I'm actually very interested in doing that three day training, I feel like it'd be a nice way to both challenge yourself, meet some people, and see the Japanese wilderness all at the same time.
I visited Mount Haguro and Mount Yudono while visiting Japan last summer (Mount Gassan was closed because of weather). It was a great experience, and very beautiful. Hiking up mount Haguro felt very special.
People do understand Shaolin monks and Shaolin WARRIOR monks are very different sects right? Spiritualist Shaolin monks are quite similar to the Yamabushi in their focus on enlightenment, though while Shaolin is a Buddhist following, the Yamabushi can differ and take parts from Buddhist, Taoist and Shinto ideology, blending them together or individually. Also, Shaolin warrior monks are not focused on studying spiritualism, but mostly martial arts, physical conditioning and such, they are also permitted to eat meat unlike their fellow order counterparts, should they feel the need to. And in the past, Yamabushi were no joke, and plenty of history shows that they fought beside samurai and against them to an impressive standard. While martial arts are used to develop ones mentality, body and perception, it's also just not necessary in a modern day and age, though I'd be willing to bet more then a handful of them practice forms of martial arts in their spare time in service of this. In the end, Shaolin warrior monks are better related to Sohei, true warrior monks who were frankly, at least during the Sengoku Jidai, a pain in the arse for Oda Nobunaga, and pretty much halted his domination of Japan for a good few years singlehandedly. (Look up Ikko-Iki) Also, in the end what's more important, bragging rights over who's "tougher", or just walking your own path to enlightenment and living in service of something greater then your own ego or accomplishments?
I actually jumped off a fire when I was younger ,my grandparents had a big amount of land surrounding their house and in the land there was a big stack of bricks where I used to play then one day my dad decided to burn the dry grass surrounding the bricks where I was I didn't know what to do if I screamed for help I would get in trouble for playing there so I jumped over the fire ,It was really hard even though the fire was small.
Solid Orphan they are hiking with thin slippers for hours that’s not considered as a small feat plus they are not allowed to sleep after their hike the story teller said they have to focus on one point for hours while forcing themselves not to fall asleep
Bet you cant make it to the top of the mountain with those slippers and non stop walking with no sleep go try it for yourself and come back here to the comment section
yeah go hike mountains all day non stop and sit under freezing cold water splashing on your head, also you missed the other half of the video where they're meditating, visiting mountain shrines and performing other religious rituals, its 80% mental toughness, 20% physical toughness, just because the title mislead you doesnt mean you should insult them, its the youtube channel saying they're the toughest anyways not the actual monks themselves
KÁK they’ve been hiking the mountain,forced themselves not to sleep,had a bath under the waterfall.and then jump over a fire.Now why don’t you go to Japan,do these things yourselves then come back and then you can talk shits about them.
I already jumped through a bonfire bigger than that It' a tradiction from my family in celebrations during july 5 to 21 It's a big one (if you hit the wood, you will fall in the fire and get hurt, but the fun is there)
Here's something interesting that perhaps some people won't notice - you don't see at almost any point the monk talking about religion, flexing terms like spirituality, quoting the supernatural, using new age terms, being sectarian and stuff like that. Great Big Story description even used the term "spiritual enlightenment" there, but you kinda notice how the monk is sticking to a description of the experience without appealing much for the mystical or belief based stuff. That's because even though terms like monks and whatnot are still used there, it has become more about tradition and culture, and less about religion. Yamabushi (yama coming from mountain, and bushi coming from warrior) used to be linked with mysticism of ascetic monks living in isolation in japanese mountains, which conferred some sort of supernatural powers in the far past. It had links to a religion that combined parts of Buddhism, Taoism and Shinto. But like many rituals of modern Japan, it lost it's mystical religious nature and turned more into traditional and cultural practices overtime. Which is why this practice that was once limited strictly to religious practitioners is nowadays open to everyone who wants to participate, including tourists and foreigners. It's often kinda hard to explain for tourists and foreigners how a country that preserved so many religious icons, temples, shrines, statues, rituals and whatnot can be largely non-religious these days, but cases like this one explains why. Japanese people are not very religious these days, but they can be very superstitious and respectful of tradition and culture.
then one of them has a kid that's a cliche Shonen protagonist that always gets into trouble and cant quite fit in. but a supporting mentor character that dies to save the protagonist in a huge asspull teaches them and connects with them. also the protagonist has some super cool ancient powers that no one has and he fights stuff.
This is just what Canadians do for fun. Who lives near the rockies and hasn't hiked up a mountain in inadequate footwear, got pounded by the nearest available glacial waterfall, and jumped over their campfire with the boys?
Tbh the hardest part looks like not falling asleep. The hike had man made walk ways, and rope to hold on to, More than half the people aren't even sitting under the waterfall, and the fire looked like you could walk over it
Jumping through fire
Monk : *YEET*
Shit was gonna write that comment haha
He actually said "Ei!" (えい！）

