Who knew that? The guy's name was Bohdidharma and he was a simple monk looking for a way to simply improve his life with movements based on animals he studied in the wild. He ended up creating the Shaolin Temple that we know today. Does anyone else know of this Legend of Kung Fu? Or do you know of any other really good ones?

Yeap..funnily enough I was talking about that with my hunny only a few days ago..yet it's the Chinese that really got it going lol..
Yeah a great exponent of Ynag family Tai ji was Yng Pan Hou and it was noted that he could lie on his back and just by breathing grains of rice that would be sitting on his lower tan tian would shoot up meters into the sky! Wish I could do that man!

Kalaripayattu, an ancient martial art practiced in south India is said to be the mother of all martial arts as the chinese martial arts have also been evolved from it. Bodidharma had knowledge of Kalaripayattu and passed it on to the Chinese where it evolved to present day Kung Fu.
