Found on the internet (similar information was found on several websites in 2008): "A Tibetan monk by the name of Ordator was wandering alone in the mountains when he encountered a battle between a crane and an ape. Thinking that the spindly and fragile Crane would soon succumb ... he was surprised when the crane defeated the ape. He studied the movements of the crane ... The crane’s graceful hoping and turning movements became the basis for the White Crane style, now famous throughout China."
