When did Shaolin create this 5 Animal Form (year, naster & temple)? From my understanding of Shaolin Martial Arts there was and is no such "Original Shaolin 5 Animal style/form". 5 Animal was not created in Shaolin or by Shaolin. Furthermore, it has never been archived that Shaolin trained or had a 5 animal form/style until this last decade with China trying to build Shaolin kung fu as the birth of all martial arts... Anywho, not preaching here. It's, to many people use the Shaolin name to give credit to their art or themselves. Oh well, thought I would throw that little piece of info out there.Quote:
...... notes , the ones that are handed out at the seminar, are only one sided. I did my best to reconstruct them. Please correct them or if I have missed or need to change. I am going to do the Chinese translation for them as well.
