[TR3YBUCK]

Man I wish i couldve saw Master Chen in his prime

[doggypower1]

a indian budda invented kung fu he helped all the monks when they were ill

[Taud]

@doggypower1 well, from what i read he saw they were weak of body and so he taught them exercise, which they later turned into a martial art to defend themselves

[wontonga]

Kung fu is vely vely kool!

[chrissinful]

isnt that the dude from kill bill in the beginning of this movie? :)

[Kinghercules]

It is thought that Buddha was an Kemetic (Egyptian) priest. When Cambyses invaded Kemet he had ordered all the priest killed and temples closed and this is when you see the birth of Buddism in India a few yrs after. Its not a coincidence that you see the rise of the Shoalin disciplines in India after the fall of Kemet. In the British History Museam they have a slab from ancient Kemet showing them practicing martial arts.

[Akab6]

Im curious to know where you heard this, there is a wealth of scholarly evidence pointing towards the Buddha being born in a Northerly Indian Kingdom about 550BCE which now lays in modern day Nepal.

[Kinghercules]

Thru my studies of history. I find it very unlikely tht Buddha was born in Northern India since it was occupied and controlled by the Aryans who (I might add) started the Cast system. Now the philosophy of Buddha goes against the Cast system.

I think it was Diop who came up with this idea. Like I said you can see that after the ransack of Kemet by Cambyses that the philosophy and discipline of the Kemetic priest showed up in India under Buddha.

[acidangelster]

U do know that buddha ......before he became the "enlightened one" was a part of the "kshatriya" royal family with the name "siddhartha" right? He renounced his family by choice and then unerwent a penance until he becam "enlightened"....then he preached what he learnt and that became buddhism also called "bodhidharma".......so u see.....he even renounced the cast he was a part of ,by birth.....this s what I leant at school......just sharing it with u....cheers\m/

[hunggarguy]

i agree completely. i don't agree with the guy saying Buddhas knowledge was Egyptian knowledge for Egyptian knowledge is Sumerian based which revolves around the worship of deities of the opposite polarity of Buddhas teachings.

[Drzacksmith]

"Diop" Yeah that explains a lot about your Afrocentric twaddle!!!

[anhkhoinguyen]

the buddhas clan the sakyas are aryans.............you idiot go research more about the buddhas life b4 you speak about him....and yes he was born in northern india, him being a prince of a indo-aryan kingdom by modern nepal

[anhkhoinguyen]

he was only against the caste system after becoming the buddha,the Śākyas are mentioned as a Kshatriya clan who the buddha belonged too were at the top of the caste system being only below the brahmins, the buddha being a member of the ruling Gautama in northern india was of the indoaryan people lol looks like your studies of history was BS since you dont even kno that common fact about the buddha. STOP makin up lies be proud of the only history you have, that is hunter gathering n slavery lol

[hunggarguy]

@Kinghercules im sorry but thats just not correct the Egyptian mystery schools of spirituality went to Greece and Rome. it did not mix with any eastern teachings until it was passed over into those cultures. the Indian religious Hindu Vedic, Buddhist, and Bon /Tibetian schools all evolved on their own amongst themselves.

The Buddhas teaching have some Hindu influence but basically the religion from its conception was designed to have no religious or culture ties at all. It has no dogma.

[woodwalk]

@Kinghercules The story of Budda is pretty well documented and I've never heard Egypt mentioned before in it.

[Kinghercules]

@woodwalk

Of course you never heard of it if you just searchin online. You have to be in the library....in some deep readin.

LOL!!!

History of Japan by Koempfer is one book.

[firuinthehouse]

@Kinghercules What a complete and ignorant nigger you are, it's fantastic :)

[moo3992]

@firuinthehouse He sounds about 10,000 times more educated than you...from the looks of it.

[firuinthehouse]

@moo3992 Really ? That's fascinating.

I'm thinking that you could be right, and Hercules up there is indeed more educated, although he can't spell at all.

More likely however, you too are a nigger believing much the same shit as he does, or at least feeling the need to defend your nigger brothers from whitey insults, even when they are true, and said nigger brothers are clearly not the brightest bulbs in the IQ department :)

Anyway just believe I'm an evil whitey, it's simpler like that ;)

[moo3992]

@firuinthehouse  Your probably wrong, actually you are wrong. Keep putting your ignorance on display...we all enjoy it immensely! Opinions arent always true, just alot of shit slinging from a safe distance, so you don't get hurt. Take care guy! Please don't have children, we need to move forward not back.

