Shaolin Sect is a Shaolin school. It was founded during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period by the Buddhist monk Bodhidharma , who wanted his followers to practice martial arts for improving health, and self-defense, as well as upholding justice and helping the weak. Shaolin members are expected to follow a Buddhist code of conduct in addition to having a good mastery of martial arts. Bodhidharma was supposed to be a monk prince from Southern India who was adept in the Indian martial art of "Kalaripayattu" and is considered the mother of all martial arts.
