"Bodhidharma, Shaolin Kung fu, and the disputed India connection" is an enormously awkward page name. It should be moved back to "Disputed Indian origins of East Asian martial arts". JFD 17:19, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Agreed, the current title is cumbersome; and the proposed title seems better, but does it best reflect the article's contents? – Marco79 12:49, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment if renamed as such, Foreign influence on Chinese martial arts might need to be merged there. Also "Disputed origins of East Asian martial arts" as there are other arguments two". --Nate1481( t/c) 14:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Text Improvement Suggestion[edit]

The two paragraphs, one starting "Shaolin monastery records state..." and the following one starting "Years before the arrival of Bodhidharma..." contain essentially the same information and statements. Perhaps someone familiar with the references could combine and improve? Is "...the tin staff." referenced by both 11 and 13? DAG 06:26, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
