In addition to the Shaolin Wushu, the Sichuan Emei School of Wushu is also a part of the Buddhist kung fu. It developed later than the Shaolin School. It is said to be founded by Chan Master (Dhyānācārya) Baiyun during the later part of the Southern Song Dynasty (late 13th century). Emei Wushu is similar to Shaolin Wushu. It is also an amalgamation of quintessential technique of self-cultivation and well being of both Buddhist and Daoist schools. It upholds the tradition of Chinese Wushu and has developed through constant innovations.
