Seni bela diri Tiongkok sebelum ShaolinEdit
Catatan sejarah Tiongkok, seperti Musim Semi dan Musim Gugur Annals of Wu dan Yue, Bibliografi dalam Kitab Dinasti Han, Catatan Sejarawan Agung, dan sumber
lainnya mendokumentasikan keberadaan seni bela diri di Tiongkok selama ribuan tahun. Misalnya, seni bela diri gulat
Tiongkok, Shuai Jiao, mendahului pendirian kuil Shaolin beberapa abad. Karena biara-biara Cina adalah perkebunan besar,
sumber pendapatan tetap yang cukup besar, para biksu membutuhkan perlindungan. Penemuan sejarah menunjukkan bahwa, bahkan sebelum pendirian kuil Shaolin, para biksu memiliki senjata dan juga
berlatih seni bela diri.Pada tahun 1784, Tinju Klasik: Metode Tinju Esensial menjadikan referensi paling awal ke Biara Shaolin sebagai tempat asal tinju Tiongkok. Ini, bagaimanapun, adalah kesalahpahaman, tetapi menunjukkan pentingnya sejarah Shaolin kung fu.

Chinese martial arts prior to Shaolin Edit
Historical records of China, such as the Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue, Bibliographies in the Book of the Han Dynasty, Records of the Great Historian, and sources
others document the existence of martial arts in China for thousands of years. For example, the martial art of wrestling
The Chinese, Shuai Jiao, predates the founding of the Shaolin temples by several centuries. Since Chinese monasteries were large estates,
source of steady income, the monks needed protection. Historical discoveries show that, even before the founding of the Shaolin temple, monks had weapons as well
practicing martial arts. In 1784, Classical Boxing: The Essential Fist Method makes the earliest reference to the Shaolin Monastery as the origin of Chinese boxing. This, however, is a misconception, but demonstrates the historical importance of Shaolin kung fu.
