HISTORY OF KUNG FU

Kung Fu is a Chinese martial art that is said to have originated in a Shaolin monastery. The monks at this monastery used a form of Kung Fu as a means of exercise but soon found its value for self-defense from bandits. Many today practice Kung Fu for both its health benefits and elegant fighting style.
