everybody was kung-fu fighting

In 1849, a strange boy was born in China. His family thought he was a demon; his whole body was covered with hair. Scared of their offspring, his parents left him in a nearby forest. This unfortunate act turned out to be the key to an extraordinary life. A monk discovered the baby and brought him to the Fukien Shaolin Temple.

The monks named him T'ai Djin. Right from the start, the discipline and ideals of the temple was instilled in his young mind. He grew up, devoted to studying each branch of the Shaolin system with Fukien masters. He became an expert of each-- no one at that time has achieved such knowledge. Soon, he earned the title "Su Kong" or Grandmaster.

He became a teacher himself, and passed his wisdom & skills to many others. One of his students became the next grandmaster of Shaolin Do, Ie Chang Ming. He died in 1928 at the age of 79.
