Ty in advance.

Well it obviously reflects their belief in their to defend themselves.

Here you go:

Read this.

Kung Fu can be used as self defense, Buddhism is a self defense mechanism.

Ex: Avoid suffering.

It was a stem of discipline taught by Buddha. However I can't imagine anyone teaching discipline who had a problem with it himself. He was FAT. Can't imagine him kicking someone in the head either.

it has no necessary or obvious connection with the philosophy of Buddhism except for displaying that Buddhism is obviously not strictly peaceful.

Your second posting Hmm
We can only point you in the general direction You have to do the rest for yourself Now come on It's not difficult Don't view it as "home work" View it as learning which can be fun

make a research on China's history and Chinese Buddhism and you will know.
isolation of the monastery, monks had to travel through jungles, social behavior of the ancient China, etc contributed the way Shaolin monks develop their concepts. in general, using physical force is not a problem - only the intention behind it has to be considered good or not.

popular ism spoils everything.

Do disregard Holy Caliber's answer. The "fat Buddha" is not the Buddha, but a Chinese Buddhist monk.

As for the Shaolin monk's, they are hardly Buddhists. Many people think that Buddhism promotes or encourages self-defense, but it doesn't really. Even wiped,DOA you read carefully, refers to the fact that the Shaolin monks moved away from Buddhism ..."losing the correct purpose of cultivating the Real."

Their Kung Fu does not reflect their religion. The Shaolin's lost the correct purpose of Buddhism. It's that simple. Funny how one small monastery, out of all the monasteries throughout all the Asian countries, romantically captures the heart of young men everywhere who want to feel powerful.
