Ch&#8217;an  derives its name from the Indian word Dhyana, which simply means  &#8216;Meditation&#8217;. Dhyanna was an Indian form of Buddhist meditation  stressing sitting meditation and other forms of meditation to help bring  a<em><\/em>bout enlightenment in its practitioners. Dhyanna is essentially  meditation practice, as part of Buddhist practice.&nbsp;<br \/>  &nbsp;  <\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Indian martial techniques and exercises predate their  counterparts in China, just as Indian Buddhism and Dhyanna meditation  practice does. However, the martial arts were known for the most part  formed, shaped and cradled by the Shaolin Temple throughout history,  just as Ch&#8217;an and Zen today are a result of Chinese influence. So  Shaolin Kung Fu is the Granddaddy of all Asian martial arts, with an  Indian uncle.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Given the fact that most Asian martial arts derive from their  Chinese predecessors at Shaolin Temple, it is true that &#8216;all martial  styles were born under the sun of Shaolin&#8217; to a great extent. Indeed, it  might be more accurate to say that most popular martial arts that  emerged from Asia had a pre-history and formation period at the Shaolin  Temple, or that martial arts are a direct result of the Shaolin Temple  influence. Shaolin Kung Fu is known for their many animal styles such as  Tiger, Crane, Dragon, Monkey, Praying Mantis and Snake. The famous  Shaolin 18 Movements derive from Bodhidharma&#8217;s visit to China. He taught  the Buddhist mo<em><\/em>nks Indian martial exercises in order to make them more  fit for mediation and to keep them active. These later evolved into the  18 Movements of Shaolin Kung Fu, evolved into a full fighting system of  its own.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: larger\"><span style=\"color: #800000\"><b>Shaolin temple, Shaolin warriors and Shaolin history<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>  <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" vspace=\"5\" hspace=\"10\" height=\"225\" align=\"left\" src=\"http:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20191122_5dd77d1ae3dea.jpg\" alt=\"Shaolin Kung Fu \u5c11\u6797\u529f\u592b\" \/>Shaolin  Chuan originated in the Shaolin Temple on Mount So<em><\/em>ngshan at Dengfeng in  Henan Province. It was named after the temple. The founder of the  Shaolin Chuan was said to be an Indian monk, Bodhi-dharma. The  proposition, though very influential, was proved to be false, for there  was a monk named BodhHiharma but he knew nothing at all a<em><\/em>bout Chinese  Chuan. In fact, Shaolin Chuan was the manifestation of the wisdom of the  mo<em><\/em>nks of the temple, secular Wushu masters and army generals and  soldiers. <\/p>\n<p>  According to historical records, the Shaolin Temple was built during the  Northern Wei Dynasty in the 19th calendar year of the reign of Emperor  Taihe (495) and is one of China&#8217;s most famous an-cient temples. The  Shaolin Temple o<em><\/em>nce had many mo<em><\/em>nks on its premises. Those mo<em><\/em>nks of the  lower level mostly came from the secular society and some of them knew  some martial arts before entering the temple. Those who knew martial  arts taught and helped each other to improve their skills. They also  absorbed the experience of their predecessors and gradually developed  their mar-tial arts into the unique Shaolin school. <\/p>\n<p>  During the Northern Qi Dynasty (550-577), Shaolin mo<em><\/em>nks could lift  hundreds of kilograms in weight and were good at Chuan and horse riding.  By the end of the Sui Dynasty (581-618), Li Shimin, king of the Qin  state, fought with the self-appointed emperor of the Zheng state, Wang  Shichong. Shaolin mo<em><\/em>nks Zhi Cao, Hui Yang, and Tan Zong took the side of  Li and helped him catch the latter&#8217;s nephew Wang Renze to force the  self-appointed emperor to surrender. After Li Shimin was enthro<em><\/em>ned as  the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he awarded his followers  ac-cording to their military merits and contributions. Monk Tan Zong had  the title of chief general con-ferred on him, while the Shaolin Temple  was given large grants of land and mo<em><\/em>ney to expand the temple complex.  The Shaolin Temple was allowed to organize an army of monk soldiers, who  acted as military people in warring times and as mo<em><\/em>nks in peace time.  