atalaya Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 i did a paper a while ago on martial arts history which discussed (in parts) the missionary work of bodhidharma (known to the japanese, and me-prior to this paper, as daruma) who left india to teach the aristocrats/ruling families/cultured people the beauty of kung fu (which was developed from the energy boosting practice of chi gong). when he was rejected he tried to go to the shaolin temple, where the sedentary monks refused him entry for nine years. legend has it during this time that daruma meditated facing a wall (once it is said that he fell asleep while meditating and cut his own eyelids!) when they allowed them in he taught them kung fu and the zen practice of buddhism. kung fu was to be used as more of a meditation practice than anything else (according to my research)... wouldn't girls be able to go back to those original teachings and learn backward, kind of reverse engineer original "shaolin" kung fu? some thoughts on karateKarateRanch Blog

atalaya Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 well, i'd imagine that the original kung fu taught to the monks at the little (young?) forest temple could be reconstructed by studying chi kung, the pre-kung fu, and comparing the off shoots of the original kung fu -wushu, white crane style, et cetera, and kind of going half-way... that would give them a good concept of what the techniques may have been. also, zen buddhism plays a big part in kung fu- concepts of meditation, simplicity and balance should be carefully examined ... some thoughts on karateKarateRanch Blog
Goju_boi Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 well that was good,but ti didn't really answer the question as to if girls were able to train at the shaolin temple https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
