Shaolin Temple: Where Zen meets martial arts

CGTN

00:42

Located among the Songshan Mountains in Henan Province, the Shaolin Temple has thrived for over 1,500 years on the principle of "the unity of Zen and martial arts." Rooted in Buddhist practice, its kung fu emphasizes balance — hardness with softness, and inner focus with outer strength. Over the centuries, Shaolin kung fu has evolved into a system comprising more than 700 forms that blend combat skills and wellness.
