Doshin So(spelling?) the founder of Shorinji Kempo(Shaolin fist way) seemingly learned from the same monk as Wang had been in contact with, he combined those few fists with Daitō-ryū to form his MA.………(about if it was the same Monk, don’t ask me for sources. I was on two very separate occasions reading about Shorinji Kempo and then YiQuan, and rembered the same name of a Shaolin monk came up. So it could very well be two different monks with same name, but also it could be the same monk)
