On the sixth of May, we saw the movie The 36 Chambers of Shaolin. In this film, they displayed many different chambers of skills practiced by the monks. My favorite chamber was the bo-staff chamber. My favorite weapon was the butterfly knives because of the way they were flipped in the air and then caught the other weapons during the fight by the mean monk. My least favorite weapon was the Dao (broad sword) because it didn’t seem to have much structure and firmness. Also, another thing that I found interesting was that San Te (Gordon Liu) created the 36 Chamber in order to introduce regular people (non-monks) to the martial arts teachings of the Shaolin to be able to rebel against the Ching (Manchu) Dynasty.
