Running & Shaolin Martial Arts

"Afterwards we run. So every morning we run around the mountains or like a 1/2 hour. Running around the mountain. I mean from the top to the bottom we have to crawl down to the temple. So crawling is like getting in a push up position and you crawl from top to bottom from the mountain all the way probably around 1/2 hour. So running up on the mountain basically shows our dedications, it trains us to overcome our fear. On average it takes people 2 hours to walk to the bottom of the temple to the top that we run up every morning. But for use running up there only takes 20 minutes and crawling time take maybe about 30 minutes. Running up there basically builds the strength in our legs and give us the endurance. Crawling down there from the top of the mountain to the bottom builds up our strength in our whole body which gives us a stronger mind, body, and spiritual training."
