Instead of saying that martial arts originated in India, we could say that modern martial arts share an origin in INdia. There were forms of kung fu that were in existence before BodhiDharma went to china and taught in the Shaolin Temple. The techniques taught by him and combined with the existing chinese techniques made the framework of Shaolin Kung Fu.
