Life
Su Kong Tai Djin was born in 1849 in a poor province of China. His parents were superstitious as were most Chinese at that time. When they saw his affliction they thought he was a demon and left him in the forest to die. A Shaolin monk passing traveling in the forest came along the child and took him back to the Fukien Shaolin Temple. There he was raised by the monks who named him Su Kong Tai Jin. They trained him in martial arts and quickly discovered he was an exceptional human being. Each master passed their knowledge on to Su Kong. He was the first to master over 200 different empty hand systems and over 140 weapon systems. Some of his specialties were in sixth sense training and Chi Ma (Death Touch) training. After several years of extensive training Su Kong became the first Grandmaster of Shaolin and one of the first to master all skills of the seven Shao-Lin temples.
