Yi - Jin - Jing

Legend has it that when the monk Bodhidarma (known as Da-Mo the founder of Zen in China over 1400 years ago) arrived at the famous Shaolin temple, he saw the monks residing there were in poor condition.

During his 9 years of meditation in a cave near the temple he pondered on the problem and wrote the famous Chi-Kung book called Yi Jin Jing (muscle/tendon development) and this became the foundation of the famous Shaolin martial arts.

It has the reputation to strengthen the muscles and tendons through the circulation of Chi, stretching and loosening of joints and also energising your body and mind increasing your internal strength.
