Shaolin Kung Fu Training - Bronze Nazareth

Shaolin Kung fu takes long to learn

So I hope that you will all persevere

Study harder, practice harder

Yo, I travelled from far regions to enter the chambers

They sent me to a school where the books taught danger

Mediate 4:30am, take in nourishment

Practise finger jab at the northern polar scene

Blessed with the technique of the eighteen ancestors

Monk’s Lou Han cave possess the drunken gesture

In the armoury, six harmonies fist principles

Taught me absorb attacks, my armour’s invincible

Practised for years, cobwebs on the console

From the crane, we learned grace and self control

First bitterness, then sweetness attack elite fist

Creep wrist with ancient styles and burning leeches

Dragon form, venomous snake moves tongue

Bones crunch from seven ways of plumb flower punch

White eyebrows, kung fu style, forbidden touch

Open hands test jammers with the twelve stepped push

Read books for a thousand and ninety five days

On tiger style, short knife form, have five inch graze

Leave the abbot amazed with my deadly dazzling ways

Flying crane hand dislodge tissue from the ribcage

The myth stays grounded as all foes are pounded

When the fire form, cotton needle skill abounded

Teachers and fellow monks watch me advance

My __ tail strikes, splitting the stitching off your pants

Moved up the weaponry, proceed towards the goal

The cold viper fracture arms of beggar’s pole

Five elements fist striking vital points at risk

Told one on with the blow on how I truncate the wrist

To preserve and leave here takes many years of practise

The sword style masters, scaphoid be the axis

Asked the abbot if I’m ready for the hall

He said I need more wisdom, looked at me with a pause

Told me, 'don't fear ten thousand kicks they practice once

Fear one kick practised a thousand times, son'
