brilliant video! I loved the first performer demonstrating superb concentration and energy sensitivity. I loved how it wasn't just a bunch of people with bow staffs either, but covered a wide range of martial arts weapons. if only there were more respectable martial arts videos on youtube such as this one! thank you!
I have no problem with this. But I'm tired of people viewing martial arts as a performance. People always watch these videos and criticize it all, but it's stupid. You cannot tell how effective a martial art is from watching a video. Only from real life.
This is beyond impressive! It's all about focus, discipline, long years of practice and perseverance channeling and harnessing all your own physical, mental and spiritual energies inside yourself in the most positive and effective way possible! This is the ultimate demonstration of physical, mental and spiritual energy, forces & strength! This is NOT about fighting, but reaching your own ultimate excellence on every level! If one ever reaches this level of excellence, he/she is best prepared to defend him/herself in any given threatening situation by far. I am in awe after watching this...
I know 4 right now, Shotokon Karate, Aikido, Judo, and Jujitsu. I'm 15 and I've been doing it since I was 7, so about 8 years. There aren't many martial arts trainers in my city either, but I found a guy who teaches a Shaolin class. You might search online for any kung fu classes in your area.
Amazing display of chi energy, I enjoyed this. This shows the artistic side of martial arts. I think a lot of people are aware that this is for performance and also aware of the fact that fighting skill is the other side of martial arts. Nonetheless their discipline in balance , strength n flexibility is extraordinary! Respect
Same here! I already know Shotokon Karate, Aikido, Judo and some Jujitsu, and I want to learn Muay Thai and Shaolin Kung Fu and combine them all into my own form that works for me.
Very nice, great focus and concentration, superb discipline required to do this, the U.S., for the most part, seriously lacks this as you can tell by some of the comments.
Thank you for your reply. Where in China? I know amazing Shaolin monks that came from China and now live in the US and do demonstrations and teach, that is why I asked.
I'm planning on studying Shaolin and Muay Thai to combine it with other arts I know into my own art form. I'm thinking I'll combine the viciousness of Muay Thai with the speed, technique, precision, flexibility and strength of Shaolin and Karate, with the arm bars and wrist locks of Aikido and the throws and pins of Judo and the groundwork of Jujitsu, into one bad ass martial art form. Plus, power enhancement through Qi Gong.

+Omphile Y Actually the idea of the jedi was inspired by Tibetan monks and most notably Shaolin Monks! George Lucas has said this in many interviews. He's also said that the jedi fighting style and way of the jedi was heavily inspired by the Shaolin. (Which shouldn't be surprising as traditionally the Shaolin would only accept 3-4 year olds into the monastery to become monks, the extensive martial arts training yet focus on pacifism and righteousness, etc. )
If by "pure" you mean strictly martial arts, then no, the school Jackie was in wasn't a pure kung fu/wushu school. He trained at the Peking Opera School which involved martial arts training but for the purpose of theater.

It's a superb exercise routine, as it was originally meant to be. The problem is when people starting thinking that Chinese yoga was somehow a good way to kick everyone's ass. Not any more than power lifting, though they both have applications in the field.
I see this debate on here about where martial arts started. Technically it started on the battlefield. Martial(war) arts, so any empire or nation that ever existed on this planet that had a standing army practiced martial arts. Those that kept coming home from war obviously were doing something right, their peers notice this and asked to be instructed in their style of war(martial) arts. You honor your teacher, thus lineage. Atleast this is my take on it based on common sense...
To say that the great focus and concentration, and superb discipline is something that the U.S. lacks may be true, however you are comparing a culture to a temple of Shaolin monks. There is no culture in the world that is as disciplined as Shaolin monks, including China. These are not just some guys. This is a temple of worshipers that dedicate themselves their entire lives to Buddhism and the mastery of Shaolin Kung Fu. These people do things that most of the world would describe as magic.
esta "dança" chama-se forma e serve para melhorar o controlo no equilibrio, aumentar a força, melhorar os ataques e defesas, assim como ajudar a descobrir novas formas nessa "dança" o mma nao sei o que aquilo prova, é apenas entertenimento para mentes que nao percebem o que uma arte marcial pretende ensinar. portanto depende do praticante da arte, dominar a arte e a si mesmo.
You do not pray in a demonstration of shaolin kung fu the only thing you do that may look like it is bowing either to your opponent,teacher or just to the audience
este tipo de luta é capaz de arrancar bocados de carne do teu corpo com os dedos, por favor nao julgues uma arte pelas aparencias, primeiro practica depois fala.
Yeah, keep in mind, the staffs they are hitting on the ground from a leaping attack, are the same ones that they are BREAKING IN HALF over this guys body.
What I find that's really great about China is that they keep the old chinese kung fu traditions. If I'm not mistaken, most of China used to be made up of kung fu schools. Jackie Chan came from a pure kung fu school.

Traditional Chinese Kung Fu, Wushu, and whatever else, Shaolin is still by far the most impressive in every respect.

