    About this ebook

    Grandmaster Wong is a fourth-generation successor of the renowned Southern Shaolin monastery in Putian, China. Living in Malaysia, he travels the world spreading the "greatness of kung fu" throughout the world through the Shaolin Wahnam institute. Learn about the masters Sifu Wong studied under and hear stories of how he trained and how he has been working to improve kung fu teaching methods to share his art with the world.

    In this book we talk about how Qi Gong can help to heal today's modern society and how "good health is natural," as well as how kung fu training has evolved in recent times and will continue to evolve in the future.

    “Why do people get sick? ... It is because the energy that helps the natural process to maintain good health is blocked from doing its work.” - Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit

    “We are serious about wanting to preserve the greatness of kung fu. To do so, we have to share those secrets that make kung fu great.” - Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit

    “Good health is natural. Today, so many people are sick and weak. They mistakenly think that being sick and being weak is natural. That’s not true. Being healthy is natural.” - Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit

      Introduction

      This book is taken from a dialog with Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit in May of 2011. As a part of the Martial Arts Lineage Project, this discussion revolves around the history of Shaolin Kung Fu and how it has evolved and changed in modern times. Grandmaster Wong speaks of his own Kung Fu training experience and the masters he learned from. He combined the teachings from these masters to create the worldwide Shaolin Wahnam Institute. He also explains how Kung Fu and Chi Kung training can improve your health physically, mentally and spiritually.

      It is with great pleasure that I bring you this discourse with the eloquently spoken and exceptionally insightful Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit.
