Boddhidarma was the founder of Martial Arts, as a strong way of purification and elevation throught the martial way of life. This martial “lifestyle” has many different levels and applications, it can be used as an exterior way (like for warriors or Samurai), as a mental one ( the way to use or control our thoughts) , ore in a spiritual one ( the Awereness over mind, a zen principle).
He codified many expressions for strengthening Monks, at his time ( 6 Century A.C.).
Going from the inside to the outside, we could count Qigong, Thai Chi, and Martial arts like Karate.

And Karate is the explosive side of energy.
Yang, Jwing-Ming is a famous Master of these arts.

For what? For doing the right thing at the right time!

The way of Spirit is not effortless, my dear Monks!
