  • These guys would get killed in a cage fight..

    This shit has nothing on MMA (real fighting)

  • So many swooshy sounds...

  • wow!!! amazing!!!

  • kid at 8:50 could probably kid my ass and i have about 120 on him

  • At least these people teach strength within the mind they don't praise evil they don't go around wearing rag heads carrying ak47s flying planes into building coz their pussy god told em too.. these guys will kick the fuck out of Christianity.Islam if you fuck with their temple Buddha be praised

  • @AnnyoingTruth90 Why are you comparing religion with Buddhism it makes no sense. The way you think is so poisoned with media and what we except as life. People just don't get it.

  • meanwhile monks are watching every day life in america. Pause the video pray to god for those poor souls.

  • @salepauvre87 Shaolin monks wouldnt pray to god. They are Buddhists, they dont believe in god, they are not like most Christians who feel they are qualified to pass judgement on other people.

  • @TheDN3A416 watch ancient aliens, that'll blow your mind about god..

  • @salepauvre87 Take that poison to your kind.

  • Bet they can't go SSJ3 though

  • @F1LDB Maybe they can, it's just not shown due to copyright infringement

  • blessed art thou my brothers,for thou carry the spirit via this medium is brought into our consiouneness. blessed for ye shall be adults who carry the spirit of the lord budda. blessing to yyou

  • I was very surprised when undertexten var på svenska! :D

  • wait, theyre using forks!?

  • filming 10 yo sleeping, creepy?

  • I couldn't have sex for 12 months and I ended up wearing an orange tea towel kicking cars on my high street. I guess if I was chinese it would have ended like above. Curse you genetics!!!!

  • This is what happens when you can't have sex

  • @davidgillis25 They do have sex, bitches love shaolin

  • I used to be a shaolin monk like you, then I took an arrow to the chi.

  • @GridJumping lol

  • @GridJumping lame joke .. nice try at being desperate for attention

  • @AFirelnside lol shut up faggot

  • @GridJumping Dude that's just pathetic

  • this makes my mma training look like shit

  • @chinchillaminkable shaolin monks make everybody look like shit

  • in how many moves can these fuckerz leave u with no pulse?

  • If we did stuff like this in the U.S., maybe there would be less obese kids..

  • im an american. we're doomed.....

  • härligt att vara svensk!

  • i want to take a video but i dont have a camera

  • The kid with the shaved head and orange overalls is the best

  • sound effects = facepalm

  • @Malkesnitten aaah cmon, don't you just love them? ;D specially that punch-sound from cartoons.

  • Dod anybody else see where the kid just went into a split and fell on his mini-manhood? I felt that through my phone X/ just sayin

  • This documentary would be much more enjoyable without the whipping sounds.

  • I'm going to commit my life to the same training and get into mma

  • i like kungfu

  • Do they have to pay to enter?

  • @SouthParkBear it would disgrace the honor of the shaolin to try and do so. No one who has ever competed in an MMA tournament has ever went through even 1/4 of the rigorous training nor is as dedicated as the shaolin. They dedicate their entire lives to this, it is as old as time moving forward AD. This is tried and tested over generations upon generations. These are not your steroid ridden MMA fighters that were bullies in high school. These are truly spiritual people.

  • @liftthecurse well said!!

  • @liftthecurse Perfectly stated. Many people have missed the spiritual meaning behind martial arts.

  • I can see the USA version of the Shaolin Monk with our cushy coffee house right next to camp to lend assistance to the 4:00am wake up call (I know they are young, but don't forget- free WiFi, they are hooked!), the aroma of burgers the top of the stair climb, and our team of lawyers are waiting (& promoting) injury and abuse claims. "Come on monks, we'll kick your butts!!" (I know you are peaceful, but remember, we like talking trash). All sad, but too bad, basically that just the way it is!

  • @feldeee What are you even talking about? I'm American and i'll admit that even those kids that were training could kick more ass than most Americans.

  • @DnbDubJunkie

    Yeah too bad that NO Shaolin monk could ever win the UFC championship.

  • @SouthParkBear, oh yeah. ufc? more like televised gay porn...

    nothing like 2 men semi-fucking eachother on the floor sweaty & half naked.

  • What lame sound effects. Video games are more convincing.

  • I am so pissed of my self now.

