the quantum martial property of theoritical art

[paolung]

no, your theory still doesn't work in China. firstly, allow me to debunk the traditional story you presented... bodhidarma, while he did come to china and teach some of the monks some exercises to maintain health, did not "invent" gungfu. think about this... do you really believe that no one in china knew how to fight hand-to-hand before some guy from india came over and taught some healthy stretches and exercises? does that make sense? not at all. perhaps he was the beginning of shaolin monk gungfu, in a very loose roundabout sort of way (like you surmised), but he certainly wasn't the beginning of gungfu or hand-to-hand fighting systems in China. look at shuai chiao for example..possibly the oldest chinese system (yes, pre-dating the shaolin temples)... how do you explain this? this is a completely separate system...

 

not to mention the wudang/taoist systems which were developed COMPLETELY independently of shaolin/buddhist influences, and stand on their own separately. what about taiji? bagua? again, more entire systems with little to no similiarities to shaolin chuan fa.

 

there is much more to Chinese martial arts than Shaolin my friend.

 

regarding your last post, about Americans (and western countries) don't have their own martial arts systems...what about Kenpo? sure, it was developed with chinese and japanese influences, but Ed Parker added many of his own principles to it. Kajukenbo? from hawaii. savate? french, and developed competely independent from other systems. even western fencing has it's own flavor and is virtually nothing like kendo or other oriental swordplay. there are several examples of how western countries developed their own martial systems independently from the east or other areas.
