every time i train on my bicycle i see old people, ( i am only 57 ) , people in wheelchairs, junkies and more and i keep riding because of it. one day, my legs may go away too. i love this man's attitude. we have a lot in common.
This Man Changed my life. Just with his Gift to Inspire people and his exercises. Got a Level of Life Quality i could Never Even Imagine. Thank You Master Yan Lei You are the Best
I’ve trained with this guy years back when him and shifu yanzi first came to England. Most graceful hard knock ever. There’s plenty of hard guys but none more graceful
A very smart man. He is at a completely different level, spiritually and physically. He combined both attributes, a mental and physical strength. AMAZING...
I run distance and I always keep in mind that someone would do anything to just be able to walk. No matter what there's always somebody having it worse than you
I like this approach to Chinese martial arts, respecting the roots of traditional Kung fu but adapting to modern fighting. Never limiting yourself to a rigid style and always being open minded to classical asian philosophy and strategies of other martial arts
Totally agree with you, here in Argentina most of Shaolin style schools don 't train sparring nor martial training, they only train Forms, 90% Forms, 10% Sanda/sparring. Greetings from Argentina and congrats for your work 👏👏👏🙏
What does it cost to live there? Are there places one can do work exchanges at dojos in Argentina? I love latin america and want to work there as well, are there was to do that?
A true Shaolin master right there, always trying to find technics that can help him and his disciples. Kung fu is a giant stew made from all kinds of styles, we have to find our own mix to make our own stew.
Master Yan Lei will be a good teacher because I can see he is using his 8 fold path well.... thank you Master Yan Lei well done you will be successful.
Thank your time and efforts in the making of this video. You teach practically and from the heart. You don't have to be a martial artist to benefit in life from your sincere, honest and heart felt teachings. Thanks again and many blessings to you and your family and friends.
WOW, Shifu I really love the way how you defining the true martial art philosophy!! What a humble man you are, respect!! So happy listening to you. Amituofo!!
Great martial art example and way of thinking - Practice, respect other and enjoy life. Nothing wrong in learning from other disciplines, that only make us all stronger, I wish I could attend your classes. Thanks Sifu for sharing your humble thoughts. :-)
Great Master, have my respetc, portuguese: A filosofia da pratica marcial é profunda, assim como as palavras do senhor, pode até nunca ter acesso a este post, mas agradeço suas sabias palavras e o poder de pensar presente. Nan Quan Gongfu Mao - Rondonia, Brazil.
Blessings for you, brother. I think the same way you do. Each one must create their own forms, but it is very good to learn other forms first, to then be able to create an adaptable form to our physical possibilities. I do not believe in the perfect recipe, but I prefer to learn from all of them, and see what works for me personally. When I was young, I wanted to learn to fight to get revenge for those who beat me at school. But thanks to the path of life, a book came to me, and that was the beginning of my interest in learning to train my body and mind, to have a better quality of life. I continue to learn, and I hope to continue learning.
Humility is a wonderful trait 🙏🏽🌟 issue with the western philosophy (pros and cons) is the objectification of things so martial arts has become a thing...... in the East its a way of life , incorporating meditation, slow movement Katas (qi ging / chi gong / tao / dao / zen) beautiful stated. Zen "to practice being at your best at every moment".
Master yan i never thought to find some one how i think but you are the one i am so happy to see People like you simple and Humble. Master is telling you you have to Love what you do or forget it then you will never reach the Level to ne a master everyfing depends on you just he means
If I may.. Sanda (San Soo/Chinese kick boxing) is one of the most emotional, spiritual, physical intense in my 20+ years since I started.. The "inside qigong is absolutely so beautiful..
13:27 SHIFU YANLEI: eggs have sugar inside after listening three more times on repeat: SHIFU YANLEI: everything has sugar inside ME: Now that I have understood, I must listen to this sentence 100000000 times more. Shifu you are a true master - sorry for not listening correctly
你好师傅. 很好影片. 我想知道名字这个歌. 谢谢. Not quite sure if thats correct :D so basically I'd like to know where I can find this relaxing background music. Thank you
When we used to train with him and shifu yanzi, these guys used to do press ups on one arm sideways and look around the room keeping an eye on everyone.
@@moutasoru2575 every 2 day over 2800 pushups everyday Training make you to master not just 1 time if you do you ain't a master. U have to praktice to master or grandmaster horse stance very importend in mma to ne a master you need 20 year 8h everyday
Traditional Chinese martial arts don't use the "military" rank system as other martial arts. The kwoon is like a household and operated similar to a family. The Shifu is the father and the teacher also head of the house. His wife is the mother of the house and since the mother is also a teacher, she's called the Shimu. The students are like brothers and sisters. Senior students become disciplines of the father/Shifu/teacher. Disciples are called túdì, or I just say todi to get the pronounciation correct. But the Shifu also have a Shifu, since he belongs to his Shifu's kwoon and family it forms a family tree. The Shifu's Shifu is then the grandfather of the family and is called the Shigong. Grandmaster and master and teacher are just terms used loosely, when it comes to Chinese martial arts, to try and explain rank to someone who doesn't know about the tradition. As long as your Shifu see you worthy to teach, then you are a Shifu the moment you can open your own kwoon. And in traditional Chinese martial arts you don't have belts to define a rank, however different colours sashes was introduced to group the family with the Gold Sash traditionally the highest given to the father/Shifu/teacher.
I dissagree with not fighting back when attacked,cus thats not intelligent,if you let someone punk you there gona keep doin it.kundalini makes you have a peacful mind,actually if you dont like an instruter it will create negative tension,which interferes with you teaching them,then conflict you cant treat people any kind of way,cus number 1 its dissrespect and abusive ex:suppose your instructer prays to another god but you dont serve that God and part of the class is to praise their god,budda or whatever other god they serve but thats not part of their culture,you cant force people to ignore that just because they want to learn martial arts.I understand disclipine I think thats inportant as a martial arts instructer,im not saying be soft but respect other people.I believe you can keep training hard even when you get older,Iv seen it:ex,georgeforman kept boxing even when he was in his 50,s and still dominated boxers much younger than him,and the only reason why he stopped was because they dident want an older person beating up younger boxers i guess it was too humiliating for them,the 80 year old female body builder,kobe bryan played basket ball for a long time,money mayweather ,jackLolane is another good example, you can do anything you put your mind to no matter the age if you know how to train and know how to maintin it and be determined to keep at it,you will be strong for the rest of your life.

@@ShaolinLT I didnt find it :(
Is his eyes being ok?I hope is good
His eyes are ok
it is funny because it is true.
I would like to see a conversation (or sparring) between Sifu Yan Lei and Master Wong. someone put that together!
I thought the same. Maybe we can officially text them both.
@B B he likes to seem like that. Who knows, who knows..
Sensei nearby my sensei I ask who should I fear.....
hi
❤
💯
Sir please send veza I come chana
He’s doing it for you now, will take a few weeks. Pack your bags.

this guy makes me wanna do pushups or as i like to call them 'qi pumps'
Weird flex but okay...
When we used to train with him and shifu yanzi, these guys used to do press ups on one arm sideways and look around the room keeping an eye on everyone.
Try doing 100 pushups, 100 sit-ups, 100 pull-ups, and 10km run every single day for 2-3 years, you’ll be the strongest.
