Kung Fu

[TheLibertard]

Muay Thai SUCK, Shaolin CUM

[asc3asc]

stupid music, the commentary would've been more relevant to hear

[zelda1ftw1imo]

go power rangers!but seriously they really are super human.

[Osirisrules]

Does 1:48 remind

[naturalbiker]

The song and the video are awesome these shaolin monks are extremely dedicated to the martial arts.

[Osirisrules]

Does 1:39 to 1:51 remind anyone of Muay Thai?

[naturalbiker]

muay thai is a very effective marital art system, and very respected by other artist, I have practice muay thai for a while and enjoy learning it, however I have been practicing shaolin five animal form for a long time in order to perfect myself and my art.

[TibxB0i]

naturalbiker, we don't care about you and you're skills about showing off, one thing in life is to know you're doing good but always know you can do better, not brag

[MechPhantom]

@naturalbiker is animal style good for street fighting or more for show from your experience? thx

[vorpal12351]

watch out, those shaloin monks might intimidate you into submission

[TibxB0i]

prolly cuz ur fat and lazy and dont have skills in any sports or martial arts

[preda100]

dom if you dont have a gun you death this is nature power

[Rl831]

richard you pussy. Any one can use a gun.

[lilianjie026]

it's fantastic !;)

[badgerrep]

Can people please stop using the god awful song for Kung Fu video's it's make's me want to stop watching the interesting video's.

[vonali5206]

that is great.

ben turkiye'den okay herkese selam.

[X3cut4]

omg sooo jealous :X

[slizzler1]

Great video. It's interesting to see the dimwit comments from those who don't see what 'kung fu' really means from this clip.

[lilwh1t3b0y]

oh stfu punk :P damn leave the asians alone! :|

[slizzler1]

just read your lame reply to me-a year ago- why do you say I'm picking on Asians you moron. I said kung fu doesn't mean fighting-it means hard work at something, you dumbass.

[lilwh1t3b0y]

silly asian poeple :)

[532131]

are this people really are dedicated into this all they have to do all they long is to practice this? no school? what are the advantages of doing this?

[ThunderHead1]

what are the advantages of going to school?...

[532131]

education that will make you to build a better society

[ThunderHead1]

right...for how many ages schools exist? for centuries, and did it make society any better? well, you answer me that one

[532131]

yes our life span dramatically increase because as we learn from school(medicine,etc) we are getting advance

[ThunderHead1]

hm, yes well you got a point there, but school doesn't teach people how to be good citizens, I mean, nobody respects each other, if you know what I mean

[532131]

Man! I sure wish if there's a war nations should only use this skillz rather than those fuckin nuclear bomb or somethng.Yeah getting the civilization advance had also some bad side effects

[ThunderHead1]

dude your problem is seeing school as the supreme form of education when in fact it teaches little or nothing about how we should respect each other, forgive each other, form up our own principles, I mean, school only helps you with the logic side, never with the human side

[burgosma]

Why that music?? It´s horrible

[llamatronic]

Pretty cool video, what's with putting that lame song over it?

[powerbookg]

This video would be so much better WITHOUT the song! It's so distracting and you can't even hear the speaker (not to mention the song went out a decade ago). STILL A GOOD VIDEO!

[kilik06]

at 2:24, i wonder how many new students have died trying that...

[Memberofdoom]

Punching a wall for two hours straight... That's some dedication right there.

[aliashenke]

The text sais that a normal man climbs the mountain in 1.5 h. Theise boys has to do it running and under 20 min. Then crawl back down. Awesome.

[kenshin3002]

music is horrible

[TefRimac]

Nuna, I so feel you on that point. This song was clever the first few times i heard it with a martial arts movie, but it got really old. If you want a good martial arts sounding track, download "Tried by 12 - instrumental" It's all raw.

[WorldWarCheese]

While most of Shaolin is money making, governmentally controlled, showy wushu propaganda (I've been there) notice they DID do San Shau!!! WOOHOO!!! It's a great and supremely effective martial art made by the Army after watching effective styles like Shuai Jiao in Lei Tai fights actross China. Wanna see HOW effective? Just watch any of Cung Le's fights.

[nunawoofwoof]

I just want to add...the last thing I want my man is to do martial arts in this music...this music sounds sooo gay to me. It's cute but not hot. Use some hard pounding beats, please~!!!

