There are records of organized fighting systems in China prior to Bodhidharma. Though this is also before the Yellow Emperor (approx. 2600BC) .

The beliefs that it all started from one single place are just rumor. Before Bodhidarma taught his '18 movement exercises' in China, there was a fighting and healing style already practiced by Hua Tuo, doctor of surgery and inventor of anesthesia.

According to tradition, the Yellow Emperor (Huangdi, traditional date of ascension to the throne 2698 BCE) introduced the earliest forms of martial arts to China.[8] The Yellow Emperor is described as a famous general who, before becoming China’s leader, wrote lengthy treatises on medicine, astrology and the martial arts. He allegedly developed the practice of jiao di or horn-butting and utilized it in war.
