YONG XIN VISITING THE QUEEN
Traditional Shaolin Kung Fu is one of
the oldest martial arts in the world and as a result
all martial arts are either a direct or indirect descendant
of Shaolin Kung Fu.
Shaolin Monks have been developing their
skills for over 1500 years. Bodhidharma (Damo) was the
first to develop this system and taught the monks of
Shaolin its basic routines to improve their health and
eventually to defend themselves.
Shaolin Kung Fu covers all aspects of
martial arts from empty hand techniques, weapons, self-defence,
grappling to external and internal well being.
Shaolin Temple
The Shaolin Temple in the Henan Province of China is
the spiritual and historical centre of Shaolin Kung
Fu.
