    Po zničení Kangzhenského kláštora v Číne zostalo nažive iba päť mladých bojových mníchov. Každý mal meno po zvierati - tiger, opica, had, žeriav, drak - , pretože každý z nich bol najmladším majstrom bojového umenia v štýle zvieraťa, ktorého meno niesol. Títo piati mladí mnísi sa rozpŕchli a začali učiť nielen znamenité bojové zručnosti, ale aj šíriť svoju mierumilovnú životnú filozofiu. Hovorí sa, že dnešné bojové umenia majú pôvod v učení týchto piatich mladých bojovných mníchov, podľa legendy známych ako päť predkov.
