Masterful & Beautiful. I’m using Shaolin Kung Fu to rehabilitate my back & neck from injuries. It’s saved my life. 🙏
Yeah, respected, I just loaded a more shocking Shaolin Monk's video on my CZcams channel, maybe you can get interested.
I have been fascinated by Shaolin since I was a little kid. It would be a much better way of life than the materialism here in America. I thank the Shaolin Temple and China for sharing this with the world💕
If you think living like a poor farmer who occasionally works out and prays is a better life then what you currently lead, well, then just LEAVE your current life behind. Go on, do it. Become that farmer working out in the middle of no-where-important.
Chances are, your life just sucks, you're bitter about it, and seeing this romanticised, mystical kung fu marketing sets off your tendency towards escapist fantasy.
So you think it's worth putting all this work just to learn martial art for no practical purposes, but we in US aren't worth going to school, create amazing technologies that help the world move forward?
Yeah, respected, I just loaded a more shocking Shaolin Monk's video on my CZcams channel, maybe you can get interested.
What I found fascinating about Shaolin is that it's a perfect combination of spiritual and physical life. A type of life I always want to live.
So lived it 🤗
yeah , me too, I wonder if I learn chinese I can put my hands in some scrolls of chi kung
Christian monks (Catholic and Orthodox) work most of their life to sustain their monastery. Farming, cooking, distilling, handiwork and the like. The rest of the time is usually spent in mass and prayer. They even spend the time eating listening to theology. It's kinda amazing that in history no monk order wanted to defend themselves. Completely different to buddhist monks.
So western monks have spiritual/physical balance too, but it's completely developed out of necessity (although they are taught to love their work).
I don't think there's many people that are made for these kind of lifestyles - western or eastern. Be careful what you wish for
Start young if that's truly what you want. I agree with you but energy and long years of patience are needed.
...as well
This documentary is one of the most serious, informative ones about Shaolin Kungfu and its contemporary masters.
but it is not martial art aka Gung-fu i.e. Chu'uan Fa (Ken Fat in Mandarin) Wu Shu that is now PaQua kuntao style domicile in Southern China not Northern traditional Shaolin.
because china wants to make itself look good in the eyes of the rest of the world
@@ddmound of course its kung fu especially by the traditional meaning
@@tengudown5968 are you making a distinction between Kung Fu and Gung fu bc there is a vast difference
@@ddmound In Mandarin, Kung Fu or Gong fu literally means any skill acquired from hard and long effort. If you specifically mean "Martial Arts" every Chinese person will refer to "Wushu" or "Wugong" . The Shaolin monks would refer to Shaolin Wugong. Kung Fu is the term popularized by movies and bruce lee. The ancient book of Martial Arts in China still written as "Wushu".
I had been to Shaolin for a short training visit quite a few years ago. It was one of the most beautiful and profound experience I've ever had. Would love to go back and visit Shifu Shi Yanji. He is a great teacher and the Song mountains are beautiful! The food in Deng Feng is also amazing.
Robert Miller, are you fucking insane?? Do you even know what these young boys go through? They get slapped and punched for doing even the most minor technique wrong! You better get that David Carradine shit out of your mind, and fucking wakeup. Scroll to 29:25 in this video to see and 8 year old boy get the shit slapped out of him.
Are they as fit as they seem in the video or more?
@@genghismike6186 Oh more. The thing I appreciated most is that the monk's footwork for kickboxing was so good. I also wanted to learn some San Da/Kickboxing and their actual fighting ability was very impressive, it is definitely not just performance. Cheers man!
Wow! 💜 I thank China for sharing Shaolin Kung Fu and the Shaolin way of life to the world. It is changing my life and I have never been more at peace.
From where yourlearningit
Yeah, respected, I just loaded a more shocking Shaolin Monk's video on my CZcams channel, maybe you can get interested.
It’s not the only china shared with us 😷
I'm from Afghanistan and done Shaolin for 30 years, and finally went to Shaolin temple 10 years ago. I was so blessed ❤. It's a life changing experience
A true master can subdue an opponent without a fight
POWERFUL.
@John Wick Coward boys way 🤭
Too much Shaw Bros. movies watched🤣🤣🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭💜🤣
@John Wick or just driving a tank
@John Smith another fact: their endurance is OP confronted to an MMA fighter and they have techniques too so it’s a 50/50 for me. Don’t underestimate monks, they maybe are even stronger cause they don’t give a f about fame, money ecc they can beat the shit out of a clowning mc Gregor
@Gerard Petrone I requoted a line that made major sense to me in this video..listen again ❤️
"If Kung Fu is not useful in a real combat, it no longer is Kung Fu" - Shaolin Disciple Shi Yanzi. Exactly!!!
