Do you know that a south Indian prince named Bodhidharma laid the foundation for Chinese kungfu?

Bodhidharma reached china and taught Chinese people this martial art.....|||You are oversimplifying. Bodhidharma (Called Da Mo by the Chinese) came to China to check the state of Buddhism there. He saw it was decadent among the nobility, so he decided to teach at the Shao Lin (New Forest) temple. He was not admitted for some time. When he was inside, he found the monks were weak and could not meditate properly, so he taught them strengthening exercises based upon the movements of animals he had observed on his long trip from India to China. These exercises were developed into the five traditional Buddhist Animal Styles of Martial Arts. They are Dragon, Snake, Crane, Leopard and Tiger. There are later non-traditional animal styles as well. Kung Fu literally means Work Well to Master. It denotes Great Skill in any field. Wu Shu is the proper term for Martial Arts.|||no, u're wrong, do not spread false rumor

the foundation of chinese kungfu and shaolin temple
