Shaolin Kung Furefers to a collection ofChinese martial artsthat claim affiliation with the

Shaolin Monastery.

Of the multitude styles ofkung fuandwushu,only some are actually related to Shaolin.

Aside from a few very well known systems, such asXiao Hong Quan, theDa Hong Quan,

Yin Shou Gun,Damo Sword, etc.,[citation needed], after the loss of records during the 20th

Century Cultural Revolution it would be almost impossible for a particular style toconclusively establish a connexion to theTemple.

Internal and external arts

Huang Zongxidescribed martial arts in terms of Shaolin or "external" arts versusWudangorinternalarts in 1669.[1]It has been since then that Shaolin has been popularly synonymous for

what are considered the external Chinese martial arts, regardless of whether or not the

particular style in question has any connection to theShaolin Monastery.Some say that there

is no differentiation between the so-called internal and external systems of the Chinese

martial arts,[2][3]while other well-known teachers have expressed differing opinions. For

example, theTaijiquanteacherWu Jianquan:

Those who practice Shaolinquan leap about with strength and force; people not proficient at

this kind of training soon lose their breath and are exhausted. Taijiquan is unlike this. Strive

for quiescence of body, mind and intention.[4]

In 1784 theBoxing Classic: Essential Boxing Methodsmade the earliest extant reference to

the Shaolin Monastery as Chinese boxing's place of origin.[5][6]Again, this is a misconception,

as Chinese martial arts pre-date the construction of theShaolin Templeby at least several

hundred years.[3][7]

Origin

Legend of Bodhidharma

Main article:Bodhidharma at Shaolin

According to theJingde of the Lamp, afterBodhidharma,a Buddhist monk fromSouth

India,[8]left the court of theLiangemperorWuin 527, he eventually found himself at the

Shaolin Monastery, where he faced a wall for nine years, not speaking for the entire time.

According to theY Jn Jng,

after Bodhidharma faced the wall for nine years at Shaolin temple and made a hole with his

stare, he left behind an iron chest. When the monks opened this chest they found two books:

the Marrow Cleansing Classic,

[9]

and the Muscle Tendon Change Classic, or"Yi JinJing"[10]within. The first book was taken by Bodhidharma's disciple Huike, and disappeared;

as for the second, the monks selfishly coveted it, practicing the skills therein, falling into

heterodox ways, and losing the correct purpose of cultivating the Real. The Shaolin monks

have made some fame for themselves through their fighting skill; this is all due to their

possession of this manuscript.[11]

History

1517 stele dedicated to Vajrapani's defeat of theRed Turban rebels.Guanyin(his original

form) can be seen in the clouds above his head.

Further information:Shaolin Monastery#Patron saint

The attribution of Shaolin's martial arts to Bodhidharma has been discounted by several 20th

century martial arts historians, first by Tang Hao on the grounds that theY Jn Jngis aforgery.[12]Stele and documentary evidence shows the monks historically worshiped the

BodhisattvaVajrapani's "Kimnara King" form as the progenitor of their staff and bare hand

fighting styles.[13]

Huiguang and Sengchou were involved with martial arts before they became two of the very

first Shaolin monks, reported as practicing martial arts before the arrival of Bodhidharma.[14]

Sengchou's skill with the tin staff is even documented in theChinese Buddhist canon.

Records of the discovery of arms caches in the monasteries ofChang'anduring government

raids in AD 446 suggests that Chinese monks practiced martial arts prior to the establishment

of the Shaolin Monastery in 497.[15]Monks came from the ranks of the population amongwhom the martial arts were widely practiced before the introduction of Buddhism. There are

indications that Huiguang, Sengchou and even Huike, Bodhidarma's immediate successor as

Patriarch ofChn Buddhism,may have been military men before retiring to the monastic life.

Moreover, Chinese monasteries, not unlike those of Europe, in many ways were effectively

large landed estates, that is, sources of considerable regular income which required protection.

In addition to that, the Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue, theBibliographies in the

Book of the Han Dynastyand theRecords of the Grand Historianall document the existence

Tang Dynasty (618907)

The oldest evidence of Shaolin participation in combat is astelefrom 728 that attests to two

occasions: a defense of the monastery from bandits around 610 and their role in the defeat of

Wang Shichongat theBattle of Hulaoin 621.

Like most dynastic changes, the end of theSui Dynastywas a time of upheaval and

contention for the throne. Wang Shichong declared himself Emperor. He controlled the

territory ofZhengand the ancient capital ofLuoyang.

Overlooking Luoyang on Mount Huanyuan was the Cypress Valley Estate, which had served

as the site of a fort during theJinand a commandery during theSouthern Qi.[17]SuiEmperor

Wenhad bestowed the estate on a nearby monastery called Shaolin for its monks to farm but

Wang Shichong, realizing its strategic value, seized the estate and there placed troops and a

signal tower, as well as establishing a prefecture called Yuanzhou.[17]Furthermore, he had

assembled an army at Luoyang to march on the Shaolin Temple itself.

