Shaolin Chi Mantis was founded in 1992 when Richard Del Connor began teaching professionally for the Governor of Utah.
Shaolin Zen sprung from Shaolin Chi Mantis as the Zen Buddhism or Chan Buddhism of the Shaolin Temple. Shaolin Zen was prominent in Utah during the 1990s.
Tai Chi Youth and Buddha Kung Fu are also derived from the Shaolin Chi Mantis curriculum of 1992.
Now in 2015 Buddha Zhen has pulled the Yoga and Standing Stretch of Shaolin Chi Mantis for this Yoga curriculum. Some of the Qigong exercises of the Tai Chi Chuan classes are added for good measure.
