Awaken your power – achieve any goal

It’s tempting in life to take the quick, easy route. But choosing this path will never reveal your full potential. To know what you are capable of, you must first learn where your limits lie, for only then will you be able to overcome them.

As ‘The Shaolin Kid’, Sacha Wenk inspires millions of people worldwide sharing the time-tested teachings of Shaolin Kung Fu. In this revelatory book, Sacha reveals how his dedication to the millennia-old traditions and wisdom transformed his own life, and shares the tools you need to conquer any challenge by first finding the strength within.

Structured around the five virtues of Kung Fu: focus, courage, discipline, patience, humility, this practical guide marries martial arts discipline with a revolutionary method for personal growth.
