Produktbeschreibung
A pair of Kung Fu brothers, grown men who really should have known better, travel to the alleged birth place of martial arts in order to train Shaolin Kung Fu. Nowhere is more likely to trip up the ill-prepared than an emerging country at odds with itself. Tottering between the ideologies of Communism and Capitalism, and the collision of ancient and modern, the Middle Kingdom is a beautifully alien world of contradictions. Cultural confusion is not the best place to find traditional Kung Fu. As consumerism turns the world a shade of beige, this book provides a snapshot of a rapidly disappearing China. Part travelogue, part disaster story, this entertaining tale provides useful information on Shaolin history and other Dengfeng tourist areas while serving as an example to any aspiring China/martial arts tourist of how it shouldn't be done. In these interesting times, where not even monks can be relied upon; Wushu were here?
