SHAOLIN TEMPLE 🙏 Henan, China
•
The Shaolin Temple is famous because it is the birthplace of ALL eastern martial arts.
•
Buddhist monks practiced meditation and breathing exercises known as Qigong and Yoga introduced to them by an Indian monk named Bodhidarma. The temple was ransacked several times in its history forcing the monks to learn to defend themselves.
•
They observed how animals fought, tiger, monkey, crane, snake etc and combined this with their knowledge of Yoga. Wushu was born. All Chinese martial arts developed from this practice such as Tai Chi or Wing Chun. They are all known under the umbrella term Kung Fu meaning “hard work”.
•
Japanese martial arts such as Karate meaning “open hand” or Judo meaning “the gentle way” are based on Kung Fu. Korean martial arts such as Taekwondo meaning “ the way of foot and fist” are based on Japanese fighting systems.
•
All the systems are connected and that is why the Shaolin Temple as the birthplace of Kung Fu and the origin of all eastern martial arts is so important.

•
There are few kicks in the Wing Chun system.
•
The front kick is also known as the “shadowless kick” as it attacks directly along the centre line, no higher than waist height without any torso movement and thus no telegraphing giving little to no time to counter.
•
It is devastatingly fast and powerful.
