He always leaves India. He visits the entire world. He just can't visit his homeland because of persecution.

Sure they're great choreographed wushu routines pwn. But those were mostly secondary wu shu routines, the monks are probably some wushu athletes from somewhere in China.

edit: common misconception, Shaolin is not the mother of all martial arts.
