The first video footage of Shaolin master Shi De Chao has been uploaded to Aperture's YouTube channel:

In this clip, the master performs a basic form of Shaolin kung fu.  Justin Guariglia (Shaolin: Temple Of Zen, Aperture, 2007) discusses the true nature of the practice, and explains the difference between these movements, and what you might see in a kung fu movie or more commercial exhibition.  The Shaolin: Temple of Zen microsite has information, a sneak peek of the book, and more original video.  Visit the microsite...
