wasn't/isnt' there a shaolin temple'ish thing down in skane(south sweden). a polish qi-gong guy who had/has some contact with the real shaolin temple built and runs it - ”Yang-torp” or something as that it is called ?
There are schools calling themselves "Shaolin" all over the world. There is still only
one (1) Shaolin si.
And the "real" temple is still built recently and have very little to do with the original Shaolin. In the 1960s they still didn't know the exact place of the old temple. It was completely gone, everything.
here's the ”temple”
https://www.yangtorp.com/shaolinkungfuthe guy that started it was active in malmo back when i still lived there, he had som shaolin monks from china teaching at his place for a time.
I thought you knew about that place since there was quite a hype about it, with the rich and famous of sweden sponsoring it.
about the original shaolin, we all know it was destroyed a couple of time, but back when japan was occupying china Doshin-So the founder of japanese Shorinji-Kempo visited the temple(that was somewhat in ruins)and learned from one of the remsning monks whom according to Wang Xiangzhai also who also visited the temple around the time didn't possesed any real gongfu but only som rudimentary moves.
Doshin-So also claimed to have drawn inspiration from the temples murals to form his shorinji-kempo style.
so the temple ground with some building.still intact with monks around seem to have been there in the 1940's
