Is Bodhidharma the creator of martial arts?
Bodidharma was an Indian monk who travelled to China. He taught Buddhism and martial arts to the shaolin monks from techniques he brought back from India. That was when martial arts was born.Second answerNo, he was not the creator of martial arts. Martial arts arise independently within cultures all around the world. Wherever there is war, there is always someone who knows how to wrestle or handle a sword. The concept that Bodhidharma knew or created martial arts does not predate the 20th century. See the paper "Ignorance, Legend, and Taijiquan" by the martial arts historian Stan Henning.
Where did Kung Fu develop?
Legend says it was brought to the Shaolin Monastery in China from India by the man named Bodidharma. He taught the monks there about Buddhism and kung fu (gong fu, wushu). The monks learned kung fu in order to protect themselves from bandits. After the ages kung fu turned into many different styles and then inspired other martial arts in other countries. That is why kung fu is referred to as the grandfather of martial arts.Second answerThe indigenous martial arts that fall under the term Kung Fu were created to better deal with strife in China. The simple techniques for wielding early bows and spears were built upon over time to give rise to military archery and spear play. The same goes for wrestling and boxing. The Chinese military originally used unarmed martial arts as a way of strengthening the soldiers' bodies and to prepare them for practicing with various weapons like swords and pole-arms.Religious institutions like the famous Shaolin Monastery originally adopted the practice of military weapons to protect its assets from mountain bandits. However, evidence shows that, during the Ming to Qing dynasty transition, the Shaolin monks began to adopt unarmed boxing and Daoist breathing exercises as a means of spiritual enlightenment.