  • so is the aim of all of this to obtain spiritual enlightenment thru discipline?...think i'll stick to prayer ;)..it's easier to' talk' to God...Jesus is THE WAY, TRUTH AND THE LIFE..He did not demonstrate we live this way...he GAVE love to everyone he met..this seems to be a cult..a very egotistical practice..'anything you can do, i can do better' kind of existence perhaps?

  • @SuperLuckao

    From one Christian to another: You're completely misinformed. If anything, you should know that we are not to judge.

  • @SuperLuckao i understand where you are comming from as a follower of jesus myself but who is any one to judge. these kids have disipline they have respect and they are clearly healthy now look where we live is america any better

  • @AREALBROTHA these monks just dontfight they also help people with their knowledge about human body and human mind.

  • @SuperLuckao Everything Jesus did was a reflection of discipline... Shaolin Warrior monks were defenders of their temples when clan warfare, barbarians, and highwaymen were rampant through China... They defended and protected, and did this through discipline. You're ignorant and the definition of egotism. Your comment demonstrates the "my belief is better" than yours existence. Educate yourself.

  • @SuperLuckao They are good people, and it's not anyone to judge how they live. I was thought that even if your not christian, it is still possible to go to Heaven.

  • @SuperLuckao

    Educate yourself before making ignorant assumptions like that.

  • @SuperLuckao

    I think you summed up "narrow minded idiot evangelical christian" quite well =]

  • @SuperLuckao Get your faggot ass out of here and go touch some little boys.

  • @SuperLuckao Don't try to teach people that are older than your religion. Please...

  • Can't they fly and break mountains?

  • where the hell is master roshi? :P

  • Just so people know, this is not kung fu, it is called Wushu. kung fu is just the broad term we americans gave this ancient form of martial arts. Nobody in China calls it kung fu. I think its about time the world refers to this by its real name. Much love.

  • gay sound effects ..

  • does one have to be a Han Chinese to be admitted in these temples?

  • @Spanishfutbol2010

    no. you just need money.

  • fuck u and your stupid whatever language that is titles!!!!!!

  • Fuck National Geographic. They are so shallow that they added sound effects for all the kung-fu moves. Nothing they say is reliable when they pull such cheap stunts.

  • how long would it need me to go there and learn this!?

  • @HIMYMjocke This is one of the many schools in China. Check out this school; Qufu Shaolin Kung Fu School China. To learn real wu-shu and types of martial arts like that, it takes a lifetime to really learn and understand it. Going to the Qufu Shaolin Kung Fu School China, time-wise, depends on the time you can visit china, some go for a month others for a year. Go to your embassy for more info how long you can stay in China and/or contact the Qufu Shaolin Kung Fu School China on their website.

  • I want this lifestyle. I wanna be strong I bet u anything that 9 year old kid is healthier stronger smarty and defiantly more flexible lol.

  • ANNUNAKIS SHAOLIN MONK RED DRAGON POWERFULL??=KUDALINI SSNAKE:)

  • they still cant fly? o.O:)

  • I would gladly give up my life of luxury for this...I think. Well all except for the vegetarian thing...I would die...

  • i would actually love this lifestyle, looks so simple and secluded.

  • @TheCelestialTeacup simple? then you are a fool andplus it is easy for you to say that but i doubt you would think the same way when getting there

  • This is why american kids are fat

  • drug dealer flick rahke sent me here

  • 2 sets of subtitles pisses me off.....

  • @ThrowDownArtists its the worst

  • @winek0ne

    It's not about whether meat is bad to your own body or not. It's because buddha said not to kill in order to satisfy your own taste buds. It's about taking lifes. Shaolin monks eat vegetarian food even though their training is tough

  • are kung fu only 4 bois,,i dont c any gurl doing kung fu

  • @angietheboo you deserve to be shot. 

  • @angietheboo these are monks

  • The english subs are covered up xD 0_O I don't speak Chinese well nor do mos English speakers

  • they use metal forks O_o

    

  • lol what's with the ridiculous sound effects?

  • @ragekage209 those aren't sound effects...

  • @mrmolestah I think so...

  • @mrmolestah Yes they are. Don't delude yourself.

  • @mrmolestah lol

  • The subtitles are swedish <3

  • that's education .

  • master chief beware roflololol

  • it's good what they do but I worry they don't eat enough food/protein and don't sleep enough. thus they end up midgets (albeit very physically fit ones). 

