you ever heard of ip man dumbass true story he beat twister a famous boxer so if a regular kung fu master can beat a master of course a shoalin monk can beat a ufc fighter dummy
a lot of westerners don't know shit when it comes to shaolin kung fu and they always have to bring up this ufc shit. technique-wise, a lot of ufc fighting is just brainless brawling. a well-trained shaolin monk could easily control a ufc fighter's movements with his structure. strength-wise, a shaolin monk's lifelong and specific training does not only allow the muscle to put out enormous strength, but his muscle, bone, tendon, and joints all could put out more torque and reistance to pain.
@FogiTofu They use a thinner metal which is flimsier so it does less damage to your body when you get impacted by it. Think about it, would you want a 1lb dull edge hitting you, or a 3lb or more edge hitting you?
The flimsy metal has nothing to do with the cost of metal or the damage it does in two person sparring. Basically weapons like that were developed for modern Wushu form display. the metal is flexible so that it can "show the power" running through the blade. It also makes it much lighter and the flex dampens the inertia allowing it to be swung faster and in tighter motions than could be done with a traditional weapon.
Weapons like this are a recent development, no historical Chinese weapons had floppy blades. Body armor was very common in China up through the 1800's. A sword would have to be stiff enough to pierce through most body armor to be considered a decent weapon. With the increase in interest in traditional kungfu I think more people will realize how unrealistic these weapons are for training, and how completely ridiculous they look.
Always find this MMA talk , but as someone said in a real fight u dont fight as in ufc tthrow punches and than back off , rounds of certain time. Real fight u are defending ur life , the instinct of survival kicks in. of course a UFC fighter is better prepared than the regular person in the street. But to say kung fu is bs in real fight , when it originated out there in the nature is too much.
6:50 I know Kung Fu is bullshit in terms of real fighting. But its the coolest looking of all the styles. Kung Fu is the father of all style. Kung FU was first.
@gongxia649 I think a shaolin monk would probably lose an ufc ring fight. But that would be because the purpose of a ring fight is very distant from that of shaolin kung fu. Shaolin kung fu has nothing to do with measuring who's better. It has to do with devotion. Picture the following situation: there's a buddhist relic, and a monk protecting it. An ufc fighter has to defeat the monk and steal it. The fighter wouldn't have a chance.
@changantonio a lot of the strictly defence based martial artists would lose in a ufc ring fight... because there are rules. The kung fu, Ninjutsu, krav maga, etc etc dont have rules. They will most likey lose in the ring, as you said, but the ufc fighter will most likely lose outside the ring in real combat.... pretty much what you alluded to in the relic example.
@changantonio I think that shaolin monks also train to hit vital spots (kicking out knees, crotch shots, hitting throats with strikes) and would win in a no rules fight...
@changantonio how can you think that though? all these flashy forms mean nothing in a real fight.i have only seen one video of a monk in a actual fight. and all he really did was stand there and evade. what reasonable knowlege do you have that the mma fighter would be totally blown out of the water? i have found none
Yeah... Can the monk use the weapon at :54 in the UFC fight? lol MMA is a sport, Shaolin Kung fu is for defending people. It was born out of NEED, and if your shit didn't work you got killed. I am in Shaolin Kempo (Which is a mix of Shaolin animal styles, Karate and Jujitsu) and I have done MMA too, but Kempo is my favorite. There's moves in Shaolin like grabbing people's throat/groin with "tiger claws" or picking people up sideways and slamming their spine on your knee... They dead... o.O
i would have watched the whole 5 parts of this documentary but the excessive fake whacking noise is really getting on my nerves. too bad. shaolin is impressive
@boldemuesli I assume it's a Chinese documentary translated into English. There are a few things that kind of are weird. First off, the fake sounds. Secondly the lack of people wearing grey clothes. Most "monks" in Shaolin nowadays are actually artists for tourists. You need a special license to visit the actual monks & around the monestary are tons of wushu schools that just have fancy moves & that's it.
please get that karate shit outta here have u not learned nothing have u got eyes well obviously your eyes cant see properley i think one should be enough! :)
@Weston1968 yes the swords you see in the video are just for practice. In ancient China the real swords are lethal and swordsmen are considered the ultimate warriors of the society.
