Upon relocating to Korea, a few of the Chinese monks befriended some of the local Korean Masters and shared their Kung Fu with these masters. In the early 60’s and 70’s a few of the Korean masters relocated to the United States and began teaching this art to Americans.
Anyone else think there is something a bit funny with the timeline? Were they burning the Shaolin Temples in the 1940/50s?
