Shaolin Monks are Buddhist Monks who live and train at the Shaolin Monastery in Henan province, China. They are known around the world for their incredible feats of strength and acrobatics, which are a byproduct of intense training and a devotion to Chan Buddhism.

From a young age, the monks push their minds and bodies to the limit, believing in living without attachment, with an emphasis on present awareness over traditional religious worship.

As a result, their feats can appear superhuman, and are admired around the world.
