The Monk From Brooklyn; An American At The Shaolin Temple

The Shaolin Temple, the birthplace of Kung Fu and modern Chinese Buddhism, is the oldest and most mysterious kung fu school in the world. It is an exotic and mythical destination of daydreams to millions of people. In the history of the temple, very few foreigners have ever had a chance to study there. Foreigners have been allowed to study in many of the Shaolin schools, near the temple, which have taken the Shaolin name as a marketing ploy, but less than fifty foreigners have studied at the original Shaolin Temple...

1) The link's busted.

2) There is a gun-related angle here, right?

Aw come on...

Doesn't Rich Lucibella have a soft spot for Kung Fu?

I fixed the link.

Jody, just for your own edification, you cannot copy and paste a truncated link and have it work. I had to do some digging to find the proper link, but it works now.

Also, since this isn't gun related, I'm going to move it to Tactics and Training. It may be a little exotic, but it goes better in that forum than anywhere else.

I'll leave it up to the T&T mods as to whether it stays open or not.
