Book Reviews of the Spirit of Shaolin: A Kung Fu Philosophy
Customer Review: I'm not a kung fu expert but I play one on TV.
Summary: 1 Stars
David Carradine is not considered a martial arts expert by anyone I know and I've been in the community for over 10 years. I find it funny that he criticized Bruce Lee for being more of an actor than a MA (this is what we call hypocrisy). Bruce Lee was a world class MA who brought Eastern and Western styles together. Carradine who is an actor who had to learn some Martial Arts for a role. If your interested in the TV show or Carradine then this is for you. If you want to know about Shaolin philosophy, then pick up a good book about Ch'an Buddhism - because that's what Shaolin monks practice. There are also much better books about MA philosophy like "Zen in the Martial arts" and "Beyond the Known".
