Shaolin Kung Fu

Originating from the Shaolin Monastery in central China, legendary as being the birthplace of the martial arts in China.  Shaolin Kung fu is a 'long fist' fighting system, meaning that it emphasises lower stances and a long-range attack and defence, with many high kicks requiring strength and flexibility.  As well as empty hand forms the Shaolin Kung Fu system also incorporates a multitude of weapons, including the straight sword, sabre, spear, staff, whip, chain whip and meteor hammer to name a few.
