Do you ever wish the Turtles were Shaolin Masters?

[Raphael's Sardonic wit]

When i was young and the Turtles came out, i understood what a ninja was from how the Turtles explained what it was. But i couldn't tell you the difference back then between karate or kung-fu, OR ninjitsu and shaolin. For me they were all more or less the same - martial arts. Only later after watching LOADS of kung-fu movies it became apparent the difference in kung-fu (CHINESE martial arts) and Karate (JAPANESE martial arts). And after playing games like Shogun total war and Tenchu it finally clicked that Ninjas were assasins of the Samurai age in Japan, and were not kung-fu practitioners from China.

Anyway - I've since wondered what it'd be like if the Turtles weren't "Ninjas" and didn't have the Japanese influence. Instead, what if they were Shaolin masters? Not so much Shaolin monks (because the whole monk thing probably wouldn't catch on, although Splinter could be a wise monk?), but Shaolin kung-fu kicking Turtles? And what would they look like? How'd they fight? Would each turtle have a specific kung-fu style like characters in a Tekken game? Would their weapons be any different?

I know some of you Turtle fans are just as much fans of the whole Japanese Ninja thing, but i'm more a fan of the Chinese Kung-fu thing - so it'd be interesting to see new interpretations of the Turtles in this style.