  • Amitovo,I Wisch to Bekomme a,Shaolin GongFu Munk,PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME-OUT?I LIVE IN,AUSTRIA/EUROPE-402-Linz,UPP­ER-AUSTRIA!THANK YOU!

  • I wish i started that young..

  • give em some protein and they would be unstoppable o.O

  • these guys are awsome iv been doing kung fu as well but its choy li fut iv been doing it for 2 and a half years. but in all iv been doing martial arts in all for 8 and a half years.

  • The sound effects ruin the video

  • @animatahr ikr

  • @animatahr those arent sound effect bro lolz thats them

  • 7:01 look up shaolin iron leg and you see that guy..he has his own you tube channel

  • That kid has been doing kung-fu for 3 years and i bet hes better at kicking ass than i am XD and ive been doing goju-ryu karate for 5 years XDDD congratulations for the shaolin martial artists. i hope your tradition stays alive :) and thanks to the person who uploaded this :D

  • Imagine if they could eat meat or a high protein diet.

  • 16 people got their ass beat by a shaolin monks

  • fuck i wish i was raised like this!!!! could you imagine how better this world would be?

  • @love8money

    a gazillion times better

  • I thought that Shaolin was the only Buddhist monastery that could eat meat and drink alcohol, having saved a prince in the sixth century, who later became the first Tang emperor.. ...

  • @fuhzzycarrot4u In my opinion, monks should be able to eat meat anyway, but not drink alcohol because that sort of ruins the whole vow of holiness, meat does no harm really.

  • @WineK0ne buddalism dont allow them to do it.

  • The video was great but the fucking swedish subtitles ruined the understanding of what the shao lin monks said. All was good but swedish subtitle! But if i got the chance i would be like that little kid. Cute but dangers:-P

  • does anyone know whats the name of the song (opening theme and main theme)? ty

  • sad part is these kids can't give me a thumbs up on u tube ::(

    oh btw

    at 6:43 when he mentions the master's name... it sounded like g.i joe. :D

  • why am I not over there...

  • @TheSinful92 because they dont have LCD Tvs and XBox :(

  • why do i feel like the shaolin will some day take over the world once they get a big enough army

  • @campos8904 lol, you have quite imagination for such thing yehahaha

  • Man, if they hadn't put in the sound effects I might not have known they were doing martial arts.....O.o

  • its pretty crazy watching these little kids rock n roll like that..... meanwhile 8 year old american kids live with PSP's in front of their faces and french fries stuck in their mouths.

  • from when is this documentary?

  • lol, not only are the sound effects very unnecessary but they suck ass XD

  • Would have been better if they didn't add in all the "woosh-ing" sound effects for every strike. It's really not necessary. We're not watching a Bruce Lee movie here.

  • how does master shi heng jun put a positive impact on the world?

  • Damn.... ahhhh wow..... such harsh training, yet it all pays off. Just look at how powerful they are. Even the younger ones. So much ability......

  • there so cute..... yet they can kick your ass

  • I'm the luckiest of all ! Master Shi Heng Jun lives in Paris as I do : he oppened a Shaolin Kung Fu Center to provide his culture in France :) I gotta follow his class !!

  • swedish subs ftw

  • im not saying i would pick a fight with that 9 year old but i think it would be interesting to see how bad he would whoop myy ass.. im 21 haha

  • @HydrantOne3 yeah i was thinking the same thing too i'm 20 and i just wonder but in reality he would kill both of us lol........................unl­ess i create a distraction and u come up behind :D

  • Okay wait... what on earth is 2:13 - 2:15 ... Is that what i think it is? O_O

  • @xDHenriixD a foot? yeh ;)

  • Do you have to be Chinese to become a Shaolin monk?

  • @TheDoctorwhofan456 No, they have western acolytes in the temple.

  • @TheDoctorwhofan456 Nope~ they accept foreigners who's interest in martial arts is not for violence and also willing to convert and believe in the way of the Buddha. However, you've got to be able to withstand the vegetarianism and almost cruel trainings...

  • 16 people are fat ass

  • Please remember these guys are MONKS primeraly a religous body,the martial arts to them are a means to an end and not a macho ass kicking mind set

  • I bet he cant kick my kyokushin ass ;)

  • I love the focus and training , i believe they have something much better than an American dream. They have self control , moral and other things. I can only aspire to be like the young as i grow older.

  • that 9 year old could kick my ass, and I am about 5foot 9, and weight almost 200 pounds. I can also bet, that, that 9 year old, could kick the ass of everyone who comments on here.

