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.
@@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".
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
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
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?
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.
@@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!
@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
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.
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.
@@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.
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
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.

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
Kung founder from etnic tamilzhan from tamil nadu india. He is name bodhidarman. Chinnese call he name damo. Proud to be tamilzhan. ruclips.net/video/Fh8g3iprhFk/видео.html
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.
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's definitely not the most effective fighting discipline. But mostly a way of life snd some of the hardest greatest human beings I've met have followed this path. Much love 🖤
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.
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.
I visited the temple in 2017 with my wife. I Had the honor of having prayer beads blessed by the head monk in their private prayer room. He had me pray with him while he performed the blessing.
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)
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!!
thank you cgtn... global youths should know other methods of enlightenment to the pure mind... thank you cgtn and participant for a moment of pure mind...
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
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, Its close to nature peace, Found very informative video want to see more videos like these ❤❤
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.
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.
My dad used to read me the story at the beginning, however it was a bit different and it went something like this: Once upon a time In a temple deep in the mountains An eminent monk had a story to tell... Once upon a time In a temple deep in the mountains An eminent monk had a story to tell...
How're people gonna comment shaolin monks got no fight science when they literally spar @ 36:30 + and practice kickboxing + shadowboxing? The point of Kung Fu is to keep an open mind and evolve through losing until you win. If Kung Fu isn't effective, then it isn't Kung Fu. Taolu is not the end all be all of kung fu; it is the sanda and the training we go through in order to train how to fight. Literally use your brains people.
Spar? it was choreographic. In the end kung fu is for the movies or for the mysticism, not for mma or something. Maybe some true warriors can use sanda or wushu in real fight, but is not for everyone
@@NazguL2 with this kind of practise and conditioning which the monk is doing here can beat anyone except pro boxers, pro wrestlers , muay thai fighters and mma fighters..
"in a real fight.." aah, americans.. good dog. like in a ring, where you see it, when you definately know, it is a real fight. its in a ring, that is like a certificate of authenticity. keep watching that shit you know already holmes. one fun thing with americans is switch if its real or not and watch their eyes blur. no authorisation.. oh wait problem solving is used to address conflict. "fight" is for your trained doggy who you don't want doing any messy thinking of "is this fight or not". you train for fight not problem solve, maybe you get extra bone in you dish tonight honey butt.
@@Insularish i agree, combat sports impose the condition of trading blows. i see them more as a socio-psychological device, eg. 'boxing' puts ideas in a box about what an altercation is and how to resolve it. western thought is founded in certainty, knowledge, referential authority. my experience of eastern thought, in the four chinese classics, buddhism and jainism, seems more founded in consideration. there is no overlap. where there is certainty, consideration is absent. i find one of these modes to be more functional than the other, personally and socially ;) there are so many things in life to do apart from hit people. and so many ways to find resolution. i've always felt that, the ability to recognise this, belies a simple and fundamental superiority. often. :)
JY wong You’re both idiots. I’d rather train in trading blows than in some bullshit “Dangerous techniques” for the street. The truth is, MMA is training you to fight anywhere, Kung fu is just exercise. I do both so I should know the difference. I don’t use mystical crap in a fight, I use MMA.
waspazian Yes indeed, in the west people are more sensitive to this type of stuff and in the US race and gender is also such a big deal and something so important, I hope it doesn’t spread globally.
A splendid expose of the way of life, training & spiritual instruction which ascends unto the higher essence of physical being. Just to spend one year under these honorable men's tutelage would be a gift from the divine powers above. The only problem for me if I was fortunate for such an opportunity would be the prospects of having to leave. God Bless Shaolin.
Anyone know where they located exactly there different places that claim shaolin temple and stuff and how much of the fee to join I'm really interested in training with them.
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.
This documentary show is more for promoting China Oriental soft power than the real Shaolin kungfu. Those old Shaolin monk shows i watch before, they are truly amazing. Like standing on one or two fingers called 一指禅, where their index finger can penetrate wood.

I’ve been fascinated by the Shoalin ever since the tv show I watched as a young boy. Very good documentary.
Yeah, respected, I just loaded a more shocking Shaolin Monk's video on my RUclips channel, maybe you can get interested.
I Love chinese kung fu.

"A true master can subdue an opponent without a fight." #FACTS
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.

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.
I love Kung fu. l have learned wushu for 1month. I hope I can learn wushu again soon.
Hi! Love this, do you know where to practice Kung Fu in a shaolin temple for a few months/years?
I Love Shaolin Martial art.

Good
watching this after 5 years that's a very good sign
Great documentary ❤️
It's definitely not the most effective fighting discipline. But mostly a way of life snd some of the hardest greatest human beings I've met have followed this path. Much love 🖤
excellent documentary..nice videography
Спасибо большое мне нравится Ваша подготовка воинов.
I am watching this to prepare for my brown belt test in karate I want to carry these principles into my martial arts training

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.
Muchas Gracias por compartir este material, Saludos desde Chile.
pure mind is the peace that human souls are wanting to have...
detached mind
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.

