In the 520 AD Ta Mo, considered the father of the kung fu as we know it today, in his trip from India to China arrive at Shaolin monastery where there are monks undermined by the prayers, he decides to teach them some exercices, called Chin Chin Ta Mo, who using the techniques of animals, the monks with practice and persistence improve both their physical and their spirit, in fact, prayers were combined with the techniques of religious exercise that Ta Mo taught the monks, each technique had a religious purpose Each technique was applied to the technical religious , in future centuries each monk Shaolin specializes in an animal or character that the choice was more congenial.
In 1500 AD the syles were combined in a unique style, this was thanks to Chuea Yuan and taoist monks Li Chen and the master Pa Yu Feng, the latter two from outside the Shaolin monastery, so the five main styles tiger, snake, leopard, crane and dragon were unified into a single style.
