"Hahaha. Those aren't the monks I'm refering to. The Shaolin monks way of life is entirely based on martial arts. These ones are from areas tormented for generations by bandits. For this reason, they invented many of the fighting styles that you see today. They mastered medicines, poisons and could live off just a small bowl of brown rice for a whole week. Those monks, even the kids, can take on several fully grown men and come out without a scratch" Ranna began as she decided that maybe an action movie with martial arts would do the trick. She decided to look up a good one with subtitles while she eplained the day to day life of a Shaolin monk.

"At five AM they wake up each day, then perform martial arts practice for over an hour. The rest of the day is peant learning their religion, working at the temple, then more training. They only sleep when it's eleven in the evening. And those temple are high up on mountains too, so each day gives them high altitude training, every single day. Timed drills, continuous repetition of martial arts techniques, progressive physical skills, obstacle courses, weapons drills, partnered coordination exercises and many other things that they practice on a daily basis. Know when they start training? At the age of five."