[firuinthehouse]

@moo3992 My negro friend, when you say things like "Your wrong" it just shows you missed the whole point about English.

See, it's You are wrong. Shortened to You're wrong. Sounds like "your wrong" but it isn't.

Now for me this stuff isn't that important, English is my second language, so I could do a nigger job of it and still feel ok. For you however, it's your first, so you might put more thought into how you use it, and if you tell me that I'm wrong, follow through with some actual details.

[moo3992]

@firuinthehouse What a stoopid nit picking ass you are. I type too fast and don't proof read idiot. (Yes, I know i spelled stupid wrong) Are you aware that there are more than two ethnicities on this planet? I am one of the other ones. It is not "shortened" it's called a contraction, dumass. Too bad your Da Da abandoned you, or should have. No one taught you any common respect. All you do is talk shit. You are wrong that i am negro, how would i provide details that prooves it? Huh?

[silversification]

@Kinghercules original! thought i heard it all!!!

[shubroto81]

@Kinghercules Actually the wu-tang clan gave rise to the chinese culture, if u look at it historically. And budhsm arose after "the gravel pit".

[SithV1]

It's such a common misconception that Kung fu started with Bodhidharma, but it's not true. Chinese Martial Arts started since the beginning of civilization. At least they acknowledged that there were other Indian monks that traveled to China. Another thing is that India did not exist until the British occupied the land. India was split into various kingdoms.

[kcpalooza]

so you think that the british were the first to occupy india?!

[SithV1]

Originally, I thought so, but the various regions of that land had been colonized by the Portuguese, Spanish, and the French. Then the British occupied part of that land and gradually occupied the remaining colonies that their rival nations held forming the Indian Union or India.

[DarranHight]

Actually I think Alexander the Great was the first to Occupy the region we now know as India. Using occupy as a Military term. I could be wrong.

[Akab6]

Alexander's occupation of India was limited in scope geographically and on a bureaucratic/military level. The first peoples to invade India were the Aryans (not the Nazi Aryan) from modern day Iran and the Asian plateau region. This is where you see the rise of the Vedic tradition and also why you see linguistic similarities between modern day Hindi and European languages because the Aryans also settled in many parts of Europe.

[anhkhoinguyen]

yup aryans as in modern day persians as there direct descendents not that nazi proproganda BS.

[hunggarguy]

@Akab6 the real reason why u see a similarity between European languages & Hindi is to to the connection of Latin which came from Greece. the Greek culture, schools of philosophy, and Greek language (Latin) where influences by India's Hindu schools IE Sanskrit language.

[Kinghercules]

Of course the Chinese had their own fighting system. Everybody did. But it was the monk from India that introduced a new kind of way of fighting to them and religion.

[UniversalTruths]

Bodhidarma did not introduce martial arts into China. He taught them to focus on meditation to bring out the internal forms such as Tai Chi and he also taught them many of the animal based forms. But Chinese martial arts had already existed before his arrival.

[shadowsteve]

thanks for uploading these videos, since thehistorychannelTv got suspended they have been hard to come accross, but its good to know other people have them :)

[doggiestyle247]

cuz of them...ppl in america in the 80s think all chinese know kung fu!

[lpbmartialartsfan]

I love it absolutely wonderful

[adidaprean]

Thanks so much for this!!!

[christwarrior56]

sweet

[sanddocon]

jon liu has 1 of the best jump said kick ever

[NTNGUYEN]

religion of kung fu? Great, another misconception. Da Mo did not pass martial arts, but a meditative exercise. It was warriors in armies, who have resided in the shaolin temple, and hence influence shaolin kung fu

[Bastion83]

true, though for some the principles of martial arts are almost their own faith.

[7Matahari7]

Religion = way of life or ritual. Even an atheist can be religious. So for many, Kung Fu is indeed a religion.

[TheTommyKay]

@7Matahari7 Way of life NOT religion.There is a huge difference between them two

[OakIslandBandit]

@7Matahari7 In the beginning,it's a ritual.At high levels,"Kung Fu" is much more than just a "way of life or ritual" (Religion).It becomes you,it's as natural as breathing the air.

[Samurailord]

@7Matahari7 If you'd look up the defitions of "religion" and of "gung fu" you will realize why this statement is wrong.

[Technocian]
