The Shaolin Martial arts can trace
its roots back to the arrival of Bodhidharma (Ta Mo) at the Shaolin
Temple. There he taught monks meditation and began the history
of the fighting monks. People have been studying this art for
better health, as well as self defense, for over 2000 years. Many
people are curious as to why a Chinese martial art would have
Japanese style uniforms, a japanese style belt ranking system
and the "Do" as part of the styles' name. The practice
started years ago when Grandmaster Ie Chang Ming immigrated from
China to Indonesia. In Indonesia, the Chinese are a minority and
the object of resentment and discrimination. To avoid negative
publicity, the style dropped the outward appearance of a Chinese
style martial art. The name was called Shaolin-do and the Japanese
belt ranking system was adopted. Other than these superficial
changes, Grandmaster Ie taught in the traditional manner. Today
the Shaolin Martial arts are passed on by Grandmaster Sin Kwang
The'.