[nunawoofwoof]

Yes i agree, this music is annoying and corney

[krinorik]

I swear, why does everyone use this F'in song. Just stop. Damn. K

[LLPorduction]

Just telling... the term "Kung Fu" Isnt a style of fighting, It just represent the amount of work uve given Into ur Art. So having a lot of kung fu means having a lot of work and working hard to perfection. Go to An asian martial art school tell them u Do Kung Fu... they'll laugh at u. Tell them u need to train ur kung fu they understand ^^ just telling that bcuse the werstern culture realy mess the meaning up.

[Sokaku]

Who cares? I'll answer that for you. Noone.

[aznqt2]

i think the song is so appropriate for the video.

[makonikname]

whats the name of the song? :p

[magicalpoop]

People fail to realize Shaolin Monks simply use/invented Kung fu to stay fit , Considering they live in the god damn mountains it'd make sense?

[theshadowboy607]

that's a cool video

[hockeyhazard]

halo is cool shut the fuck up

[Turkbot506]

dude sweet

[marines13r]

i saw this vid from my master when i was a white belt but it did not have to music and it was the real vid

[pun15h3r53119]

This is a very cool video, but i highly suggest the removal of the FUCKING MUSIC

[whitefire64]

i agree

[Bobban]

Lucky me, I can read swedish =) cool vid!

[bdelume]

holy shit that was cool

[s7934777]

Ver nice video!

[DeathmenRa]

lol don't mess with the monks or this might happen to you

(person)hey baldy why you got that stupid ass costum on it ain't hallween yet!

(monk)*rips his ass out of his mouth*

[Sokaku]

(person)Shit why did you rip your own ass out of your mouth?

[ATspitfire]

The footage was awesome!! I just find the choice of music rather distasteful. Minus music, amazing video.

[Idonthinkso7331]

The effectiveness of Kung fu depends on the skillz of the practitioner. Wing tsun is a effective style. But i`ll pick MMA in a streetfight anyday.

[Pure80]

I don't get the footwork of the Shaolin

[Coldshadow26]

these dudes are noobs XD jake chain would wope their ass's XD ! i would -.-

[MrL666]

Dude

Jakie Chain is a noob compaired to people like Jet Li and Tony Jaa. And anyways nobody said that these guys where better than anyone else, so theres no reason to call them noobs cause they pratice but wont fight anywayso ofcourse anyone can beet them.

[Coldshadow26]

=l right... Dude Com Down Lol..

[shlumy]

i went to c them once it was really cool =)

[imohammed2]

whats with the damn music, i wanted to hear what the narrator was saying

[CelticLove]

I'm gonna defently take a look to see if I can find it to see the whole thing. Those monks pwn anyone easy.

It'll be so much fun to see how I fair aginst one, and I'm not saying full force but they come up with a fighting test to see how I'll do. Ya know?

[shoulung]

wow i liked that guys beard

[Vorlust]

Man, I wanted the music to be quiet. I couldn't hear what the guy was saying throughout the whole thing, except the end.

Good video still.

[TheProducer01]

awsom but the music ruins it

[MRpeanut222]

oh man, i can't believe hard body training like that is still around. Awesome stuff (kinda makes me wish I was asian..white guys look like they're on P in a monk robe. it's a shame really).

Yay monks!

[Bellnog]

Ive been there ive seen them, there fit and decently strong, but belive me anyone over the age of 16 could cut a chinese brick with there bare hand as they are not made to a high standard. As for there fighting skills some are good kickboxers but some just concentrate on forms and acrobatics to impress westeners.

[flipyflaps]

okay man. this isnt just some lame ass , cookie cutter martial art, this is a style that has been in effect and proven to be effective for well over a millenium. you cannot even begin to compare it to kickboxing or acrobatics, this isnt a fucking show, its their way of life. if youd actually been there, you would know that. get raped.

[DirectingDreams]

LOL I can't believe you're arguing with people who posted more than a month ago.

[flipyflaps]

i no, i got no fuckin life.

[falconx1]

Now...does anyone wanna fight the Monks!

[zeedudeguy]

if i had a reason

[flipyflaps]

you would be destroyed.

[mishael003]

I agree with most of the posts here. Its better without the stupid song, and I have the documentary. Go and get it from Netflix.

[Retsuzen]

The training is the Sholin Monks of China and Tibet, and this is real training in the vid, yea the music says 2 things 1- your gay and 2- your sterotyping, that song was created as an insult years ago.

[Notgarrynewman]

DAMN!

[seancoppinger]

lose the theme tune its irritating

[Sotar]

those people are hard core!

[johntxo]

great video, nice music

[lmn604]

why do they have to use this song?!!? soooo STEROTYPED!!!

PEOPLE!!

i'm glad those people are there to carry out the traditions... caz u noe thts alll they do... i mean be greatfull!!