The monks of Shaolin allied with Wang's enemy, Li Shimin, and took back the Cypress

Valley Estate, defeating Wang's troops and capturing his nephew Renze.

Without the fort at Cypress Valley, there was nothing to keep Li Shimin from marching on

Luoyang after his defeat of Wang's ally Dou Jiande at theBattle of Hulao,forcing Wang

Shichong to surrender.

Li Shimin's father was thefirst Tang Emperorand Shimin himself became itssecond.

Thereafter Shaolin enjoyed the royal patronage of the Tang.

Though the Shaolin Monastery Stele of 728 attests to these incidents in 610 and 621 when the

monks engaged in combat, it does not allude to martial training in the monastery, or to any

fighting technique in which its monks specialized. Nor do any other sources from the Tang,

Song and Yuan periods allude to military training at the temple.

According toMeir Shahar,this is explained by a confluence of the late Ming fashion for

military encyclopedias and, more importantly, the conscription of civilian irregulars,

including monks, as a result of Ming military decline in the 16th century.[18]

Ming Dynasty (13681644)

From the 8th to the 15th centuries, no extant source documents Shaolin participation in

combat; then the 16th and 17th centuries see at least forty extant sources attest that, not only

did monks of Shaolin practice martial arts, but martial practice had become such an integral

element of Shaolin monastic life that the monks felt the need to justify it by creating new

Buddhist lore.[18]References to Shaolin martial arts appear in various literary genres of the

late Ming: the epitaphs of Shaolin warrior monks, martial-arts manuals, military

encyclopedias, historical writings, travelogues, fiction, and even poetry.[18]

These sources, in contrast to those from theTang Dynastyperiod, refer to Shaolin methods ofcombat unarmed, with thespear,and with the weapon that was the forte of the Shaolin monks

and for which they had become famous, thestaff.[6][18]By the mid-16th century military

experts from all overMing Chinawere travelling to Shaolin to study its fighting techniques.

Around 1560Y Dyutravelled to Shaolin Monastery to see for himself its monks' fighting

techniques, but found them disappointing. Y returned to the south with two monks,

Zongqing and Pucong, whom he taught the use of the staff over the next three years, afterwhich Zongqing and Pucong returned to Shaolin Monastery and taught their brother monks

what they had learned. Martial arts historian Tang Hao traced the Shaolin staff style Five

Tigers Interception to Y's teachings.[citation needed]

The earliest extant manual on Shaolin Kung Fu, theExposition of the Original Shaolin Staff

Method[19]was written in around 1610 and published in 1621 from what its author Chng

Zngyu learned during a more than ten year stay at the monastery.

Conditions of lawlessness inHenanwhere the Shaolin Monastery is locatedandsurrounding provinces during the lateMing Dynastyand all of theQing Dynastycontributed

to the development of martial arts. Meir Shahar lists the martial artsT'ai Chi Ch'an,ChangFamily Boxing,Bguqun,XngyqunandBjqunas originating from this region and thistime period.[18]

Pirates

In the 1540s and 1550s,Japanesepiratesknown aswokouraidedChina's eastern and

southeastern coasts on an unprecedented scale.

The geographer Zheng Ruoceng provides the most detailed of the 16th century sources which

confirm that, in 1553, Wan Biao, Vice Commissioner in Chief of the Nanjing Chief MilitaryCommission, initiated the conscription of monksincluding some from Shaolinagainst the

pirates.[18]Warrior monks participated in at least four battles: at theGulf of Hangzhouin

spring 1553 and in theHuangpu Riverdelta at Wengjiagang in July 1553, Majiabang in

spring 1554, and Taozhai in autumn 1555.[18]

The monks suffered their greatest defeat at Taozhai, where four of them fell in battle; their

remains were buried under the Stpa of the Four Heroic Monks (Si yi seng ta) at Mount ShenearShanghai.[18]

The monks won their greatest victory at Wengjiagang.[18]On 21 July 1553, 120 warrior

monks led by the Shaolin monk Tianyuan defeated a group of pirates and chased thesurvivors over ten days and twenty miles.[18]The pirates suffered over one hundred casualties

and the monks only four.[18]

Not all of the monks who fought at Wengjiagang were from Shaolin, and rivalries developed

among them. Zheng chronicles Tianyuans defeat of eight rival monks from Hangzhou whochallenged his command. Zheng ranked Shaolin first of the top three Buddhist centers of

martial arts.[18]Zheng ranked Mount Funiu inHenansecond andMount WutaiinShanxithird.

The Funiu monks practiced staff techniques which they had learned at the Shaolin Monastery.

The Wutai monks practiced Yang Family Spear (;pinyin:Yngji qang).

