Part Three, “The Weapon Art,” offers an overview of the weapons used in Chuka Shaolin, which includes the pole, long spear, iron rulers, twin knives, and farmer’s hoe. The six-and-a-half-point pole form is then presented, along with fighting applications of the pole and other weapons.

Part Four, “The Healing Art,” discusses the little-known healing dimensions of Chuka Shaolin. This section provides a discussion on the use and practice of chi kung, or internal energy exercises, and presents an overview of the impact healing art used to treat old injuries to the musculoskeletal system.

The book concludes with an afterword, a lineage of the art’s masters and teachers, and a complete list of the solo and two-person empty-hand and weapon forms found within the system. In the interest of keeping the text easy to read, most of the art’s terms are presented in English. For those interested in the original Chinese spellings, a glossary of terms in English and Mandarin is found at the end of the book.