[Eryin]

i went to shaolin and trained in martial arts for 2 months.

most life changing experiance ever.

yeah i did alot of in te video. i got pics from my disposable camera. lol, didn't have digital back then.

[aussyt]

I have this whole video.

[DombaTwo]

It's stupid to assume that grappling is completely neglected by these monks. Most TRADITIONAL striking arts (karate, shaolin "kung fu", etc) have a TON of grappling stuff. A TON!

You just have to know what to look at.

[ichibanniko]

they also include grappling.

[Spartan400]

this video is on you tube without the gay music

[Tris10]

link pleasE?

[SYLVIOCAVALCANTI]

what country is that

[SlipKnoTkidd333]

Move to Ajax canada, got to the Iron Dragon..they have sparring with weapons over here, and butterfly knives :D

[rogelioonce]

shaoling monks are way different.. these guys dont usually fight in karate competitions. they stay in their temple. They are great martial artists but they need to show it to the world...

you can tell by the endurance that they have.

[A4k2i0]

Just buy a gun and you'll be fine.

[rrogerthat]

With a gun there's a chance you'll go to jail for murder. With kung-fu it's nothing. It's a way of exercise and feeling of free-spirit, anyways.

[flipyflaps]

in the time it takes for you to pull that gun out and have an acurate shot, your arm would be shattered if you were up against someone actually worth pulling it out on.

[A4k2i0]

Yeah okay buddy!, that would be the case if you were pulling a gun on Neo.

[flipyflaps]

wow, nice one dick fuck, i take dragon kung fu and know how to do that, now these guys, cmon, it'd be fuckin easy for em.

[A4k2i0]

dragon kung fu. oh please, ... hey, can you fly? i can.

[flipyflaps]

wow, good one, dick weed, "uhh, can you fly" go play halo you fuckin nerd. i cannot believe you man, you cannot confront me if you dont know jack shit about martial arts you faggot. go play checkers in traffic.

[A4k2i0]

I love you swear words: "dick fuck", "dick weed", got more?

[flipyflaps]

lol, i gotta bunch of fucked up insults

[petraky]

this is good wats the music called?

[deadlines]

WHY?! why the music??

[bn137]

this would be cool without the music

[pureghetto]

the music just ruins it but I can't stop laughing

[Tokanawa]

Shaolin Kung Fu spawned all other forms of Asian fighting, karate, muay thai, tae kwon do, etc. It's influence stretches to every corner of the world.

[drdankness]

one solid strike, you're knocked out... the only ground work is when your ass gets dragged away by your buddies to the local ER. if you dont have solid strikes (i'm talking a fight ending one time shot) then you best be solid on the ground. even so, all fighters need to know how to grapple.

[PnoyDude]

you may think you can take on the world with submission moves, but I can't imagine the Army or Marines teaching all their soldiers BJJ to fend off terrorists; it's not good for fighting multiple enemies.

[ThaPanda]

The Marines martial arts is almost primarily submission. Look it up on Youtube and see for yourself.

[sargenateg]

thats not true. I served 6 years in the corps and now in the army. the marines developed a new martial arts program a few years ago. its a complete system. strikes, grappling, submission, weapons , pressure points everything....not just some form of bjj.

[sargenateg]

further more, the first phase of the training was almost all strikes(boxing and kicks) and body hardening. and a few judo throws. maybe the vid you saw just showed the grapplin portion. but thats not all by far.

[youaretheyone]

wats wit the random boxing trick and if it is the monks just goes to shot that balancing plates doing flips and throwing weapons round do fuck all for you in a fight :D

[philclarkedude]

man... i cant wait to go to china!!

[daredevil501]

is it me or did i just see asama binladen in the first few seconds u know the dude with the flames coming up to cover his face...??

[kev2244]

hahahah did u see the website on the top rite corner, abum.com lol

[anon69]

The interesting part to me was the live sparring session. I wonder if those were the real monks or just some random Sanshou fighters pasted into the video.

[Spykachu78]

Ok I have to say that halfmount is right grappeling ia important as well as stand up fighting I myself use a mix of Sipalki Do,Muay Thai and Jujitsu for ground fighting.

[drayconn]

Congrats, you want a cookie? Maybe youd just like to be recognized as a wannabe Martial Artist.

[halfmount]

I don't wanna cookie, I wanna prove it. tell me drayconn... do you wanna fight? I won't me dirty. we'll record it and put ir right here on youtube... pm me if your interested.

[PropagandaStudios]

So youtube has ceased to become a video host and is now a boxing ring? lol, jk

[halfmount]

I'm not ignorant, I understand vaguely your point. but saying that grappling is not needed because you can strike is like saying you don't need punches if your good at kicking. my rant isn't with the philosophy of these people, it is completly with the fighting aspect of the art.

