know something and you don’t, then it’s a secret – to you. Hard work alone isn’t the answer. If it was, then the guys who can do the most push-ups in class would be the best martial artists. It’s about attitude, heart, focus, a good Coach, proper practice… and making sure that you are getting the best information you can about what it is you are doing and trying to master. For the Shaolin Arts, that information comes from the Shaolin Temple of China and the Ten Ancient Training Volumes. It sounds like you don’t own the Shaolin Secrets, but you think that because of your experience and people you know that you know what’s best. There’s a saying that’s been around the martial arts for a long time – “Empty Your Cup”. I think that if you wanted to and truly “Emptied Your Cup”, you would be pleasantly surprised at how much the Shaolin Secrets could help you in your quest to be the best you can be in the martial arts. To get your hands on Volumes I & II, go to http://www.shaolinsecrets.com and get yours today. Best, William Huff P.S. – Tons of great feedback from happy martial artists and non-martial artists on the Shaolin Secrets. Two great projects on the horizon and three new products…stay tuned. ]]> http://gator205.hostgator.com/~ss1/ssblog/2007/07/empty_your_cup.html http://gator205.hostgator.com/~ss1/ssblog/2007/07/empty_your_cup.html Tue, 24 Jul 2007 11:54:17 +0000
