"Real Shaolin" doc in the US

The renowned feature documentary The Real Shaolin, about 4 people who study Kung Fu at the Shaolin Temple in China, will have it's USA premiere at the VC Film Festival on Saturday May 2nd at 5pm at the Laemmle Sunset 5 theater.

The USA premiere follows the successful World Premiere at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival, where it sold out all 3 screenings in a 600 seat theater. There will only be one screening available and this may be one of the last times the film will play on the big screen in the US.

The Real Shaolin follows the story of two Chinese and two Westerners who are inspired by Kung Fu movies starring Bruce Lee and Jet Li. They journey to the Shaolin Temple in China, known as the birthplace of Kung Fu and Zen Buddhism, and undergo a year of rigorous martial arts training in the hopes of becoming Kung Fu warriors.

Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The typical story is a patient who presents to the emergency department with fever, a cough, three to four days of malaise and mild shortness-of-breath (SOB). The patient may complain of mild pleuritic chest pain without nasal congestion and pharyngitis. Fever can be as high as 102.5 degrees F with temperatures to 101.4 degrees F. Conversational dyspnea might be obvious. Oxygen saturations can be impaired as evidenced by pulse oximetry. Chest X-rays usually demonstrate bilateral patchy air-space opacities.

Transmission of SARS is primarily through contact and large droplet (more than 5 microns and, therefore, likely to fall within 3 feet) spread of secretions. Contact with body fluids including respiratory secretions, vomitus, and stool may result in transmission of the virus. Transmission of SARS occurred most frequently in household contacts or at the hospital with infrequent occurrences of community spread. Routes of transmission for SARS include close contact (fomites, droplet, or direct contact), airborne spread (airplane, Amoy Gardens - a housing complex where a plume of SARS-contaminated virus arose from blocked sewage and was carried on air currents, and the fecal-oral route).

Shaolin FAQ - Training FAQ

Ever wonder what the process was for training in Shaolin? Well, it's different for everyone; people come from various countries and circumstances, and things can be distinctly incomparable at times. But, overall, the questions tend to be similar. Over the years I've helped many people find good training opportunities in Shaolin, and over the years, generally, it's the same questions and answers. I've created some areas in the FAQ sections to help answer those questions, but I thought that if I posted a thread of questions and answers that was fairly within limits of the norm of what I get over the years, it might prove helpful to those of you who want to make the journey. So, I've put together some messaging with one of the latest members of our community who has made the trip to Shaolin to train. The thread is rather extensive, but within it lies answers to some commonly asked questions, and some pearls of wisdom that all travelers to Shaolin really need to know.

The initial question was, as usual, "How much does it cost to train in Shaolin?" The question was more specifically asked about Shi De Cheng's school in Dengfeng, right outside of the Shaolin temple area. The comments in italics are my responses, the type in normal font are the potential student's questions.


Dear doc
I'm interested in training with Shi De Cheng at his school in China later this year. Can you give me more information? How do I do this? Sorry to bother you!

About 2000 people join the ceremony and about 100 monks are reciting the buddhist scripture for him.Some local people are taking some sacrificial offerings for him.About 50 reporters and some persons from the TV Station are joining the ceremony.

Becuse there are many people and I have no the certificate,I am unable to take the pictures near the pagoda.