The Shaolin school of Chuan im-proved and developed through the trials  of battles and wars. <\/p>\n<p>  The Shaolin mo<em><\/em>nks in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) were all taught to  practise Wushu. In the 32nd calendar year of the Jiajing reign (1553),  the Shaolin military mo<em><\/em>nks took part in the battles against Japanese  invaders in southern China and accomplished many military exploits. Wang  Shixing of the Ming Dynasty wrote in his Tour of Mount Song. &#8216;All of  the 400 Shaolin Temple mo<em><\/em>nks have good Wushu skills&#8217;.&#8217;Fists and cudgels  were wielded as if they were flying during practice&#8217;. Cheng Cho<em><\/em>ngdou  also of the Ming Dynasty wrote in his book The Dossier of Shaolin Cudgel  Fight: &#8216;Shaolin mo<em><\/em>nks are best known for their cudgel fights&#8217;. Ming  general Yu Dayou, who was reputed for his anti-Japanese military  service, went to teach cudgel fighting skills in the Shaolin Temple. It  was in the latter half of the Ming Dynasty that Shaolin mo<em><\/em>nks switched  from cudgel fighting to fist fighting, so that fist fights could be  promoted to match cudgel fights. <\/p>\n<p>  In the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), the people living around the Shaolin  Temple were very active in practising Wushu, which boosted the  development of the Shaolin school of martial arts. In the Shaolin  Temple, the rear hall was used for Wushu exercises, wher various kinds  of weapons were dis-played on the weapon stands ready for use at any  time. Some mo<em><\/em>nks practised fist fighting to safe-guard the temple. After  years of exercises and practising, foot prints were stamped on the  brick floor of the rear hall and these prints can be seen clearly even  today. On the north and south walls of the White-Clothes Hall, there are  Qing Dynasty murals vividly depicting the exercises practised by mo<em><\/em>nks  in the temple. <\/p>\n<p>  In the fifth calendar year of the Yo<em><\/em>ngzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty  (1727), people were not allowed to practise Wushu. However, they could  not be stopped either in the secular society or in the Shaolin Temple,  wher Wushu was practised underground. <\/p>\n<p>  Apart from the Shaolin Temple on Mount Songshan, the Shaolin Temple was  said to have set up more than a dozen Shaolin affiliates in other  temples in the country. The Shaolin Temple on Mount Nine Lotus in Fujian  Province during the Ming Dynasty was famous for developing the Shaolin  Quan. <\/p>\n<p>  Around the 1911 Revolution against the Qing Dynasty, the Shaolin martial  arts underwent further developments. Wushu clubs were established all  over the country and most of them took the Shaolin Quan. Lots of  patriots organized sabre and flying sword groups in order to overthrow  the dynasty. They co<em><\/em>nstantly practised their skills and co<em><\/em>ntributed  greatly to the cause. <\/p>\n<p>  The Shaolin school is very popular in secular society with a myriad of  followers. Over the years it was enriched theoretically and its  techniques perfected to form a colossal system of fist fight. <br \/>  Compactness is a feature of the Shaolin school. The moves and tricks of  this school are short, simple and succinct as well as versatile. While  fighting, Shaolin boxers would advance and retreat straight forwardly.  They need o<em><\/em>nly a small space to execute their style of fist fight which  is des-cribed as &#8216;fighting along a single straight line&#8217;. Shaolin Quart  is powerful and speedy with rhythmic rising and falling of body  movements. It stresses hardness of actions and blows but it also  advocates softness in support of the hardness. The motto of the Shaolin  fist fight says &#8216;hardness first and softness second&#8217;. When jabbing or  palming, the arm is required to be neither bent nor straight, in an  attempt to blend external and internal forces.<\/p>\n<p>  <span style=\"font-size: larger\"><span style=\"color: #800000\"><b>Requirements to a Shaolin Fighter<\/p>\n<p>  <\/b><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: larger\"><span style=\"color: #800000\"><b><b>To be as graceful as a cat<\/b><br \/>  The fighter should make light, easy and graceful movements as the cat dose <\/b><\/span><\/span>  <\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><b>To be as aggressive as the tiger<\/b><br \/>  In the face of your enemy you should overrun his courage. Advance  harshly, retreat without any confusion, estimate the real situation and  than heavily punch with a sharp rush to the enemy. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>To step like a dragon<\/b><br \/>  Dragon in China is a symbol of strength and power, so steps should be  strong, powerful and resolute. If steps are not resolute, something  wrong will be with fists. A non-co<em><\/em>nfident step means a slipshod fist.  