Because of their failure and inability to defend their country, the Chinese young men turned to the monks for help, but the monks failed to find a solution to this problem, and for this reason the monks went to the forests in the mountains to practice meditation, and there they observed the methods of animals in hunting, defending themselves, and attacking animals. Enemies, and how quickly these animals move from attack to defense. For example, the snake can escape from the opponent very quickly, then move into attack mode and quickly pounce on the opponent, and the tiger uses the full force of its body to pounce on its prey.

After this trip to the mountains, the monks were able to invent a method of fighting that mimicked the movements of animals in defense and attack. This method was called Wushu. They established a school to teach this method, which they called the Chalonian School. They were able to keep this method a secret by convincing the Japanese occupation that these places... They were just places of worship and nothing more.
