	Shaolin (martial arts) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shaolin kung fu—more precisely Shàolínquán or Shàolín wǔshù—are those Chinese martial arts that trace their origins to Shaolin, be it the Chan Buddhist Shaolin temple and monastery in Henan Province, China; another temple associated with Shaolin, or even wandering Shaolin monks.
		The Southern Chinese martial arts are embodied by the styles that belong to the related Fujian (Fujian White Crane, Five Ancestors, Wing Chun) and Hakka (Southern Praying Mantis, Dragon) families of martial arts.
		Martial arts traditions in both Japan and Korea cite Chinese influence as transmitted by monks.

	Chinese martial arts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In regard to the Shaolin style of wushu that is currently popular, a legend extant since 1624 CE originally attributed Bodhidharma (Pu Tai Ta Mo in Chinese or Daruma Daishi in Japanese), a Central Asia or South Asian monk, as the progenitor.
		Many Chinese martial arts, and several Japanese martial arts, claim to have originated from the teachings of the legendary Buddhist culture hero Bodhidharma at the Shaolin Temple (少林寺) (a Chan Buddhist monastery) when he is said to have moved to China sometime circa the 6th century CE.
		Another reason why the martial techniques might look different in forms is thought, by some, to come from a need to "disguise" the actual functions of the techniques from outsiders (from rival schools or from the authorities as legend has it happened in Okinawa).

		Martial arts, also known as fighting systems, are bodies of codified practices or traditions of unarmed and armed combat, usually without the use of guns and other modern weapons.
		The history of martial arts around the world is therefore quite complex; on the one hand, most groups of people have had to defend themselves and have developed effective fighting techniques, but on the other hand, most of those techniques have been rendered militarily obsolete over the centuries.
		However, these martial arts mostly adapted to changing technology, so that while their descendants still exist, they are focused on things like flying helicopters and infantry tactics for riflemen.
