May June 2011 SHAOLIN SPECIAL

I know, I know. Our March April 2011 hasn’t even hit the newsstands yet so it seems rather presumptuous to bring up our May June 2011. However, I’m encouraging you all to subscribe early as there will be two special inserts for subscribers in this issue.

The first is a special limited-edition DVD, produced just for this issue.

The second is a special card for Conquest Online with a scratcher that reveals a unique password to get you 155 TQ points.

Don’t get left out. Subscribe now!

This issue is our Shaolin Special 2011

I’ve added that to the thread title. It’s at press now, so if you want to receive the special inserts above, subscribe now! Otherwise, be sure to pick us up on the newsstands - this issue drops on 4/5/11.

after the only bookstore that carried kung-fu magazine closed in my area, i am happy to say that i have subscribed - and look forward to any and all of the inserts (krist WANT free!!!).

Thanks for that, Krist!

To get in on this issue and the TWO FREE INSERTS, subscribe by St. Patrick’s Day 2011.

I just subscribed for two more years. Hope I made the cut-off!

You’re good, Chief_Suicide. Thanks for your support.

What’s more, CONQUER ONLINE is holding a contest for a free trip to Shaolin. You need to be a player to register, so the free CQ scratcher will get you on your way. :cool:

Two year subscription for a good magazine- just now done.
With Borders closing an option is gone.

May / june 2011

Thank You Gene

Got my May/June Magazine today, excellent work. The DVD that came with it SHAOLIN BODHIDHARMA CANE is a really nice gift. The DVD is well done , it gives people a very good insight into the Cane and how it is used. I haven’t finished reading the entire Magazine but it is as always excellent.

The quality of the photos, pages, articles, information etc is great, very impressive.

Thank you

Ron

Thanks for your support, Ron

In honor of our Shaolin Special 2011

I have a few Shaolin-based articles lined up for our e-zine. We’ll be running them for the duration of this issue being on the newsstands. Here’s the first installment.

Kung Fu Training in China: Pursuit of a Dream by Clemente Liberto, the sequel to his article, Shaolin Training in China: From Expectation to Reality.

The next in our Shaolin Special sidecar artices on the e-zine

Shaolin Kung Fu Training and Chan Buddhism: An interview with Abbot Shi Yan Fan by Stacey Nemour.

Just picked up my copy at Barnes&Noble bookstore. Excellent! looking forward to watching DVD.:slight_smile:

Thanks for supporting us on the newsstands, PalmStriker

I hope you enjoy that DVD. It’s actually a rough cut of our new DVD Bodhidharma Cane & Shaolin Tonfa. The free insert DVD has the complete single Bodhidharma Cane form. The complete DVD adds basic movement drills, applications, narration by yours truly and of course, the double Bodhidharma cane (AKA Shaolin tonfa). NOTE: The complete DVD is only $9.95.

We also offer Master Kits:
Bodhidharma Cane and Instructional Bodhidharma Cane & Shaolin Tonfa DVD: $23.99
Tonfa and Instructional Bodhidharma Cane & Shaolin Tonfa DVD: $22.99
Bodhidharma Cane , Tonfa and Instructional Bodhidharma Cane & Shaolin Tonfa DVD: $35.99.

Handmade Bodhidharma Canes ~ available now for only $18.99! We’re importing these directly from makers at Shaolin.

Response has been really positive so far. I’ve had good feedback, much more than the usual. Readers are particularly interested in tonfa. Sales on the Bodhidharma canes are so brisk that we might have to reorder very soon. Thank you all for your support on this. I have a personal attachment to the Bodhidharma cane, as I’ve discussed in my book Shaolin Trips, so it’s very gratifying to be able to bring it to America.
