Shaolin temple at the age of 12? Perhaps he trained at one of the schools near the temple?
Many parents will send their children to Shaolin temple to learn kung fu when the children were very young. So i am not surprised to hear this Kung fu master went to learn kung fu at 12. It takes a lot of practice.
Larry was and still is the best instructor I have ever had. He has taught and inspired me in many ways, and I believe he will continue to be an inspiration to many more after me.
