    		Shaolin kung fu was based on the movements of five animals; dragon, tiger, snake, leopard, and the crane. This particular style of martial arts can be traced fourteen hundred years ago to the Shaolin Temple in the Hunan Province of China. There monks taught Shaolin kung fu to many students who then traveled to other countries spreading this fighting system.
