In Northern China, the monks of the Shaolin temple developed a way to stay strong in body and spirit and in keeping with their spirit, David Carradine hosts a quiet, low-key yet powerful workout session free of the major flash factor. Learn the skills and states of mind named for animals: the snake for the warm-up, the crane for balance, the leopard for power, tiger for stretch and the dragon for energy. End the tape with some mindfulness about your internal energy, and learn how to visualize in order to improve your energy flow. Carradine uses three assistants for this five-part tape.