Amazing lifestyle. Honor!!! And respect!!!
I visited the temple in 2017 with my wife. I Had the honor of having prayer beads blessed by the head monk in their private prayer room. He had me pray with him while he performed the blessing.
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)
Yeah, respected, I just loaded a more shocking Shaolin Monk's video on my RUclips channel, maybe you can get interested.
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!!
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
Excellent indeed and very spiritual
it's really powerful and i love it
thank you cgtn... global youths should know other methods of enlightenment to the pure mind... thank you cgtn and participant for a moment of pure mind...
Beautiful. Thank you for this video.
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 can't imagine WHAT LEVEL OF CONCENTRATION AND FOCUS THEY HAVE
This is the one and only dream of a kung fu artist
Shaolin Kung Fu is just so beautifuuuulllll!
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,
Its close to nature peace,
Found very informative video want to see more videos like these ❤❤
A masterpiece 🎯
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.
Fantastic and thank you.✌️❤️
Great, nice see Shifu yanzi here! he is a fight Shaolin Monk!
Thank you CGTN for posting such instructive material videos for free.
Classic, unbelievable
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.
My dad used to read me the story at the beginning, however it was a bit different and it went something like this:
Once upon a time
In a temple deep in the mountains
An eminent monk had a story to tell...

Me too
Thank you for the show!!! Namaste

Good documentary
Cant deny i luv kung fu forever.
Excellent documentary ✊ ty for the upload.
How're people gonna comment shaolin monks got no fight science when they literally spar @ 36:30 + and practice kickboxing + shadowboxing? The point of Kung Fu is to keep an open mind and evolve through losing until you win. If Kung Fu isn't effective, then it isn't Kung Fu. Taolu is not the end all be all of kung fu; it is the sanda and the training we go through in order to train how to fight. Literally use your brains people.
Spar? it was choreographic. In the end kung fu is for the movies or for the mysticism, not for mma or something. Maybe some true warriors can use sanda or wushu in real fight, but is not for everyone
@@NazguL2 with this kind of practise and conditioning which the monk is doing here can beat anyone except pro boxers, pro wrestlers , muay thai fighters and mma fighters..
"in a real fight.." aah, americans.. good dog. like in a ring, where you see it, when you definately know, it is a real fight. its in a ring, that is like a certificate of authenticity. keep watching that shit you know already holmes.
one fun thing with americans is switch if its real or not and watch their eyes blur. no authorisation.. oh wait
problem solving is used to address conflict. "fight" is for your trained doggy who you don't want doing any messy thinking of "is this fight or not". you train for fight not problem solve, maybe you get extra bone in you dish tonight honey butt.
@@Insularish i agree, combat sports impose the condition of trading blows. i see them more as a socio-psychological device, eg. 'boxing' puts ideas in a box about what an altercation is and how to resolve it.
western thought is founded in certainty, knowledge, referential authority. my experience of eastern thought, in the four chinese classics, buddhism and jainism, seems more founded in consideration. there is no overlap. where there is certainty, consideration is absent. i find one of these modes to be more functional than the other, personally and socially ;)
there are so many things in life to do apart from hit people. and so many ways to find resolution. i've always felt that, the ability to recognise this, belies a simple and fundamental superiority. often. :)
JY wong
You’re both idiots. I’d rather train in trading blows than in some bullshit “Dangerous techniques” for the street. The truth is, MMA is training you to fight anywhere, Kung fu is just exercise. I do both so I should know the difference. I don’t use mystical crap in a fight, I use MMA.
Humble Warrior and philosopher all in one , the small guy you don't want mess with
If I have another life I want to live as a Shaolin monk & learn the ways...
They are the best in the world! Greetings from Bulgaria,Monks of Shaolin Tapmle :)
29:30 just imagine this happen in Canada or U.S.the coach would ve been fired within minutes plus possible and likely criminal charges
He tool it easy because it was a kid. The adults get the stick (seriously)
My masters also say don't straighten the arm, don't give it to your opponent.
That's just army training fork ids
waspazian Yes indeed, in the west people are more sensitive to this type of stuff and in the US race and gender is also such a big deal and something so important, I hope it doesn’t spread globally.
That's why kids in the US and Canada disrespects their Parents and Teachers
I am part chinese and very proud of it.
I saw Sifu Yanzi perform at SENI in 2014, very cool to him and Sifu Yan Lei in this well-made documentary :).
A splendid expose of the way of life, training & spiritual instruction which ascends unto the higher essence of physical being. Just to spend one year under these honorable men's tutelage would be a gift from the divine powers above. The only problem for me if I was fortunate for such an opportunity would be the prospects of having to leave. God Bless Shaolin.
36:20 Well, the choreography is far better than in Last Jedi.
Yeah, that was pretty lame. I wish they would get rid of the acting.
Anyone know where they located exactly there different places that claim shaolin temple and stuff and how much of the fee to join I'm really interested in training with them.
You dead bro. How did you come back to life you martial arts master?
come China and contact me bro
beautiful culture
Respect understand while roaring like lions. What a combination of strong ethics to pass down🔱💞
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.
Just excellent
This documentary show is more for promoting China Oriental soft power than the real Shaolin kungfu. Those old Shaolin monk shows i watch before, they are truly amazing. Like standing on one or two fingers called 一指禅, where their index finger can penetrate wood.
11:06 someday he feel depressed,then he find out he cant even get dead by that. incredible.