Thus, steps must be strong and confident. The step follows the movement  of the body. When one step is over, the movement of the body is over  too. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>To act like a lightning stroke<\/b><br \/>  One must be quick as a lightning stroke and instantly respo<em><\/em>nse to any changes. Punches should look like flash of lightning.<br \/>  &nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><b>To shout like thunder<\/b><br \/>  In the fight the most powerful strike is delivered with a shout to help more powerful &lsquo;effort-jin&#8217; emission. <br \/>  <b><br \/>  To move like a gust of wind<\/b><br \/>  The practicer must move vehemently like a gust of strong wind. If you  started fighting with a fro<em><\/em>ntal attack, use your force on the left and  right following the principle of &lsquo;The fist is visible, the strike is  invisible&#8217; and &lsquo;If you do not see your hand striking the enemy, you will  never see this enemy&#8217;.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><b>To stay like a nail<\/b><br \/>  One must stay on a foot like a driven nail. <br \/>  <b><br \/>  To be as heavy as a mountain<\/b><br \/>  A fighter should maintain the stances like a mountain that can not be  moved. He should be trained with Mabu, the Rider Stance and Pole  Standing Stance. These two exercises are the most im<em><\/em>portant methods to  train the strong feet and how to regulate the breathing. <br \/>  <b><br \/>  To be as light as goose<\/b><br \/>  One must move around quickly, lightly and instantly to respo<em><\/em>nse to  enemy&#8217;s actions like goose moving according to the lightest whiff of the  wind. <br \/>  <b><br \/>  To be soft as cotton<\/b><br \/>  Before full exposure to rigidity, one must avoid vividly. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>As hard as iron<\/b><br \/>  With the help of some methods of physical parts, arms or legs, fighter  must become as hard as iron and in case of attacking by things like  me<em><\/em>tal objects.<\/p>\n<p>  <span style=\"font-size: larger\"><span style=\"color: #800000\"><b>Ten Precepts of a Shaolin Fighter<\/p>\n<p>  <\/b><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: larger\"><span style=\"color: #800000\"><b>It is necessary that the body would be agile, quick  and energetic. For instance, if you take a step, your hands should make a  correspo<em><\/em>ndent swift movement; movements of all parts of the body must  be coordinated. When you have to strike, try not to look even at the  shadow of your hand. Do not pay attention to the fists. You must improve  your skill all the time, o<em><\/em>nly in this case you can succeed. . <\/b><\/span><\/span>  <\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">Motion of the heart co<em><\/em>ntrols the distribution of &lsquo;Chi&#8217;  energy which born in the region &lsquo;Dantian&#8217; field, approximately 3 to 5  cm below the navel. The activity of the &lsquo;Chi&#8217; energy enforces the body  to carry heroic struggle and to be valiant like a tiger or a dragon. If  force and energy are melted into a single whole in the body, it is  demo<em><\/em>nstrated by the ability to exert asto<em><\/em>nishing sounds.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">During the fighting, all the five elements should  represent a unique fusion. In order to understand the interaction of the  five elements of nature, one should observe Nature and the arrangement  of the Universe around us. If you perceive laws of the birth and the  surmounting of the five elements, you will understand the nicety of  combat arts. Each of the five elements originates with the single &lsquo;Chi&#8217;  energy. This energy is the ba<em><\/em>se of the force that makes the body act. If  you understand their mutual transformation, you could move things  weighing thousand of Jins (one Jin equals to a<em><\/em>bout 600 g ) with one  motion of your hand or foot. This precept also demands that blood and  &lsquo;Chi&#8217; should be in great harmony.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">You must know the eight-point theory of &lsquo;Ba Tiao&#8217;. For  instance, you move up and down, retreat, but your retreat appears to be  an advance. If you follow this law, your eight successes will become  more impressive. Owing to it your movements up will be energetic and  movements down will be pliable and soft, and all the movements will be  coordinated.