Kong fu is not useful in real combat. That has been proven time and time again. Put any MMA fighter against a monk and they get their ass kicked.
@@bt70a9 to be good at sport fighting you need to practice sport fighting. There are plenty of Shaolin students who specialize in Sanda. If they cross train in ground fighting they would hold their own in mma. It's that simple. The Shaolin students aren't for the most part training to compete. They all hit pads and spar regularly with hard contact. If their goal is not to compete they aren't going to train for it. There is more to life than prize fighting. In fact the martial arts weren't developed for prize fighting.
@@bt70a9 You are right. MMA fighter get his ass kicked,
@@bt70a9 mma is the hybrid of mixed weeds i like it because it effective collection from traditional MAs
Kris tian that depends on how you apply it
i can't imagine WHAT LEVEL OF CONCENTRATION AND FOCUS THEY HAVE
Thank you for posting such an insightful documentary. The movies have done a disservice to this exemplary way of life, engaging the mind, body and spirit and over a long period of time, embodying perseverance, practice and humility. Although hand to hand combat is no longer needed - the discipline from breathing, to calmness, still has a much needed place in all societies. Greetings and respect from New Zealand.

Hi from Guatemala. I love Chinese culture. I admire this great country.
But shaolin temple founder is a Indian bro..
@111AAA bodhi dharman is a kalari kalari payyattu master...
@111AAA what history... I am from south India... Don't teach ur history...
@111AAA hahha we are all history make thes world... Get lost mhan
@111AAA u just serch PALLAVA RAJA vamsha...
I watch some snippets of this video every time when I'm feeling anxious and weak..after watching it..my blood starts flowing faster and by then all my anxiety has gone.
I have the highest respect and appreciation and admiration for these Chinese Monks. Thank you so much for the privilege I have to watch. How I wish I had that type of tenacity. Thank You!!
Great to see the Air Nation rebuilding itself.
haha! xD
I believe Wu Dang would be closer to the air benders.
@@youngmo77 Wu dang does mostly tai ji man.
Funny I just watched that the other night on Netflix. It look like Bryan Koniezko and Michael DiMartino are going to make a new live-action adaptation on Netflix. We will see how this turns out.
QWIET MONEY NETWORK air bending is most similar to baguazhang, a Taoist martial art focused on circular movements
Thank you for your share. Undoubtedly, shaolin Kung-Fu is my favorite martial art.
While The home Shaolin Monastery in SongShan is now well known for its warrior monks and their legends, it is also the 祖庭 original court of “Chan Zong 禅宗”， the Zen philosophy that spread throughout China then East and Southeast Asia, and later to the West by Japanese, and some would argue this aspect of Shaolin is far more important than its kongfu aspect.
It is true. As someone who has recently "converted" to buddhism, I have more respect than ever for Shaolin.
this is the only document i watched without a single yawning
Beautiful. Thank you for this video.
Kudos to the camera crew, editors and animators that put this doco together. Very nice camera work...
Me at 3a.m having a spur of wanting to learn kung fu after watching Kung Fu Panda once
Dude you are absolutely right. I started watching this at 3 o’clock in the morning. I just don’t know where to begin.
Hahaha inspired by KungFu Panda
Good a reason as any my friend! 🤷🏻♀️👌🏻🤣
Ancient Shaolin temple teached subjects are,
1. Philosophy (zen, Buddhism, Taoism) for mind strongness;
2. Physical training (excercises, Kung fu, meditation) for body strongness;
3. Medicine (herbs knowledge, disease & injuries healing, health science, longevity of natural life).
جميلة ورائعة هذة القناة فيديوهات جميلة جدا
Mashallah nice i love the culture and triditions especially their discpline,
I love ❤ to learn shoilen kungfu and also want to teach my childrens from Master,

Found very informative video want to see more videos like these ❤❤
they have a unbelievable Willpower !!! respect to this special people !!! 👍👍👍
it's really powerful and i love it
Thank you CGTN for posting such instructive material videos for free.
I like the focus on both body and mind as well as spirit. Too often we get distracted and lose sight of what makes life worth living. Our health. Instead people compensate for the lack of balance by taking drugs or abusing alcohol as well as drinking coffee just to stay awake. Chronic sleep deprivation is a real issue. Sadly, that lifestyle has become the norm in many places with people who question that destructive lifestyle being considered weird. I personally have decided to aim for balance and health.
