 The controversial history of Shaolin
Between Shaolin's start in 495AD and the beginning of the Tang dynasty in 618AD, the monks discovered how to combine physical conditioning, breathing techniques, the cultivation of bodily energy, and proper body mechanics with their religious theory, philosophy, scriptural teachings, and devotional prayer curriculum.
To defend against wild animals, Shaolin monks also developed a routine called Xin Yi (heart and mind) Boxing, but it was rudimentary as it aimed to mimic the actions of animals and human labour and did not become an integral system of Shaolin Boxing routines.
