Kung Fu was developed to solve the problem of physical fitness. According to legend the monks at the Shaolin temple were unable to focus and pay attention to the lectures of the Bodhidharma.

It helped them shut out the outside world and concentrate on learning with inner calm and peace.

The skills were also applicable to self-defense and allowed the monks to travel throughout China without falling victim to the bandits of the times. They were also highly sought after by the rulers to provide protection and help defeat other armies.
