I am very pleased with the support and hospitality we have received.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The engaging and receptive Martial Arts Monk complimented the local club\u2019s competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, they are very eager and they all showed how energetic they are.&nbsp; The future is very bright and I am very happy about it.\u201d&nbsp; The 55-year-old Grand Master, who was very much at ease with media questions, discussed the essence of Martial Arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a culture. This is the most important thing. Their interest is the spark that will be felt for generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shifu Max Rendinella, who hails from Montreal and whose Martial Arts Club co-sponsored the event, made the travel arrangements for the Grand Master and has made a pilgrimage to the Shaolin Temple in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was excited to facilitate the Grand Master\u2019s visit. It\u2019s very important for Martial Arts clubs in Aurora and all over Ontario to have events like these.&nbsp; It\u2019s the Grand Master\u2019s first visit to the GTA to teach and to visit Shifu Tim\u2019s school, as well. The Shaolin Temple is the mecca of the traditional martial arts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By Jim Stewart<\/strong><\/p>\n\r\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35433&#038;t=Aurora%E2%80%99s%20Shaolin%20Martial%20Arts%20Club%20hosts%20%E2%80%9CMaster%20of%20Masters%E2%80%9D%20Shi%20De%20Yang%20of%20the%20Shaolin%20Temple%20in%20China&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35433&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F11%2F2024-11-21-03.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Aurora%E2%80%99s%20Shaolin%20Martial%20Arts%20Club%20hosts%20%E2%80%9CMaster%20of%20Masters%E2%80%9D%20Shi%20De%20Yang%20of%20the%20Shaolin%20Temple%20in%20China\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35433&#038;text=Like%3F\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Aurora%E2%80%99s%20Shaolin%20Martial%20Arts%20Club%20hosts%20%E2%80%9CMaster%20of%20Masters%E2%80%9D%20Shi%20De%20Yang%20of%20the%20Shaolin%20Temple%20in%20China&#038;body=Like%3F:%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35433\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shi De Yang of the Shaolin Temple in China gave an instructional workshop and demonstrated martial arts techniques to eighty-six participants at the Shaolin Martial Arts Canada facility in Aurora last weekend.
