Putin Goes to Shaolin

Trade and martial arts dominate second day of Putin's China visit:

Before leaving China, Putin headed to the Shaolin Temple for a taste of Buddhism and martial arts. Established about 1,500 years ago, Shaolin is famed for the great combination of martial arts skill and Zen.

The Chinese press had already begun speculating as to whether Putin, a black belt expert in judo, would challenge the Shaolin monks after watching their demonstration of Shaolin Kung Fu.
