An American Shaolin recounts his experiences

Growing up as a 98-pound weakling tormented by bullies in the schoolyards of Kansas, young Matthew Polly dreamed of going to the Shaolin Temple in China to become one of the world’s toughest fighter. He dropped out of Princeton to train with the legendary sect of monks who invented Kung Fu. He wrote about the experience in his new book American Shaolin: Flying Kicks, Buddhist Monks, and the Legend of Iron Crotch and joins Coy Barefoot on WINA’s “Charlottesville–Right Now!” to talk about it.
