Shaolin monkey form + staff

[Boochakasplat]

I come to watch a spectacular and ancient art form, and then read the comments which inevitably have knuckleheads of the "BJJ/Muay Thai/MMA RULZ HERP DERP" crowd.

[Hotokichan]

Thank you for posting this! >w<

[mozatcho28]

Sai capeta.

[dudleydoom]

Muy Thai is a joke

[TheChefKev]

@dudleydoom Compared to Shaolin ..It is ;)

[mamba109]

There's always some muy thai fanatics preaching on every ancient martial arts videos. Pure strength means nothing, there are some parts of the body that will remain soft no matter now many years you train. In a real fight, they will rip your ears off and puncture your throat before you hit the floor.

People need to realize the difference between fighting styles for sports, and fighting styles which were used and proven through hundreds of years of war.

[crustylion321]

Shaolin monk can easily get his ass beaten by a muay thai fighter or a professional mma fighter

[Qwetzgreen]

@crustylion321 bull shit

[crustylion321]

@Qwetzgreen its true, deal with it.

[Qwetzgreen]

@crustylion321 ha you clearly dont know anything about these monks. These monks are trained at the youngest age possible at kung fu, they do it until they physically cant, and your telling me that normal people, who ye, sure they learned mma or may thai r whatever, they could get married and have a family and live a city life ect. Shaolin Monks LIVE doing Kung Fu they dont make public apearances unless there is a festival ect even then it is rare.They cnt even leave there temple withought askin.

[crustylion321]

@Qwetzgreen cool story, bro. Muay thai fighter can break a monks neck easily.

[Qwetzgreen]

@crustylion321 a muay thai fighter wouldnt be able to get close enough to a shaolin monk before the monk knocks him out, honestly your dont kno shit about them

[crustylion321]

@Qwetzgreen Monks have no strength, dont believe that Chi crap, its not real. Muay Thai is pure aggression , strength, mixed with accuracy. Thats why its the best fighting style

[Qwetzgreen]

@crustylion321 Hahaha, Go look up shaolin strength techniques and talk to me, they train every single bit of their body including there neck and thighs, to strengthen there arms as 5-13 year olds they continuesly have to hit cold water for 12 hours. Monks necks are so strong they have a certain medidation where they can hang themselfs while medidating for 3 hours, Shaolin Monks are super human.

[crustylion321]

@Qwetzgreen cool story, bro. Muay thai is better

[Qwetzgreen]

@crustylion321 not a story its what they do

[xkosxforever]

what happens when u give a crack head a stick again

[Soroboruo]

One of the only martial arts forms where clinical insanity is a vital qualification.

[7654kvshadow]

when he let go off the staff, that was on purpose or did he fell?

[MartialArtist0914]

@7654kvshadow It's on purpose. You see that in almost all the monkey staff forms. I know because a kid does the monkey staff at my school.

[koisumaz2000]

This is crazy. How does he do it?

[xiaoli26]

I wonder if they like bananas (lol I'm being racist this day ... sry)

[coolchiller5]

Pure awesomeness!!

[Anyammoleft]

0:50 outrages staff spinning.

[Zonemer]

The litle and crazzy monkey catch the fruit... You lost a eye...

Letal dance. The monkey is F*cking good.

[SHIHANDAY]

if i back to life, i wish be a monk shaolin , i love this art,

[Feiky]

@SHIHANDAY I was at Shaolin a while ago, and there are no monks training at the Temple anymore. It's a pure Buddhist Temple now. There are numerous Kung Fu schools all around the Temple. The shows you see nowadays are students from those schools.

[BlindReaper22]

Looks like a Jedi knight. Might even be able to defeat Yoda......

[bbok12]

when i was on shaolin performace ..... some guy in jeans came to the stage during this show and challenged the monk in a kung fu fight! he was probably also kung fu student .... i dont know , but he lost . the monk won . it was so cooool !!!!!

[Vikingman889]

white waxwood:):):)

[paywaga]

hey any1 knows wat material his staff is made from?

[nique121]

@paywaga pretty sure all monkey staffs are aluminium. A hollow aluminium tube. Since wood or bamboo would break when doing the staff balancing moves

[dauer962lemans]

Wow, that was so impressive... then again... from Shaolin, you gotta expect impressive.

[BacheKhala]

omg wat a crazy move. no1 could stop him

[BeedonProductions]

EXtremly good balancing

[Maestro85282]

what happens when you mix kung fu with crack...hehe...just kiddin, this was kewl

[steveirwin12344321]

how do u balance on a staff like he does???

[21526001270528]

its hard to explain. at the same time he pushes with his upper mopst foot down on the staff yet pulls up with his hands and puts his weight on the foot thats closest to the base of the staff creating an equal distrabutuion balancing effect. also notice how the staff bends. bending like that relives pressure and helps balance. hope that helps. :)

[steveirwin12344321]

Yeah, it does - thanx :)

[mastrhaz21]

This guy makes it look so easy i've tried to balance for HALF a second n my staff and I couldn't even come close, this kid is an all out BEASSSSSST

[Dewy101]

Just think, hes about 13, imagine what he will be like at 50 years old? even 40???

[nanhuazhenren]

About 13? he´s rather about 20 or so

[metallicafan003]

he was 16 on that tour

[RoelyBarber]

HOLY SSHIT

[GoonNpk]

does any 1 know what the staff is made out of well i know it is made out of metal and that is has rubber tips on both ends but what is the cloth like material that is used on the middle to support him

[alion06]

...its a traditional shoulin bo staff its made of wood

[shifuyantao]

my friend knews all the kung fu monkey style since she likes monkeys but i only know a few^^;

[soulcamaleon]

Me encanta la forma del mono y me encantaria aprender sus movimientos y filososfia, soy de la linea, Cadiz, España, si conoceis a algun maestro por aqui informadme gracias.

[MattDLongfist]

Fantastic. This guy really knows his stuff. Anyone know what kind of staff he uses? it looks chrome, but it was pretty flexible. Enough to hold his weight, but flexible enough to bend alittle and then back into shape.

[GoonNpk]

your right it is made of chrome mostly every monkey demonstration is done with a metal staff called a pole instead of a gun or gwan which is made of wood. and it is flexible because the metal is not thick

[1465225568]

This is by far the best monkey demonstration I've ever seen. Excellent.

[jonyboy2133]

who knew that a monkey could kick my ass?heh

cool vid 5\5

[Sijee33]

Incredible!

zaiyoh!

[MonkeyDBeyond]

You, my friend, are on your way to becoming a shaolin wushu master.
