"Hi everybody my name is Bruce Wen. I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to become a Shaolin martial artist. Once again my name is Bruce Wen, and let me tell you about my martial arts background. Early in the 1900 my grandfather started training at the Shaolin temple where he decided that he is going to be a monk. By 1928 was the burning of the Shaolin temple. So he had to escape, when he defected and he ran south he met with my grandma got married and the rest becomes history. Now comes my father, which also happens to be training in Shaolin kung fu with my grandfather. When I was born around three years old my father decided that he was going to take me back to the Shaolin temple where my grandfather used to practice as a, when he was younger. So in 1986, we hopped on the train, and for 24 hours in the train we finally reached Shaolin. There I started training very hard for my master every day for at least eight hours a day. Over the past decades I've been to various tournaments, national international. And I also travel with the Shaolin monks to give performance worldwide. In 2005 I started the United States Shaolin Martial Arts Academy in the hope of spreading the roots out to the Westerner. Now currently I teach more than 200 students."
