One of the most famous systems of Shaolin methods of strengthening one’s own body and achieving strength of spirit is Bodhidharma’s gymnastics “Yi Jin Jing”, whose name can be translated as “Canon of changes in muscles”, or “Canon of muscle transformation”. It is in the “Yijinjing” that the secrets that Bodhidharma himself taught to the monks are set forth. The Yijinjing is rightfully considered the main of the basic complexes, from which the training of the Shaolin internal tradition begins.
