Kung Fu masters need a strong fist and mental strength to defeat their enemies. And from this man, although he is considered unsurpassed in his field, I wanted to run away even before the battle began.
Su Kong Tai Jin was born in China in 1849. The boy suffered from hypertrichosis from birth. His family was very religious and superstitious. The parents believed that the child was possessed by a demon, and took the boy to die in the forest.
Patient with hypertrichosis
By luck, a monk traveling through the forest discovered the baby and took him to the Shaolin Monastery. There the child was raised by monks.
Shaolin
He was trained in martial arts, and it quickly became clear that the adopted boy was not only exceptional in appearance, but also very gifted. One can only imagine how spectacular the training of the young man looked, who not only had the grace of an animal, but also looked similar to a young animal. He quickly became the favorite of many Shaolin masters, and as a result, each master passed on his knowledge to the young werewolf.
The student greedily, like a sponge, absorbed knowledge and diligently mastered every technique shown to him. He became the first to master more than 200 different hand-to-hand combat techniques and more than 140 weapon systems. Among his skills was the semi-mythical technique of Chi Ma - “Touch of Death”. After several years of intensive training, he became the first great master of Shaolin Do.
The boy who was left in the forest to die became known as Su Kong (Grand Master) Tai Jin.
Perhaps the most striking thing about this story is that it is not fiction. Su Kong Tai Jin was a real person, he actually suffered from hypertrichosis, and he is truly associated with Shaolin.
Tai Jin
Of course, over the years, the master’s biography has undergone some allegorical trimming and romanticization, but the story itself is true.
There are numerous eyewitness accounts who were familiar with the master and saw him in reality. Tai Jin lived a long life, trained many masters, and proved that even serious differences from others will not become a hindrance if you firmly follow the path of achieving your goal.
