His religion prevented him from carrying (and using?) weapons. • Once in China, he blended in with the local residents, and developed a system of exercises and physical techniques of Yoga, which consisted of stretching postures and deep breathing. • Eventually, his system developed into a very strong martial art that gave those who practiced it, strength and confidence.
