We learned that the Shaolin monks cared for and really looked after younger monk students. They are supposed to have their little brother's back at all times.
The invading Manchu warriors had interesting weapons on their backs which were able to kill an opponent by shooting these projectiles from those harnesses.
We learned how to properly fall, called ukemi. To me, it was easy because I did it before studying with Sensei Riley. But overall it was good to relearn it because I would have forgotten what to do if we went to another dojo.
We saw the technique called iron body demonstrated by the Shaolin monks laying on actual swords and nails which seems like it would cut through them but it did not which was surprising.