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">You must be prepared to meet an enemy who appears,  disappears and appears again. Your enemy can be as dangerous as a tiger  released from the cage. However, if you are able in an instant to turn  a<em><\/em>bout to defend yourself from the front and the rear, you would look  like a divine protector of combat arms who is always protected from all  the sides. You should be able to turn very quickly to face an enemy&#8217;s  attack from the left and the right. If you retreat, you should decoy  your enemy into a trap. During an attack, fury will be helpful for you.  In that case, you will look like infuriated tigers and snow leopards. A  small birdie that takes its chance can fly over a high mountain.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">Your gait must be as stout as that one of gods. It is  better to make five more steps than to make a mistake by one Qun (one  Qun equals to 3.2 cm ). There are different types of movements during  the fighting. Measured steps, the Qun Bu, should be separated from each  other by not more than three Chis (one chi equals to 0.32 m ). In a  struggle, your life is at stake all the time, that&#8217;s why you should step  carefully and measurably. Steady steps should be separated from each  other by five Chis, and a too big step equals to two Go<em><\/em>ngs (in the  ancient times one Gong equaled to five Chis). A quick step, the Kuai Bu,  equals to one Zhan (one Zhan equals to 10 Chis). In fact, it is a  horizo<em><\/em>ntal leap that is made with energetic force of thighs and feet  (i.e. by the whole leg). A spilling step, the Zhan Bu, is a great upward  leap to be made, if you are rounded up and you have to break out of  encirclement.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">One also should understand the coordination of arm and  leg during the fighting. The special point with Shaolin combat arts is  its fist work. The pugilistic methods are such that each punch must  pierce the enemy and cut him into pieces. The arm should bend without  bending and unbend without unbending so that the enemy could not follow  your movements and could never get sight of your punch. Your arms should  separate your thorax with a speed of a lightning. Activity and training  of sinews determine the force of arms. The punch must be a surprise, so  the enemy could not avoid it. The arm must make an accurate cut,  obediently flying up and readily, if necessary, going down.  Notwithstanding how your body is twisted and your hands are bound by the  enemy, there is always a chance to free yourself, like a swallow always  has a chance to find ponds. If in a close combat, one of the hands is  pinned down or both hands are neutralized, you can punch with elbow.  Your punch can be directed into the enemy&#8217;s pudenda from below. Leg  movements are more mysterious. There are seven leg works including Qi,  the uprising, Fan, the overturning, Lo, the tumbling, Zhin, the advance,  Ti, the kicking, Qai , other kicking, and Zhuan, other kicking. All the  five natural elements unite into one &lsquo;Chi&#8217;, feet act in unison striking  from the front and from the rear, so it is impossible to approach you.  Step by step and no sound is heard except sounds of punches of  infuriated soles touching the ground after strikes. The legs are like  ferocious tigers or dragons in the sky.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">This rule demands simultaneous advance of arms and  legs, because during the fighting they act together and depend on each  other. If you o<em><\/em>nly use your arms, the result may be o<em><\/em>nly satisfactory;  the reason is when you advancing, your feet, arms and torso should act  in a complete coordination. One should aim at achieving the following  qualities including mind, body obedience, manhood, speed and fury.  During a real fighting those five qualities will bring you miraculous  results. Mental work, &lsquo;Gong&#8217;, means that during the fighting one must  more depend on one&#8217;s mind. Body obedience, &lsquo;Shun&#8217;, means that one must  train his body for a long time to make it a natural one. Manliness,  &lsquo;Yong&#8217; means that one should work out bold plans and boldly realize  them. Speed, &lsquo;Ji&#8217;, implicates that during the execution of methods of  hand-to-hand fighting one must act fast like a lightning. Fury, &lsquo;Hen&#8217; is  required o<em><\/em>nly at the moment of your attacks. You should keep a vigilant  watch over enemy&#8217;s stances and positions and clearly understand them.  You must easily find his weak points, and should not rashly start  fighting.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">One should know a<em><\/em>bout combat arts is all-round  defense, its distinct manifestations and timely pursuit. If a man keeps  in harmony those rule in his actions, he will become invincible. The  rule of cover &#8211; &#8216;ting&#8217; co<em><\/em>nsist in the necessity of permanent protection  in the front, from the behind, from the left and from the right.  