      Shi Hen Yang is a great master who is on the authentic path of teaching and self-mastery.
      The master even had the humility to learn with Master Hap Bo Heong in Malaysia in the internal aspects of Wumei Quan and Five Ancestor Fist /Wu Zu Quan.
      Most people barely know that Zen Buddhism in Japan, Korea and Vietnam etc all trace their dhamma source to Shaolin - it is or was the fountainhead and was of immense influence. In that regard, Shaolin was more important for its contribution to the development of Buddhism than to the martial arts even.
      This connection is /was recognized among the Samurai of Japan who popularized the Zen school with its focus on the unfettered mind (無心) in combat and the role of the martial arts as legitimate spiritual paths. All from Shaolin Zen Buddhism. Case in point, Yamaoka Tesshū who became enlightened in meditation and developed Itto Shoden Muto-ryu (Muto means "no sword") of kenjutsu.
      Shi Hen Yang is a master who is trying to preserve the essence of Shaolin unlike the commercialized, pimped up version found even in the Temple itself. That includes the connection to the spiritual aspects of Zen Buddhism which is barely given a nod in Shaolin Boxing nowadays.

      @84erMaxe Před rokem +32

      @@suhasmk3521 And what does that mean to you? Do you see this as a certain rating? Kalaripayattu is older and therefore better? The assertion that Kalaripayattu was taken to China by Bodhidharma is historically inaccurate. Meir Shahar wrote an extraordinary piece: "The Shaolin Monastery: History, Religion, and the Chinese Martial Arts". When anybody knows, if Bodhidharma took kalaripayat to China, I guess it would be Shahar and he would have written.
      After all it is just about dedication and commitment. Not older is better. There are reasons why things evolve. Would you ride a car from the 1920s? Better, more committed and more dedicated is better. So just start or continue what you're doing and become the best and most aware version yourself. And you'll realize, these patterns of rating are useless.

    A really interesting man and it’s nice to see the discussion and philosophy rather than purely discussing a technique. What he said about knowing what your whole body is doing struck a chord with me. I was practicing kata (pinan sandan - Wado) this week and my sensei asked me to repeat the first few techniques and tell me what was wrong. 30 years of training and I couldn’t work it out. It felt fine. He said my rear leg was trailing slightly and didn’t move with my body. I was so focussed on not turning into an attack and getting the blocks correct that I didn’t think about my back leg.
    Please do more discussing the martial arts philosophy. It seems to resonate across all forms and styles.

    you can tell instantly this guy is wise, he doesn't use some strange words or something to fake his knowledge, he goes directly to the point and explains really good stuff. in our current society, we use to have very low tolerance to frustration, so we abandon something if eventually becomes too difficult to continue or is too painful.
    i love the comparison he made with star wars, how both jedi and sith apply the Force in different ways, but training it regardless their characteristics cause they fully commit themselves to that.

    Beautiful stuff, Jesse, I hope this reached you as much as it seemed to in the video. I was lucky enough to have a very similar teacher when I started my own journey, and this was a nice 25-minute summary of the philosophies and practices he was imparting to me. Being reminded is always a positive thing, and in my opinion everybody needs to hear the concepts this great teacher is expressing. Thank you for sharing your journey, and reaching thousands of people whose lives could genuinely be changed by just the small amount of wisdom in these videos!

    For some reason it made me cry, both part 1 and 2. I feel like he said truths that people don't have the courage to say, or don't know how to say. It feels like he was speaking directly to my soul, to the very core of my being, encouraging me to take action, to take action in so many positive ways, like stop running from pain. I can feel the strength, self-assurance but also the compassion emanating from this great master.

    Beautiful work, Jesse! I've watched his TED talk a few years ago, and it was something that I kept close to my mind. To see your experience at the temple and interviewing him just confirmed how a wise man walks through life. Always in the path of his own choosing, always strong and in harmony.

      @xcaracho Před rokem +2

      ​@@KARATEbyJesse Actually the best way to translate Wu Wei it is Action without attachments. Wei is action. Wu in chinese cosmology means empty (but full of potential - like an empty paper - you can draw or write anything on it, but right now its just the possibility). There is no ego, no expectations just 100% concentration on the present moment. Then you can easily and react to any situation and without excessive effort. It is no magic, just a skill that can be taught and trained. There is a 2006 movie called Peaceful Warrior, where it is perfectly shown and explained. It's actually based on a real story about an athlete. There are no martial martial arts, but the point is clear. Stop just training karate and start training everything - your life. Be always 100% in the present moment without attachments - that is the way to true mastery.

    damn I trained Kung Fu when I was teenager, wish I had a master like this... that really explain and give meaning for everything you are training, not just do it because it is what it is because an instructor its telling to do only. So nice teaching.

    • @Tenchigumi
      @Tenchigumi Před rokem +2

      I also trained in Kung Fu as a kid, in the notoriously competitive and bickering setting of the San Francisco Bay Area in the 90s. From my experience, there was always such a massive disconnect between the philosophy (which was sound) and the praxis (which was often petty and immature). Much of it came down to money: the biggest schools would obviously make the most money, and with so much competition for students (and with the advent of MMA chipping away at new students), these sifus would constantly talk crap about each other, boasting about fights that never happened, about superhuman feats they couldn't prove, and about prowess that was usually demonstrated brutally on new students, but rarely against strong, practiced opponents.
      In short, I also wish I had a master like this.

    Breathing part was the most important. In Spetsnaz fight system we breath much. Prior to fight there is breathing exercise. Pump as much air as possible to the body. Exhale and inhale as fast and as deep as possible while moving up hands for every inhale and down for every exhale. Everytime you get hit exhale and everytime you strike inhale. When to breath is far more important than most people give it credit.
