As far as I know, it's not true.
Bodhidharma is a founder of Chinese Zen Buddhism.

you're only 11 and that's why you believed it. Bodhidhrama was most certainly not the founder of Kung Fu. If you read the article you would know that it wasn't a style that was founded, rather a tecqniqiue that was developed into kung fu

Bodhidharma did start Zen Buddhism and he also taught the monks in China the I Chin Ching which gave them capable bodies to create it. He also taught advanced chi gong such as Marrow and Brain Nourishing techniques and Hsien Tien Chi meditation.

Oh... almost forgot to mention, the I Chin Ching is based off Hatha yoga from Inida and he was from India. THis is why people get confused about India being involved in Chinese martial arts. Dhamo first tried to convince the Emperor of Zen Budhism but upon failure he eventually convinced shaolin after sitting in caves and approaching them many times

No it's not, Huo Tuo's five animal styles of shaolin kung fu predate Bodhidharma by 400 years. Kung fu can literally be traced back to 2500 BC to the xia dynasty.
