Shaolin Temple Boxing: Teachings of the Purple Dragon

Andrew Toth

4.9/5 (14341 ratings)

Description:This book is published WITHOUT the permission of my teacher.For about a year and a half I had been taking notes after class, mainly to help me remember the instructions. I did not tell my teacher, the Purple Dragon, that I was doing so because I was sure he would not allow it. The Purple Dragon is a Master of Shaolin Temple Boxing and is very secretive about his art.The colour purple stands for the Crown Chakra, which signifies enlightenment and gives us a clue to the ultimate goal of Shaolin Temple Boxing: enlightenment. That goes without saying: Shaolin is, after all, a Buddhist art.That said, however, the framework of Buddhism in no way diminishes the brutality and savagery of the art. People (myself included) did get hurt in the Purple Dragon’s classes, so while the spiritual part of it was real, so was the physical part.After the year and a half, however, I decided to tell him about the notes. He drew a deep breath and said nothing. But his disapproval was obvious. I ceased taking notes from that point on. And because I did not have his approval to publish the notes, I sat on them for fifteen years. Now, nearing the end of my life, I have decided to publish the instructions, even though my teacher desires the material to remain a secret, disseminated to only a few dedicated followers. I have decided to publish because I feel the material is too important to bury.What is different about this book?This is NOT a book of techniques. Techniques are cheap. Everyone wants magic techniques and every other teacher and author tries to cater to this demand and so there is a glut of techniques on the martial arts market, and all they do is cheapen the art.The first concern of the serious student is WHAT MAKES A TECHNIQUE WORK. Once he learns that, he can take ANY technique, even an inferior one, and make it devastating. That is a primary concern of this book.But the book is more than that. It is also a book about living because, as the Purple Dragon points out again and again, you cannot be a great fighter if your personal life is in disorder. Thus the principles of Buddhism are applied not just to our fighting, but also to our personal lives. To fight well, is to live well; and to live well is to fight well. The two are inseparable.But the book is more than that. It is not a set of lifeless instructions. Through this book you will enter the Purple Dragon’s classes. You will see the Purple Dragon, as he teaches what he teaches. It will be the next best thing to being there in person.Read this book, and then read it again and again and again.
