Features: Bruce Lee, the King of Kung Fu, once said, "The purpose of practicing martial arts is not only to strengthen the body but also to achieve a high level of lethality. Combat is the true essence of martial arts. Any martial art that cannot defeat an opponent cannot be considered a true martial art." Shaolin Taizu Quan is such a well-tested and highly effective combat martial art. Since its establishment, it has always been ranked as the first of the eighteen (supreme martial arts), dominating until today. The 34th generation inheritor, Zhang Shide, demonstrated extraordinary Taizu Kung Fu and won the first prize in the former Central Guoshu Examination. The Taizu combat techniques introduced in this book are those learned by Zhang Shide, featuring comprehensive techniques and unique postures, belonging to the true lineage of the Shaolin school. The author learned this method from Zhang Shide's son, Zhang Tielin, and referred to the Taizu old scrolls while incorporating personal experience to write this book as a gift to future learners. It is hoped that martial arts enthusiasts will cherish it and find great use in combat. To meet the needs of modern sanda, the book particularly emphasizes boxing and leg techniques, and has made some corrections to the original Taizu combat techniques to make them more practical for real-world applications.
