  • Do you dream of training with the Shaolin Monks in China? A lot of people do and its hard to figure out whats possible and whats not. I spend three years at the Shaolin Temple, so I thought i could make a brief video about what you should expect and how you should prepare. Enjoy!

    This is an absolute valuable and highly informative video.
    This is a potent wake up call for me and I am extremely grateful for it.
    I am ashamed and embarrassed of myself however. Turns out, I wanted the movie script version of being with the Temple simply because I never asked questions. I never made an effort to learn.
    I must be honest. I think I am one of the people you mentioned. I pictured peace, harmony, and beautiful martial arts.
    I am so sorry for my ignorance.
    While I still desire peace and calm, I now know my place without a doubt. My place is not with those men. What I have yet to learn probably wouldn't qualify me to deliver goods, much less get to know any of the good people there.
    Wishing the good people everywhere the best in life. And may you have good fortune in return for posting this video.

      @@georgefreemon2935 Good point. Though I'm not an English native, I'd still say that it's necessary to fully connect to US culture. Besides that the US was formed by many different cultures and English as their way to communicate.
      Japan on the other hand is almost purely Japanese. So in order to connect with Japanese people, you'd have to approach them in their own language.

      Why would you learn dialect as a foreigner haha, that sounds like a circumstance you would only end up in if you live in some incredibly rural area where people can't speak Mandarin. I think even the oldest people I've met even in Zhejiang spoke fluent Mandarin, though it doesn't matter because they still have the "you're foreign, you don't speak Chinese" ignore you to your face mentality haha, I'm not sure even knowing Hakka would help with that 🤔
      I do remember visiting incredibly rural locations in Hunan and everyone speaking a dialect I had never heard of, with apparently no Mandarin, but I don't know any foreigners living there.

    Great suggestions! A lot of people don’t realize the warrior monk/full monk difference, and that the fully ordained monks stay well clear of the crowds of tourists. As you say, this is their way of life, not something for the casual visitor to join in just for the novelty. If people want a Buddhist experience, there are meditation and sutra recital programs at other sacred Buddhist sites like Wutai Shan or Emei Shan, where for a donation you can spend a few days living in the temple as a lay disciple.

    This video was very much needed haha I was one of those naive westerners that thought it's easy peasy to get into the Shaolin temple but after watching your story video I realized what exactly that entails. And now this video provides even more clarity to people so thank from me personally Ranton!
    Idea for the next video: Shaolin monks that emigrated from China and now teach kung fu in other countries - yay or nay? :D

    About the meditation part. I imagine you also had to hold stances for a longer time as part of your basic training back in the day. In southern Shaolin styles that's usually considered as meditaion which besides helping to clear your mind on a daily basis actually aims to teach you how to ignore pain as long as possible while training which usually kicks in way too early in comparison to what the body actually can handle.
    What are your thoughts on that matter?
