Uki Is correct in a sense
Although i dont believe it happened that way verbatim. Maybe for the Shaolin Monks it did. The earliest known recordings of "martial arts" training comes from Africa and it would seem that wrestling and grappling was the first to be developed as a fighting "method". I tend to go on Kubriks version of it all in 2001 a space odyssey where the primate bashes another with a bone and things go from there.

It makes me mad when people say I turned and ran like a scared rabbit. Maybe it was like an angry rabbit, who was going to fight in another fight, away from the first fight.
