BEIJING - China’s Shaolin Temple, the cradle of Chinese kung fu, is demanding an apology from an Internet user who said its monks had once been beaten in unarmed combat by a Japanese ninja, Chinese media reported on Friday.

Shaolin Temple, in the northern province of Henan, became famous in the West as the training ground for Kwai Chang ”Grasshopper” Caine in the 1970s “Kung Fu” TV series.

Ninjas — professional assassins trained in martial arts — date back to medieval Japan.

“The so-called defeat is purely fabricated, and we demand the Internet user to apologize to the whole nation for the wrongs he or she did,” the Beijing News said, citing a notice announced by a lawyer for the Shaolin monks.

Emotions running high
Relations between Chinese and Japanese are sensitive at the best of times, with emotions still running high over Japan’s invasion and occupation of parts of China in the first half of the 20th Century.

The Internet user, calling themselves “Five Minutes Every Day,” said on an online forum last week that a Japanese ninja came to Shaolin, asked for a fight and many monks failed to beat him, the newspaper said.

“The facts that the monks could not defeat a Japanese ninja showed that they were named as kung fu masters in vain,” the Internet user was quoted as saying in the post.

The Shaolin Temple “strongly condemned the horrible deeds” of the user, the newspaper said.

“It is not only extremely irresponsible behavior with respect to the Shaolin Temple and its monks, but also to the whole martial art and Chinese nation,” it quoted the monks as saying.

The China/Japan Martial arts rivalry has been going on forever. It's True that Japan's military invasion in 1937 has caused allot of left over animosity and hard feelings over the years which has intensified that rivalry. It's often been a recurring theme in many of the old martial arts flicks made in Hong Kong.

a Japanese ninja came to Shaolin, asked for a fight and many monks failed to beat him, the newspaper said.

MANY of the Monks failed but not all of them? It wouldn't be surprising, if someone in Japan is going to send a Ninja to fight Shaolin monks it stands to reason they they would send one of their best. I would expect him to possibly defeat some of the more mediocre monk fighters but then lose to some of the Shaolin temple's best.

It's all good, a Korean martial arts champion back in the 1950's both China and Japan's leading martial artists, which included a ninja and shaolin monk if I remember right. Check out the movie "Fighter in the Wind" if you want more info.

Not really. The whole point of ninjitsu is stealth. YOu've got to see someone coming in order to shoot them.

That article had a great idea for a television series in it:

"Shaolin Temple Lawyer " Chow Yun Fat could play the title roll, and Chuck Norris could be a shadowy drifter with a questionable past. Godzilla would appear in the roll of The Ninja.

Somebody get the Shaw brothers on the phone.

Aren't the Shaw brothers all dead at this point? Besides Gordon Liu would have to be the lawyer or at very least the client.

Godzilla - he's dead, right? He dissolved when that one-eyed scientist put some gizmo in the water

I like Gordon Liu being the client. He'd have to disrupt the trial at some point by demonstrating his "flowing beard" kung fu style.

I'm not sure if the Shaw brothers are dead or not. They probably faked their deaths and are all living in some monkey god monestary now.

Godzilla is, in fact, dead. But he's pulled himself together and fought back from the grave before, so I wouldn't count him out just yet.
