Membership Benefits

There are a number of benefits to joining the SDA. In addition to supporting the spread of Shaolin-Do and Grandmaster Sin Thé, you also receive an in-depth training manual, a newsletter, and (if you are not a black belt) admittance to seminars and classes you would not normally be eligible to attend.

Training Manual

As a member of the Shaolin-Do Association, one of the benefits of your membership is the training manual which contains information about the SDA, the history of Shaolin-Do, rank advancement criteria, articles written by masters and students, and "Tales from the Temple".

This manual was recently rewritten from scratch and includes so much more than the original version. It is filled with great stories, interviews, photographs, and other information. If you are already an SDA member, you will receive your new manual when you renew your SDA membership. Worried that your membership doesn't expire soon? Why not renew right now? We'll extend your membership and send you your new manual right away!

For those of you who haven't seen the new manual yet, check out the sample pages below. Click on the images below to see a larger version of each featured page!

Newsletter

The Shaolin-Do Association's newsletter is the Shaolin Tao. The newsletter contains featured articles on various masters and their schools, articles about training, interviews with Grandmaster Sin Thé, artwork, upcoming events, and other news concerning the SDA. It is delivered via email in color, or in black and white via a printed copy.
