It had several Yang (hard) Kungs and Several Yin (soft) Kungs. The Yang ones were things like Iron Leg, Iron Palm, Iron Fist, Jumping Kung, Running Kung, Climbing Kung. The soft ones weren't as many but it had red sand palm(? maybe wrong), one finger kung, and maybe a couple others. I forget where it classified the ball kung but the method of training it was to meditate and use your intention to pull your nuts up into the body. Interestingly the Yin Kungs were the one touch or no touch kill type things and they listed a rough time to master with daily practice as 20-30 years. The Yang kungs could be mastered in 3-5 years of daily practice.

though i have no intention of perusing this "skill", i am curious what the training is to allow this. i'm sure everyone here has read kumar frantzis' account of how wang shujin could suck his nuts up into his body, but is that the only way it's done? anyone know of the people i'm talking about and what their training is?

I believe that the book in question is "Kung Fu history, philosophy, technique".