The other stages has to a secrete
Nobody:
0:06: *JUMPS OVER FIRE*, says, "YEET!"
Great Big Story really loves Japan, which I really love.
Everybody thinks they could do this but would probably get broken from the hike before they even get to try the waterfall
0:06 YEEEEEETTTTTTTT
"leaping over fire"
Monk: YEET
It didn't look tough, even when they jumped on the small camp fire.
it's more like ritual not exercise of some kind...
The fire is a religious thing not supposed to make them tough
Nobody:
Me: so.. How did that monk lady had that waterfall shower thingy with 50 other men?
reminds me of Himejima Gyomei the strongest pillar of kny
Yes.. 😂😂 kamaboko gonpachirou!!
Now imagine fire about twice as big, and you drunk as fuck. Welcome to Slovakia
Ah yes. Warrior Monks. No one messes with the Warrior Monks
Lol,that was it?! Walking for an hour or two!
Jumping over a fire and sitting under a waterfall! Lmao
Yea that's not skillful
I want to see both of you go to Japan and do these yourselves.And then you can come back and talk shits about others.
@@iqmal2952 well its still easy,i really dont need to go to japan to do it

The toughest are the ones no one has lived to tell about.
Japanese monks: level 1
Shaolin monks: power level over 9000
To think these monks were involved in war just like the Sōhei if I'm correct I guess they downgraded. Shaolin is still Legendary!
Japan has kung-fu

Looks more like a pilgrimage rather than training
Do you know how to beat a monk face to face?
Bullets
The backpacks are a nice touch to their traditional costumes. 😂😂😂
They are uniforms not costumes
Nezuko Chan she’s probably an American they don’t know shit
what kind of shoes are these
nobody:.....
not even the corona virus:....
monk: yEEt
So you go on a hike, take a shower on a waterfall and jump 40cm and you're the toughest monk ? Good God, they must be overpowered
Solid Orphan they are hiking with thin slippers for hours that’s not considered as a small feat plus they are not allowed to sleep after their hike the story teller said they have to focus on one point for hours while forcing themselves not to fall asleep

Can you do it?

Imagine doing all the walking parts but walking backwards
The thumbnail almost have the energy of that one guy screaming while holding a microphone stand/lamp with the background on fire
yamabushi: we tough
shaolin: no.
Two words: Iron egg.

Did that fucking monk say yeet while jumping over a fire. What a fucking legend.
The captions should be in yellow not white as many videos we cant read them at all
I never knew that monks wear durags
I already jumped through a bonfire bigger than that
It' a tradiction from my family in celebrations during july 5 to 21
It's a big one (if you hit the wood, you will fall in the fire and get hurt, but the fun is there)
what do they do if a rock fall down the waterfall ?
Some people: pfft I can do this
Me: Why don’t you do it for real then?
The camera man is the real yamabuchi
The monk congregation replay back
They later become the monks of the shrines in Breath of the Wild.

Every monks aim. Control of mind. And not the other way round.
Sōhei (Buddhist warrior monks) were so tough that samurai clans would send tribute to gain their support in wars
Better then school actually!
sounds like my 7th period fitness class
Are they connected to the Sohei of the feudal era?
Yamabushi literally translates to mountain warrior lol (Yama is mountain, bushi refers to martial/warrior caste)
It's 山（yama)伏(bushi=lay), not 山（yama)武士(bushi=samurai) though.
