Thank You

Thank you for getting the replica of the ancient 400 years old Chinese Shaolin Staff manual. I'll be mailing your copy to you shortly.

I took quite some time to carefully scan the pages and made sure they were reproduced as closely as the original. I'm sure the past warriors will be glad that there are still people 400 years later who are still keen in their arts.

If you have any questions while reading the books, please feel free to email me: ChineseLongsword@gmail.com.

While waiting for your manual to reach you, you may also be interested in getting the English translation as an instant eBook download below.

Spreading The Shaolin Staff Legacy

     If you can master the Staff, you'd have created a good foundation in fighting with other weapons. Shaolin monks are revered for their skills in the Staff, hence this comprehensive ancient manual will serve you well in the practice of weaponry combat.

 

     My vision is to see more martial artists practicing the techniques in ancient Chinese martial arts manuals, so that the art can be passed on for future generation.

     I've attempted to translate this manual as literally as possible, so that the interpretation is open to anyone of any martial arts background. The English translated version of this Shaolin Staff manual was finally launched on August 2011.

     Every single line of text is translated individually, so that I'm forced to work on every single word. This prevents me from skipping over difficult words, and helps to ensure that the translation is as precise and complete as possible.

Features to help you learn & understand:

  • Hanyu Pinyin pronunciation for all Chinese text
    To help you pronounce the stances' names accurately.

  • Chinese text side-by-side with the English translation
    For your reference to the meaning of every word.

Theories & Forms

     Contains solo-practice forms, as well as drills that you can practice with a partner. However, you will need to understand the stances in Scroll #2 first. ​

Stances

     There's a total 55 Shaolin Staff stances in Scroll #2. Each stance is generally described quite pragmatically. ​
 

     After you've understood these stances, you can link them up in sequence to practice as forms described in Scroll #1. ​
 

     If you're new to this Shaolin Staff manual, I would suggest that this Scroll #2 to be the first scroll that you should get.

     Then subsequently, you can get Scroll #1 then Scroll #3.
