Synopsis
Matt Polly, a tall scrawny kid from Topeka, Kansas, dropped out of Princeton after three years of East Asian studies, and traveled to the famous Shaolin Temple in China to turn himself into a kung-fu master. His humorous memoir is less about the rigors and discipline of his martial arts training, and more about the surreal experience of living in China as the country slowly entered the globalized world.

Industry Reviews
"Although Polly may fall short in sharing Shaolin's secrets, as a chronicler of human absurdity he makes all the right moves."
