In the year 527 AD, a monk known as Dat Mo (Bodhidharma) arrived at the Shaolin Temple. It is believed that he found his Chinese disciples too weak, both physically and mentally, to practice the intensive meditation required by his path to enlightenment.
To rectify this problem, Dat Mo devised exercises combining physical movement and breathing, thus strengthening the bodies and minds of his disciples, enabling them to pursue the spiritual path with more vigour. Since Dat Mo was himself of the warrior caste (Ksatriva) it is possible some of the exercises were drawn from the Indian Martial tradition.
