HISTORY
540 A.D. That is where it all started. In fact, with a Buddhist monk. I don't know his name but I know that he went to a Buddhist monestary. At the monestary he and fellow monks invented a way to resolve conflict. They resovled the conflict by inventing a martial art to be named Shaolin Kung Fu. They only used Gung Fu to protect the monestary and not for evil uses. As the Budhhist theory goes "Do No Harm". They followed that theroy because they are Buddhists.(Look for my Buddhist page in the coming months).
To much of every ones surprise Shaolin Gung Fu is not the proper term. It should be called WUHSHU. Any way the middle stage of Kung Fu is the most important. It invented many of the forms, styles, and techniques. The spread of Kung fu grew through much of China and Tibet.
Today in Shaolin Kung Fu is sad. To me it is hard to find a good academy to learn Shaolin style Kung Fu. We have molded it into a competiton ,if you will. We have inheretad the belt ranking system which is extremly greedy. If you know what I mean. I mean that as soon as you start traning in Kung Fu you want to attain a black sash right away. It is not the point. Originaly there were three ranks, begginer,disciple, and instructor. We have ruined the main asspect. The Grandmaster rank can be in there to but it is only used to notify that you are at least at a second degree Black Sash.
