Ain Yin Kung Fu

"Without meditation, studying the Buddha's teaching is like learning swordplay without so much as a stick in your hand,like learning archery with a splendid bow but not an arrow in your quiver!"

This is a martial art that emphasizes Meditation above all else. Characters learn combat strictly from a defensive point of view, since they are not supposed to be aggressive toward any creature. Patience, silence and concentration are considered the hallmarks of any advanced student of An Yin Kung Fu. Any character with this martial art will have spent at least a year under a total vow of silence. During that year, no speaking, reading, or any form of entertainment was allowed, to the point where the character would spend most of the day staring at a blank wall. As a result, characters with this martial art form are exceedingly patient.
