About
3000 Years ago at the Shaolin-Abbey monk Dalma founded
the Martial Arts Style Shaolin Kung-Fu.
His aim was to help the
monks reaching harmony between body and
soul and reinforcing
their self-control. Aims that are equal
to those of buddhism.
Kung Fu combines two forces: the inner (psychical)
and the outer (physical) power. To bring these two forces
into accord is reached by intensive training.
Nowadays about 125 kinds of technique have been derived from original
Shaolin Kung Fu and special movements are often immitated
from animals e.g. monkeys, eagle, panther etc.
For about ten years Bjoern trained
this fascinating sport and passed
some exams in fighting techniques.