Consciousness is indeed being raised. More people are realizing that, if you have your health, you have everything, but if you don't have it, you have nothing. This is because you literally need your health in order to enjoy anything, from working to watching a movie.
Also, sleep deprivation is indeed overlooked by many people who are not aware that you need sleep just as much, if not more, than you need food. You literally need 8-10 hours every night, and some people think that 4-6 is okay. They are very ignorant. As science gets better, and more research is done, more people will slowly realize how important taking care of our bodies is. Keep being positive! Thanks for spreading a good message, bro.
Boy and mind the spirit Christ takes care of
good comment but coffee is actually pretty healthy. of course if you drink it to stay awake it can lead to a lack of good sleep which is obviously bad
Beautiful Chinese culture...love it
Kung fu was invented by south indian prince bodhidharma he is a kalaripayattu practitioner . Kalaripayattu is world's oldest martial arts and Mother of all Martial arts
@@mscreationworks5787 you're drunk, although kalaripayattu is called the mother of all martial arts, it is factually incorrect since historical evidence points to the origin of martial arts at multiple locations in the world, much earlier than Kalaripayattu.Angampora in Sri Lanka has close connection with Kalari. read this bitch en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_arts#History
Bodhidharma or Tomo in Japan 80 % of Japanese gods are hindu gods
I am a south Indian and I am below to south indian dravidian culture
I am only saying Kung fu not other Chinese martial arts
Great Nation with great history love from Pakistan
Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you!
एक भारतीय बोधिधर्मन की देन है ये दुखद बात ये है कि भारतीय इनको भूल गया और चीन इनको पूजता है
I Love chinese kung fu.
Kung founder from etnic tamilzhan from tamil nadu india. He is name bodhidarman. Chinnese call he name damo. Proud to be tamilzhan. czcams.com/video/Fh8g3iprhFk/video.html
People who doubt shaolin gongfu in a real fight, watch here 41:53, then 41:59, then 42:03 That is Xiao Hong Quan application right here :) This fight was won because Shi Fu Yan Zi used traditional Xiao Hong to prove the point & I'm glad he did that - opened my eyes about traditional forms. I know Xiao Hong but I'd never imagined it in a real fight like this. Respect Shaolin Gong Fu!
Let's get Ranton on this
I agree
Rantoni squad reporting

Okay we doing this or not?
i love chines girl
After my schooling, I shall dedicate a full year, and humbly learn Shaolin Kung-fu at the Temple!
These are the “Super Humans” of today’s world. This is always fascinating to learn about.
Cyph _ I Agree with You
Jesus has always been the super hero not monks
@@mortgagefinancing5558 there is no jesus
Highlighted...you have no love
@@mortgagefinancing5558 shut up...
Jesus lived around 2000 years ago... But buddha, he lived 3000 years ago.... And buddha is the ultimate beauty.... Jesus... (🤣)
buddha was a pure vegitarian, he had love for all living beings.... But christianity is only for humans
Great documentary ❤️
释延奥的每一招每一式都是艺术的力量其功夫境界之高真让人震惊佩服。这是我这一生看到最美丽的少林功夫。
....this is fascinating... the discipline and strength..
I saw Sifu Yanzi perform at SENI in 2014, very cool to him and Sifu Yan Lei in this well-made documentary :).
"These are professionals. Don't try this at home." Ha, ha, ha... Thanks, I was about to start...
Are you still there buddy?
@@huyifan83 Apparently he tried Kund Fu at home and died.
LMAO.

Muy interesante esta disciplina física,mental y espiritual,gran enseñanza para toda la humanidad ,gracias por su demostración al mostrar su preparación y práctica.
Happy to know chinese tv station here. Wish the motherland prosperity!
I have to admit, chinese shaolin kungfu has got to be the world's most respected art form. Kungfu fighting have been adapted in every cinematic productions outside of China. I shake my head and giggle that even Alita battle angel knows kungfu
chuan fa is the essence of all wu shu kung fu ... to me
@@erwinh.trepte4291 there are so many forms, all are graceful and elegant on their own. It's mental, physically, spiritual, all beautifully mended together. It's art in the highest human form
Kung fu invented by a south indian king named Bodhi dharma and he only originated the shaolin temple in china.
Yeah, respected, I just loaded a more shocking Shaolin Monk's video on my CZcams channel, maybe you can get interested.
I love kung fu 🥋 very much someday i will take a training too☝️
👍👍👍👍👍
In China, Kungfu is the title of martial arts. There are many types and schools of martial arts (or Kungfu), and not all Kungfu is Shaolin Kungfu.