  • The Shaolin need a reformer. I wonder what Bruce Lee rhought of them

  • wow and i thought the army was intense

  • The breaking celery sound effects... are those really necessary? >_>

  • love this video

  • @Distance9240 mkultra monarch kids- obey or else-the cane-severe abuse used to get this level of perfection-mkultra all over again-look up tibetan monk abusers-why peghouses is name of male prostitute houses in malaysia

  • ive been tryin to learn this for a while i need help

  • Epic sound effects!

    And the guy 2 below is right, they only practice Kung Fu in order to protect the temple. They call them "Warrior Monks"

  • mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn cool i wanna learn it now

  • woosh woosh woosh woosh (sound fx)

  • Did it really need the corny sound fx at the beginning?

  • Master shi hengjun look pretty gay tho no joke loololol

  • if the chinese kung fu was great martial art.........why Jegins Khan conquest entire north empires of china in the year 1211 ??Mongols didnt khows kung fu,they were perfect archers and horse raiders only!!!!But chinese in these years ,knew already kung fu-wu shu-tai chi etc.and they were specialists at it!So as a martial art kung fu,where was its contribution against the barbarians mongols who didnt know kung fu?May be kung fu isnt for real fights?anyone can answer???

  • @TAOTAO3730 chinese didnt know kung fu back then either...the shaolin monks were against the emperor of china and are against violence...therefore they are NOT SOLDIERS but WARRIORS it IS very diferent and kung fu is not a fighting technique alone it is a WAY OF LIFE...-.- peace

  • @rukka16 I love you.

  • i bet the nine year old kid wil kick the living shit out of chuck norris

  • @HCbrutusHC nah chuck norris is still the one trippin ballz.hes the fucking man.

  • hey I gotta a question which is the language of the subtitles?

  • @uprightbass90 The language is Swedish

  • I wonder if there's any drop on request ?

  • These kids are busting their asses off and your kids are playing nintendo, eating hot dogs and chicken nuggets and get tired from walking to the bus stop.

  • @beast6228 im not as fit as a shoulin monk but i do at least 2 hours of excersize a day

  • i hate the fake ass sound effects... thank you discovery channel u suck... no hate though

  • @ChodeRigga I'm practesing Kung fu, and it's not sound effects, when you do a movement fast enough the cloth makes that sound

  • i wanna be shaolin monk

  • @JJSSBJ i wish i was born there... It's so hard to learn it now, when your older... I am learning it, but i'm 17 years old.. it's really hard.. i went to china twice, to train there with real monks.. but even 5year old kids are better developed than me...

    It's really hard...

  • damn they like spartans

  • fighters? pfffft

  • The only accurate sound effect is the swords around 5:30. Those swords are a really thin metal and are made so they make that sound.

  • wtf ?! 2:17

  • damn. that 9 year old could probably kick my ass all over the place if he wanted to

  • And Chuck Norris, for the first time since the Big Bang (his Conception, not the Universe), Bowed his head in respect.

  • lolzz pla clones :).

  • lol i would walk down the hill not crawl..nobody would no:L

  • @ricojordanrai and that is why you will forever be an ignorant american

  • @Pielover461 I have much respect for the way of life of China, including the martial arts, the food which I think is amazing, noodles :) amazing :) I also find the mythology of china really interesting :) message me if you want to talk? I am from the UK by the way :)

  • I am hard. Thats why you're not like me...

  • The title should be "Myths, Logic and 80's sound effects of the Shaolin Monks"

  • Respect to the monks!

    Those computer-game effects put on top of old traditional monks are absurd. National Geographic taking the piss out of shaolin monks - so, so stupid :D

    A fist hitting out in the air doesn't say *SWOSH* and especially not when the nearest microphone 30 ft. away (inside the camera).

    Didn't anyone else notice?

  • How many generations are they in, anyhow? Well over 30?

  • My mrs loves taking my Harry Monk

  • the shoalin monks are like the swat+spetsnaz+green beret back in the day in china

  • Funny, it looks almost similar to training in the Marines.

  • @DillaWorld marines were born this century, the monks been doing this for thousands of years

  • We should take some cues from these people. For example their training methods (a part of it), and some principles. Also, these guys don't use "belt ranking systems", which is good; no envy, no useless competitions, no discrimination, etc. This is about a way of life, not sports or contests.
