Shaolin Monk/Bio & Battles

"The Monk's skill is used to purge evil. No more and no less."

- Eric Chen, Kung Fu master-historian.

The Shaolin monks were Buddhists who lived in the Shaolin Monastery in China. In the Shaolin Monastery, where the Shaolin Monks lived, there were many expensive antiques. As a result, it attracted thieves, and sometimes armies. In order to protect themselves from those looking to harm them they began training in Kung Fu, and swiftly gained a reputation as Kung Fu masters through legends and folklore.

The Shaolin faced discrimination during Maoist China when religious practices were forbidden, but today the Shaolin are well respected. They still train in Kung Fu but only for spiritual enlightenment and entertainment.

Battle vs. Ninja (by KevlarNinja)
Ninjas:

Shaolin Monks:

Three Shalin Monks are walking through the woods, heading back home. Meanwhile, three ninjas see the weapons that monks have and think that it would be nice to take them. One of them throws a shuriken, but it misses, hitting a road sign and alerting the Monks to the ninjas. One of the ninjas covers for his teammate by shooting a blowgun dart and killing a monk.

Two of the Ninjas come out of cover from the trees. One of the monks throws a Meteor Hammer, but the ninja he threw it at dodges it. One ninja tries to attack a monk with his Kusari-Fundo, but the monk raps it up with his whip chain. At the same time, the second ninja tries to knock the monk over with his Bo, but the monk defends himself with his wax wood staff. The Kusari-Fundo ninja pulls the whip chain monk close to him and slashes the monk on the cheek with his Nekote. The Monk answers back cutting off the ninjas head with his Twin Hooks.

Meanwhile the second ninja cuts the wax wood staff in half with his Ninjato. Just as he is about to stab with his sword, his head falls off.

The other monk cut off the ninja's head with his spade. They go down the trail, and the last ninja sneaks up behind the monks. He hits one over the head with his Shobo and tries to strangle the other monk with his torinawa. The monk returns the favor from before and stabs the ninja with his Emei Piercers. The monk thanks him and they walk away, saying a prayer for there fallen brother.

Expert's Opinion
The monks won due to the superior martial training and dedication to fight. While the ninjas were able spies and were greatly stealthy, They were not greatly trained for combat. On the other hand, the Shaolin monks trained intensely for combat experiences.
