Shaolin History - Fact or Myth?
I've been told by some that the story of Bodhidharma and how he traveled to shaolin, taught the monks yogic exercises, and how they turned it into applicable martial arts is not necessarily true. Others claim that the monastery learned it's martial arts from other Chinese practitioners and combined it all to shape and form Shaolin Pai.
What do you think is the lineage of Shaolin Gong Fu? How did Shaolin Quan form?
I hope you've got your answer now, BlackEChan

roflmao (and I almost never use that particular web acronym). I so feel ya on that LFJ.
It's just like that old zen parable:
Student 1: The flag is flapping!
Student 2: No, the wind is flapping!
Master: Your minds are flapping!
