Shi Yanxuan is a monk at the Shaolin Temple in central China's Henan Province. Because of his love for traditional kung fu since childhood, Shi joined the Shaolin monk team at the age of 14. He practices a difficult soft weapon, the Shaolin three-section cudgel. The three-section cudgel consists of three short sticks. It can be used in various ways to attack and defend with a flexible range. The practitioners concentrate all of their strength and coordinate their body, the cudgel and their feet, in order to exert maximum power.
