Zen and the art of training police protection units

Hungarians claim to be the only Europeans with Eastern roots. That may explain the decision to incorporate elements of Zen philosophy and kung fu in training courses for the country's top police units and the presidential bodyguard.

Wang Deqing, a 32nd-generation Shaolin Temple warrior monk who moved to Hungary in 1999, works at Hungary's National Police School as head coach of the Special Police Force and coach of the president's escort.

"Many people think I equip them with kung fu skills," said Wang, speaking at the International Chan Wu Federation center he established in 2003.
