pretty good read. He's translated a lot of documents and many of the stele at the site
and come up with a fairly accurate portrayal of what the Shaolin monastery is and historically how it has functioned since Tang dynasty.
It's a good read for any martial arts enthusiast.

How the Chinese discovered the antipodes ,the new world, antartica, magellan strait, etc before anyone else...whatever...he seems to be forgetting a few other "got there first" civillisations but anyhow
interesting, but his theories certainly seem to make some people go CRAZY-APESHIT, especially some people who would rather the relative pioneer be a white-skinned gentleman, and not a eunoch...