Just because some Shaolin monks insisted on martial arts practice as a practice course, people all over the world did not see their Buddhist practice and physical and mental practice. They misunderstood the Shaolin monks and Buddhism, and misunderstood the philosophical connotation of Chinese Kung Fu.
A masterpiece 🎯
Absolutely fantastic. I love watching the supreme skills and great discipline of the Shaolin Masters, what they put themselves through to perfect their Martial Art and Mastery is truly awe inspiring to watch.. Thank you so much for sharing 👌🙏☀️🌍🌙🙌

Great video. Keep posting more!
thank you for this, i will watch them all, i am fascinated with chinese history i love it
Thank you
Kung-fu is not originated from Shaolin Temple. The founder is Bodhi dhrama who's from India. Who taught these china Kung-fu. Know the history and make videos.
@@blog_canada whaaaaat imma look it kung fu is originated from china bruhh.. india get get fake martial arts lol
Do your research properly and you'll get the right answers. Type in Bodhi Dharma in Google. They praise him and the temples are built for him.
@@blog_canada Buddha is also from India, but the religion is also not originated there right?
I have always felt a deep and undeniable sense of connection to this specific priesthood. I desire to finish my days studying as wholly as possible, knowing it will benefit my chi profoundly.
expecting from a child to have same discipline or focus or ability to learn or to stance as a shaolin master who mastered the arts of moving after 10+ years of practicing, its quite high expectation, isnt it? as grown ups must be our duty to turn back time as when we were kids and remember what we didnt like about other grown ups language or behaviour, as to train here where there is no competition but ones willing to become better. protect and love the kids all over the world. sometimes a love petting on the shoulder or u can do it within time or perseverance, but as your will will choose, as you are your own master, kid. love from europe and admiration
I Love Shaolin Martial art.

Good
36:35 .. no one is beating Yan Lei ~ I loved that he was in it 😍 I just did his plank meditation today
Yeee recognized him also haha
Thank you for your love of Chinese civilization.
Great ,thank you !
I want to see everything I can on this amazing Martial Artist (22:52) Shi Yanbo WOW, LOOK AT THIS GUY, So Cool.
It is a staged show.
why because he lifts weights?
@@sabrinachen4547 are you saying the weights are fake?
@@sabrinachen4547 all shows are staged
Just excellent
Excellent indeed and very spiritual
These men are truly living, they are truly alive, to know oneself, and to push the boundaries of their body's and minds, they are living in a manner that most people can't even imagine, they are living while we sleep.
Amazing lifestyle. Honor!!! And respect!!!
I love Kung fu. l have learned wushu for 1month. I hope I can learn wushu again soon.
I became interested in Kung Fu , i feel like it's calling my name and train to be. Warrior. Hmmm interesting i love it. I will start to train tomorrow.

Muchas Gracias por compartir este material, Saludos desde Chile.
I'm looking forward to either training in China or Japan might even relocate my family there I'm not sure yet but I absolutely embrace there discipline I mean it's beyond anything I've ever study ad I've study many cultures I feel it's a connection for me to feel free I'm a world grasped by restrictions. There way of life is life and beyond. There ancestors would be proud and honored to see what they've contributed to there legacy 🙏.... I would be honored to have a master teach my children 🙏. Not here in America no disrespect to what many have achieved, but for me I must go to the origins of kung fu....
I think you'd better learn and practice Korean combat skill or similar wild skill. You have wrong idea upon Kung fu of movie. It is just movie or fraud, not real.
truly amazing!
Wow, so inspirational and energetic... and uplifting just knowing there are PEOPLE out there this strong and energetic... wow! Amazing! Great video. Thank you for sharing this wonderful documentary!!!
Great
This is the one and only dream of a kung fu artist
I Love Shaolin Martial art.
Me too
Very impressed with the culture and there Way of life. Just did my first video. Fastest Marine corps vet. I'm as fast as a Cobra my friend's say. God bless. CPL James Heflin Marine corps vet.
Que top, faça mais desses vídeos, sou praticante de artes marciais, Kung Fu shaolin!
There is a legendary video.. I can't find it any more. Of a man that would attack just ONCE.. with such force that dust and dirt would fly off his clothing and kick up from the ground. I think what is being portrayed here in this video is linked to that. Creating inner strength to increase your power. It's a kung fu style that has VERY few strikes but require a lot of power.
I respect how they train the children.. the tenacity in the eyes of his mentor.. That child will grow to be stronger than him.
That's a stunt. Some martial artists will treat their clothes with starch, or apply dust or chalk to them before a performance, in order to create the impression of extra "power".