Shaolin, in popular culture, has taken on a second life. Since the 1970s, it has been featured

in many films, TV shows, video games, cartoons, and other media. While much of this is a

commercialized aspect of Shaolin, it is also widely credited as keeping the 1500 year old

temple in the consciousness of the world, and from vanishing into obscurity like many other

ancient traditions. The Abbot of Shaolin, Shi Yong Xin, has decided to embrace modern day

pop culture and has used it to the advantage of the temple to keep the temple prominent on

the world stage. Shaolin monks have been featured onFight Science,a National Geographic

television series, performing feats of strength, endurance, and martial arts.

The 1970s television seriesKung FustarredDavid CarradineasKwai Chang Caine,aShaolin monk on the run in the Wild West whose Zen (Ch'an) training is tested along his

journey. Carradine's part was originally to be played byBruce Lee.Ironically, Lee was pulledat the last minute before airing for looking "too Chinese" for an American public accustomed

to white actors portraying ethnic minority characters for a mainly white audience. However,

the character of Caine was supposed to be of mixed Chinese and European ancestry, a fact

which may have also had an influence on this decision. In the 1990s, Carradine starred in the

seriesKung Fu: The Legend Continues,which followed the grandson and great-grandson of

the original Caine in a large modern city.

In 1977, the cult classicShaw Brothersfilm Shaolin Templewas released and in 1982 a film

by the same name starringJet Liis credited as a major reason for the revival of theShaolinTemplein China after theCultural Revolution.[citation needed]The film's story tells the legend of

the Shaolin Temple. This film is followed by countless other films, including anotherShaw

Brothersfilm entitledThe 36th Chamber of Shaolin,which depicts the training of the

legendary Shaolin monkSan Te.

In the 1990s, American hip-hop groupThe Wu Tang Clanarose, often making frequent

references to Shaolin, sometimes as a name for their home,Staten Island,New York. The

references arise from the group growing up in Staten Island in the late 1970s, and being

influenced by movie theaters playing and advertising Kung Fu movies based on the Shaolin

temple's destruction, (led byBarakainMortal Kombat's story), they were so popular, they

were turned into their own video game,Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks.Krillin,a character in

theDragon Ball/Dragon Ball Zuniverse, is also a Shaolin monk, though he abandons the

Shaolin fighting style in favor ofMuten-Rshi's Turtle technique.

In 2000's, Shaolin gets pop-culture recognition by appearing onThe Simpsons(TV series),where they visit the Shaolin Temple in the episodeGoo Goo Gai Pan,which first aired in

2006. That same year, the Abbot of Shaolin invites the K-Star martial arts reality TV show to

film a TV series of foreigners competing to survive Shaolin style training.

Two prominent publications about Shaolin were published in 2007, including the first ever

photo documentary on the temple entitled Shaolin: Temple of Zen, published by the non-

profitAperture Foundation,featuring the photos ofNational GeographicphotographerJustin

Guariglia.The Shaolin Abbot, Shi Yong Xin, has written the foreword attesting the

authenticity of the project. These became the first photographs seen of monks practicing

classical kung fu inside the temple. American author Matthew Polly, also has written a book

recounting his story of his two years living, studying, and performing with the Shaolin monksin China in the early 1990s. A third, more academic book, is "The Shaolin Monastery;

History, Religion, and the Chinese Martial Arts," published by the Israeli Shaolin scholar

Meier Shahar in 2008 about the history of the Shaolin Temple.

While some of these are clear commercial exploitation of the Shaolin Temple and its legends,

they have helped make Shaolin a household name around the world, and kept the temple alive

in the minds of many young generations. To date, no other temple in the world has achieved

such wide spread recognition.

List of styles currently taught at the temple

commander who, using his technique in his armies, became the first Song emperor)

In 1934, Jin Jing Zhong published a book variously known in English as Shaolin 72 Shaolin

Arts Practice Methodor Training Methods of 72 Arts of Shaolin.[23]This work lists what are

alleged to be authentic Shaolin training methods that can produce extraordinary skills and

abilities; examples of these skills includeiron bodytechniques (both offensive and defensive),

jumping and wall scaling techniques, pole-top leaping dexterity training, pressure-point and

nerve manipulation, and a host of other feats. Most of these skills require anywhere fromthree to ten years to master, according to the author. Jin claims to have witnessed many of

these skills himself or to have learned of them from a scroll given to him by Shaolin Abbot

Miao Xing, though the work tends to exaggerate and embellish.[24]

Contemporary training at the Shaolin Temple

While most warrior monks tend to be focused on performance geared toward the touring

troupes, a smaller cadre of Shaolin warrior monks seek the traditional route that focuses

somewhat more on self-defense and authenticity of techniques. In many ways, the

contemporary performing warrior monks are comparable to contemporary wushu artists whofocus on beautiful, elaborately dazzling form rather than original martial application and

fighting prowess. The 72 Shaolin arts are more indicative of the older, original Shaolin

temple fighting system and theory. Also, performing monks are not pressured to practice or

study Zen, while inside the temple, at least a show of deference for the Shaolin customs is

expected by the masters of their chosen warrior monk disciples.
