Shaolin Kungfu
Share

With a history of 1,500 years, Shaolin kungfu is the most influential of all China's martial arts. Based on the wisdom of Buddhism and their unique fighting skills, the Shaolin fighting monks in Songshan, Henan Province, devised astonishing methods of defense and attack, which include fist, stick, falchion, spear, sword, long weapon and short weapon routines. In recent years, Shaolin kungfu has gained more popularity at home and abroad, but how to better protect this ancient martial art form still deserves deep consideration.