[Rl831]

turn the music off, i wanna hear the guy talk.

[DRaelrich]

...interesting choice of background music. Nice to find a real expert video.

[badfun69]

The fighter who isnt prepared will not prevail,learn to grap and some genral ground tech.Not learing this will give you a weekness a good fighter takes advatage of weakness.

[skitzandgiggles]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aah..................

[getbuttkik]

ok wtf with the music man

[halfmount]

thinking that strikes alone will save you is pure idiocy. most of this type of thinking comes from the traditional martial artists that have never practiced ground fighting.

to the idiot who said "fuck ugly ass grappling", grappling may look ugly, hell I even think it looks pretty gay, but you do what it takes to win the fight and come out alive.

[cubgrumpz]

Mwahaha so i take it you lot dont have multi opponents or dont know the importance of staying on your feet in a fight? What do you think people done before the gracies? Think you lot just have a fetish of touching other men always cuddling and rolling around :s

[halfmount]

you can't be serious. ofcourse staying on your feet is key, but as i said before, to be a complete martial artist, you must know all aspects of the fight.

[cubgrumpz]

So you are in a habit of trying to put a kamora or to get past someone's guard and get into a full mount to ground and pound or apply a gullotine in an alley or toilet or in a packed out club?

[halfmount]

no, common sense will tell you not to do that. but my point of emphasis is that going to the ground is a BIG aspect of fighting. if you can't accept that, then that is your problem.

[Rl831]

halfmount, you are ignorant. Shaolin monks do not just train to fight, it is a way of life, it is discipline. Grappling is key in a fight but when you know to avoid a fight or end a fight quickly, then grappling is of no use.

[halfmount]

in retrospect, not learning how to groundfight is like the best sailor in the world not knowing how to swim. he may be fantastic at sailing, he may never have to touch seawater in all his life, but a true sailor must be prepared.

[drayconn]

Yes but which is more important for crossing the ocean, Boating or swimming?

[PropagandaStudios]

That's a perfect analogy

[Alphamale69]

ground techniques are very important.  i don't care how good you think you are, if you fight enough, you will eventually end up in a non upright position. you should be prepared for ANY situation!

[MasuraoX1]

man FUCK THE UGLY ASS GRAPPLING!!! If you learn the full potential of strikes then no one can take you down!

[YoungJin777]

...wat style of kung fu iz this???12 lagging kicks???.......

[larjerichshen2]

who dissin the music style of carl douglas id like to have you know carl is the greatest singer songwriter in the world he invented hiphop yes even rap and also wrote the ninja turtle rap fo vanilla ice foo

[halfmount]

bottom line. if you don't practice ground fighting, you are not a complete martial artist.

[scorching71]

half mount, where did that come from? lol, and they do practice ground fighting, just not to a huge extent... anyways, id like to see someone take them to the ground.

[Enlisted3435]

No kidding there, man. About 90-80% of fights end up in grappling.

[drayconn]

Actually, 90% of sport fights end up in grappling.  Real fights hardly ever end up with gay men hugging each other and "grappling" on the ground

[anon69]

If you don't understand the ground game, then by definition you don't understand a major part of fighting. Fighters who talk about grappling being "gay" are usually the ones becoming someone's bitch in their mount. Feel free to limit yourself, but don't preach it to others.

[defmenace]

fights I've seen usually end up with one person on the ground having their heads kicked in.

[cfG21]

do you honestly think kung fu doesn't have gournd fighting? ever heard of dog boxing? grand earth style?monkey? ground mantis?

[PropagandaStudios]

too true

[sascorp]

yeah, i wanna see it too!

[civicSI89]

where can i find this documentary?

[aznricecannon]

can't fake most of this

[Dmasterman]

Great Documentary. The power of Kung Fu

[tabbycatcat]

looks like a good documentary, too bad the music ruined it.

[shenzhen20]

Kung fu is EXTREMELY effective. but is still a secret martial art. no one know well what is the limit of a chinese because they never show it on Sportive fights, because, it could be really Mortal!

[dragongirlforever]

damn...punch the wall for...2 hours O.O

[ss3warrior]

these guys train for life at martial arts, they can't be beaten!

[evelynlo96]

after all those "ammature fight videos", I believe all of them can get their ass kicked by the Shaolin monks. LOL.

[boro2sick]

wild ish...

[smishkun]

the best

[cvsg]

real kung fu

[ladyunforgetable]

wow soo cool lol shaolin monks are the BEST!!
