A great variety of hand-to-hand fighting arts found in China since men first appeared there many thousands of years ago. It is reported in Chinese history that fighting arts were especially flourishing in Tang Dynasty AD 618-907 and few men were without skill in fighting art during that time. It is recorded in history that 13 monks living in the Shaolin Temple located in the north west of Tong Feng Hsien of Ho Nan province carne to the rescue of the emperor Tang Tai Chung and finally assisted the emperor in routing the revolting groups including the big warlord Wang She Tsung. Their triumph in the battles made not only the fame of the Temple Shaolin very famous but also the style of their pugilism very well known in China, which in later time was called the Shaolin School. Then it came to the year between AD 1101 and 1126 in Sung Dynasty when Master Chang Shan Feng made a study of many pugilists primarily from the Daoism religion and created a style of his own in pugilism called Tai Chi Chuan and so named Wu Tang School, which gave much emphasis on the cultivation of the human mind and the promotion of health rather than the improvement of the fighting technique. Generally speaking, this style belongs to the interior school. Then some other schools in addition to the mentioned two were established afterwards.