Incommon abilities, a life of discipline, intensive and hard training. This is the key to achieve the success.

lol ! how much martial arts do you do ? I want to do traditional kung-fu but i`m 14 and in my city there aren`t so many martial arts trainer ):

Can you tell us the name of the song played in the entire video? It's played in shaolin demonstrations.
Oh dayum!!! That looks awesome :D
alguien por favor me puede decir el nombre de la cancion que empieza 0:14 gracias
Hi , May I know the Address of this temple ? Namaste
most of the videos uploadd on youtube are not playing stably wat could be the problem?
Very nice, great focus and concentration, superb discipline required to do this, the U.S., for the most part, seriously lacks this as you can tell by some of the comments.
Thank you for your reply. Where in China? I know amazing Shaolin monks that came from China and now live in the US and do demonstrations and teach, that is why I asked.
Incredible what results from a life dedicated to the study of martial arts
Cet art macial est extraordinaire .
What's the name of the first theme song?
yes this video was shot at the shaolin temple. august 2011.
I'm planning on studying Shaolin and Muay Thai to combine it with other arts I know into my own art form. I'm thinking I'll combine the viciousness of Muay Thai with the speed, technique, precision, flexibility and strength of Shaolin and Karate, with the arm bars and wrist locks of Aikido and the throws and pins of Judo and the groundwork of Jujitsu, into one bad ass martial art form. Plus, power enhancement through Qi Gong.
I would love to learn this from a shaolin monk.
How do you get to that kind of flexibility level?
That's awesome! Does anyone know the name of the song playing?
Shaolin Kung Fu Demonstration
Cet art macial est extraordinaire

You think your wu-tang sword can defeat me?
awsome

Good stretching Form!
非常好！我尊重他们！

This kid is Flexable
It is a realy good
10:15 did he
just
break a metal bar
between his
legs
It's a superb exercise routine, as it was originally meant to be. The problem is when people starting thinking that Chinese yoga was somehow a good way to kick everyone's ass. Not any more than power lifting, though they both have applications in the field.

I Love the music.....their music is their signature.....KUNFU is 100% chinese....lets keep it that way........

jackie chan is great. don't let it go to head, you live.
Where is the paid promotion?
Me gusto
best skills ever
é obvio que um nao practicante como voce nunca ira entender uma arte com centenas de anos que foi usada em batalhas
esta "dança" chama-se forma e serve para melhorar o controlo no equilibrio, aumentar a força, melhorar os ataques e defesas, assim como ajudar a descobrir novas formas nessa "dança"
o mma nao sei o que aquilo prova, é apenas entertenimento para mentes que nao percebem o que uma arte marcial pretende ensinar.
portanto depende do praticante da arte, dominar a arte e a si mesmo.
AH! it hurts just to watch! but wow amazing!
Wouldn't want to piss off the kid at 4:45 XD
Recuerdo cuando yo hacía todos esos movimientos que hace este monje. Después me casé y chao kung fu. Después de 25 años, me duele to'a vaina. :-D
真是大开眼睛的内功啊
WOW
Nopo orak maimn film meneh jet li
LIKED!... Simon Thompson! #RICKYJRMULTIVERSE
Hi
Yes the second half of the video is martial art but not the beginning
This makes me want to order Chinese food now
the shaolin and wu-tang could be dangerous
eccezionali
This "dancing" is showing off he's form and flexibility. Watch 1:02.
massa o video :D
To clear up this video was shot at the Shaolin Temple, Dengfeng, Henan Province. China. The real McCoy.
Is it me or does the crowd not sound to pleased with the proformence? Come on people these guys are great clap louder dammit!!!
jet lee, jet li,bruce lee all of them , jackie chan.
Remember to pray.
You do not pray in a demonstration of shaolin kung fu the only thing you do that may look like it is bowing either to your opponent,teacher or just to the audience
These guys are fucking ninjas
did you know that kung fu actually started in southern india just just google this guy bodhidharma.
Nice*
You're gonna study Shaolin Kung Fu by a grandmaster? LUCKY!!! I'm so jealous!
I hope he teaches you well and not just about fighting. (=
gotta make money
este tipo de luta é capaz de arrancar bocados de carne do teu corpo com os dedos, por favor nao julgues uma arte pelas aparencias, primeiro practica depois fala.
so sad how the monks were so secluded and their own, now they are reduced to doing shows.
Yeah... I'm jealous...
1:07 is incredibly difficult
Yeah, keep in mind, the staffs they are hitting on the ground from a leaping attack, are the same ones that they are BREAKING IN HALF over this guys body.
What I find that's really great about China is that they keep the old chinese kung fu traditions. If I'm not mistaken, most of China used to be made up of kung fu schools.
Jackie Chan came from a pure kung fu school.
ไปดูที่เส้าหลินแล้วถ่ายมามีแสดงให้ชมทุกวัน กี่รอบไม่รู้ บัตรราว ๑๕๐ มั้ง คนเต็มทุกรอบ
this is more like ashtanga yoga to me than martial art......