Besides, one must not forget that the enemy can strike from above and  from below. The rule of opening, &lsquo;Kai&#8217;, co<em><\/em>nsist in the necessity of  opening your weak or strong points depending on the situation on the  left or on the right and in the necessity of delivering and receiving  blows with the support of sinew force. Both fist and palm must be formed  during a spurt. The rule of distinct manifestation, &lsquo;zhe&#8217; is used for  the work of arms, body, head and heart. At the moment of action there  should be a clear and efficient manifestation. If you act, you must be  as fierce as a tiger, and if you manifest a sentiment, it must be a  frightening fury. Your shout should frighten your enemy. You should be  able to win without a fight, o<em><\/em>nly with your loud laughter. This rule  co<em><\/em>nsisting of few hieroglyphs is more precious than gold. The rule of  pursuit , &lsquo;Zhui&#8217;, co<em><\/em>nsists in the following. You should use any  opportunity to pursuit your enemy and should not give him a chance to  come back himself. As soon as steps become faster, you should use this  opportunity to rush to the enemy. If at that moment you act like  lightning and thunder, you can take anyone by surprise.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">One should know a<em><\/em>bout combat arts is as following.  Three body parts including eyes, ears and heart intelligence must be in  great harmony. You should have attentive and active eyes and follow any  enemy&#8217;s manipulations all the time. You must prick your ears to sense  movements and rest. You should have keen ears to hear voices of tigers  and snow leopards from the eight sides of the Universe. The eyes look,  the ears listen and they transmit the received info rmation to the  heart. If the heart is bright and eyes are a<em><\/em>lert, you will not commit  mistakes.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>This rule for those who practice in combat arts is as following.  Use your sinews, because &lsquo;Shen&#8217;, the ability to use spiritual sources,  allows to achieve a great success. Sinews are chiefs of bones. If sinews  tremble, &lsquo;Chi&#8217; energy is wasted. Furthermore, sinews are transmitters  of info rmation of three senses including vision, hearing and mind. If  you are in possession of them, it is a great success.<\/p>\n<p>  <span style=\"font-size: larger\"><span style=\"color: #800000\"><b>Wo<em><\/em>nderful Methods of Shaolin Monks<\/p>\n<p>  <\/b><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: larger\"><span style=\"color: #800000\"><b><b>Striking around in the whirling horse stance<\/b><br \/>  When anybody uses the &lsquo;whirling horse stance&#8217;, he whirls his body around  its axis and hails blows around aiming at the enemy&#8217;s heart, gives  violent backhand strokes at the face, executes captures. One hand is  moving after another, both hands are striking to the left and to the  right. You can see the results of those blows. The fighter strikes with  his foot forward and backward, turns somersault, moves during the fight.  The hands move in the front, as if a ferocious tiger jumps after his  pray. <\/b><\/span><\/span>  <\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><b>The Iron Buffalo Ploughing the Field <\/b><br \/>  The iron buffalo ploughs the field and fists fly around freely.

You make a step,  catch the enemy, throw and mutilate him. If, when catching the enemy,  your hands interlace with his hands, you have to punch the elbow from  below (&lsquo;the lightning of the iron door flashes&#8217;), in order to punch the  head, use your knees and shoulders. Just as a huge bird Peng spreads its  wings, you turn around and &lsquo;catch the moon with both hands&#8217;. You strike  at the heart, then ring the enemy round with both hands and after that  you use method &lsquo;the blue dragon wagging its tail&#8217; and &lsquo;the carp fish  making somersaults&#8217;.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><b>Golden Pheasant Standing in Solitude<\/b><br \/>  &#8216;The golden pheasant stands in solitude&#8217; and works with a hand in the  center. &lsquo;He presses the moon to his breast&#8217;, lowers the face and makes a  kick, then turns the whole body around and makes a step; the fighter  steps down the hall, squats and punches the enemy&#8217;s face. With high  jumps to the right and to the left the legs work, vehemently kicking  crushing strokes. If the enemy tries to strike back, you catch his feet  with both hands. You have to take all-round defense by striking back. If  you can, you punch as your great ancestors did.
