An Introduction to Shaolin Kempo Martial Arts: The Shaolin Temple is considered the foundation of modern martial arts. It is historically significant for developing and refining the techniques that influenced many martial arts styles practiced today. Shaolin Kempo has a rich history that dates back to the origins of modern civilization. It merges traditional martial arts from the Shaolin monks with principles of self-defense, strength, and spiritual growth. Over time, it evolved by incorporating influences from both Chinese and Japanese martial arts, developing into a comprehensive system that emphasizes not only physical technique but also mental focus. Shaolin Kempo combines hard and soft techniques from various martial arts, such as Shorinji Kempo, Sil Lum Kung-Fu (formerly Shaolin Ch’uan Fa), Chung-Kuo Ch’uan, and the Shaolin 5 Animals Styles. These styles focus on the traits of the five Shaolin Animals—Tiger, Crane, Dragon, Snake, and Leopard—which represent various qualities like power, agility, and flexibility. In addition to martial skills, Shaolin Kempo emphasizes health and balance, fostering overall well-being for practitioners.
