I apologize if this has already been asked but I was curious, have Shaolin Monks ever allowed a foreigner to train at the Shaolin Monastery. I have to admit I am almost completely ignorant when it comes to Shaolin Monk training itself. I know the people on Human Weapon I believe were able to participate for a time. What I am trying to get at I guess is has any foreigner i.e. non-Chinese person studied there extensively. Oh and just to elaborate a bit more since I feel as though this is getting way to wordy, I am talking about in the past lets say 100 years. I know in there "early" history they would allow people from all over to enter the temple and that is how there martial art became so eclectic. Either way thanks very much for taking the time to read this.
