Shaolin Temple and Kung Fu
It is said that Shaolin kung fu originally started in the 5th/6th century by a great Buddhist master, Bodhidarma, the transmitter of Zen Buddhism from India to China, as a physical training to improve the health of the monks who sat for long hours during meditation. The Shaolin kung fu has been practiced and evolved by the warrior monks of the temple against numerous attacks throughout history. The Shaolin Temple was destroyed and rebuilt a number of times throughout its history; some valuable ancient teachings were lost, and what remained continues to be passed along by each generation of the highly trained warrior monks. Shifu Xing Xue is an outstanding representative of the 32nd-generation of Shaolin Warrior Monks. He has traveled representing the Temple to a number of countries to promote the Shaolin culture. Now, he has founded the St. Louis Shaolin Kung Fu School in Olivette to spread this cherished ancient heritage, as well as the traditional Chinese culture.