If you want to measure someone's power, have them hit something, like a heavy bag, or someone competent fighting back. Everything else is just gimmicks and stagecraft.
Yeah, respected, I just loaded a more shocking Shaolin Monk's video on my CZcams channel, maybe you can get interested.
Cant deny i luv kung fu forever.
I’ve been fascinated by the Shoalin ever since the tv show I watched as a young boy. Very good documentary.

Bodhidharma is from Tamilnadu from a place called Kancheepuram and he is our forefather to be proud upon ❤ Good luck health and peace to all my Chinese brothers and sisters from heart😊🙏🏼
kung fu is originate in china. chines warriors use kung fu his all wars kung fu is very old in china kung fu is older than your bodhidharma. But bodhidharma know his india art kalariyapatu and gone china and chines some villeges accept it. kung fu and kalariyapatu very different art kallaripayatu use weapon kung fu use his body power. and not ful true yo movie and history..kung fu is already used by chines warriors not bodhidharma
"A true master can subdue an opponent without a fight." #FACTS
beautiful culture
Respect understand while roaring like lions. What a combination of strong ethics to pass down🔱💞
Fantastic and thank you.✌️❤️
Dziekuje bardzo! CZESC.
I FULLY BELIEVE THAT SHAOLIN KUNGFU IS THE BEST
Shaolin is just a collection of gimmicks and circus tricks. The only reason some of the monks can 'fight' is because they have Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) training.
If you want real Chinese fighting martial arts then Sanda and Shuai Jiao (traditional Chinese and Mongolian wrestling) are your only ports of call.
And frankly dude, if it wasn't for the possible cross-training in Sanda, you could probably smash most of these "monks" (i.e. performers).
@@shaolinabbott9161 i don't 🤔🤔 think so
@@SuperhumanUnchained It's irrelevant what you think. You're entitled to your own opinion, but you aren't entitled to your own facts.
The reality is, like it or not, that the Shaolin monks cannot fight unless they have cross-trained in a more "real" or "hands-on" style, like Sanda or Shuai Jiao.
The rest is just gimmicks to impress those with poor critical thinking skills.
@@shaolinabbott9161 i believe if you have a Monk that was in Shaolin from the age of 5 until age 30 and he learned all 72 technique's Hard and soft style, along with Qing na, along with the hard and soft Qigong, the iron fist, the IRONBODY, the iron legs the ironhead, the 5 styles monkey crane, leopard, dragon, tiger, these are all the basics before fighting sanda or xanda which means Chinese kickboxing if you get a Monk like that i don't think you and i together can't beat him, because they trained there whole life and they are PERFECTLY CONDITIONED AND TRAINED, they don't even want to be known and they don't want glory, everyone thinks that BRUCE LEE was the greatest martial artist ever, we can't take that away from him, because he trained hard, but these guys trained harder than Bruce Lee the whole day all day long, i am entitled to my own opinion, and you to, but the same guys you are saying you think they can fight only because of Xanda your wrong and if you should challenge them, they will make you look like unto a joke, that's my opinion
@@SuperhumanUnchained That's a lot of mythology and mysticism. Frankly, if those monks were that good, they would have proved it in competition by now. You can't expect anyone to believe that they have this overwhelming, demigod-like power, but that they somehow can't win a combat sport competition without killing their opponent. That's just fantasy.
Besides - Sanda competitors get more fighting ability with less training. If it takes you 25 years to get someone to a good competition-level, then your style/school/training method is a failure. Modern kickboxers, muay thai fighters, wrestlers, judoka, MMA fighters etc do not take anywhere near that long.
Respectfully, Shaolin teaches a lot of stuff that is superfluous to fighting.
And Bruce was a good martial artist (sort of), and an actor. He wasn't a particularly good fighter. Kimbo Slice did better in street fights, and we have footage of that. And even Kimbo struggled with the transition to MMA. Bruce didn't even have that much.
The child never had to work hard on his kung fu, the temple is like a playground for him. --> 29:44
its not what they consider hard. the boy would be considered weak for crying over something so simple. in the past it was trojan military hard. little boys where men not kids. hesnever really had to work hard. lots of time for play too. not sure how useful this new age kng fu is. more like dancing.
awesome more than a Film
Amazing and the dedication WOW 😮😬😬😬
If I have another life I want to live as a Shaolin monk & learn the ways...
Kung fu lives in everything we do.
lt lives in how we put on a jacket, how we take off the jacket. And lives in how we treat people. Everything is kung fu. (Jackie Chan _ The Karate Kid _ 2010)
