The introduction of different martial arts in the book reminded me of a friend of mine who is a martial arts enthusiast and is particularly fascinated by Shaolin boxing. Moreover, the book also mentions the story of Patriarch Bodhidharma. I think his tenacity and perseverance are worth learning from. This book is not only informative, but also allows us to understand some life principles from the story. I will recommend it to other friends.
