as the birthplace of both Zen Buddhism and the martial arts, doesn't

the monks who live there. Watch Traveler Editor in Chief Keith Bellows' One-on-One interview with Guariglia now:

Very cool! I had the distinct pleasure and honor of training at the Shaolin Temple with my kung fu group back in 2002 and had an amazing time. It was a very demanding workout and the monks there can do some very impressive things. I'd love to go back.
