Northern Shaolin (Chinese: 北少林; pinyin: Běishàolín; Cantonese Yale: Bak-siu-làhm; sometimes also Northern Shaolin Boxing School, Chinese: 北少林拳門; Cantonese Yale: Bak-siu-làhm Kyun-mun) are the martial arts of Northern China, in particular the styles from the Northern Shaolin Monastery in Henan. It is most associated with the style practiced by Gù Rǔzhāng (顧汝章 1894–1952; also known as Ku Yu-cheung), the Sōngshān Shí Lù Shàolínquán (嵩山十路少林拳) / Song Mountain Ten Road Shaolin Boxing. When the distinction is made, it is an "external" martial art (rather than an "internal" martial art).
