Shaolin kung fu is "meditation in motion."

Answer 6

Shaolin Kung Fu is really two arts. One art is a demonstration or show art. For many years the fighting art was forbidden especially in public. So many of the acrobatics and "mighty feats" were Incorporated for show. Some of the fighting art is even hidden in these show techniques. The missing part is Wing Chun Kung Fu which is the art you don't see in the "show" techniques.
