[jmm00702]

of course. youll become a shaolin king fu master byy.. stretching!

[Niactz]

Expert village really sucks...

[FightingWarrior]

It's a shame to see this type of bullshit labeled as "how to do", that guy doesn't know anything about correct warming up and stretching.

[PokeKid42]

@FightingWarrior oh because you just have to be an expert on this subject

[dss103]

"Rite Lef! Circulur" LOL

[Caker123]

Those are some nice Nikes for a monk haha

[ahsonk]

@Caker123 he got them off hte last guy he kicked in the face :D

[ksndk]

[maxayuda2]

this isnt kung fu

[PokeKid42]

@maxayuda2 how do you know?

[TubeYouGuru]

Is it just me or does his accent seem a little exaggerated?

[UzumakiJustice]

0:48 to 0:49 wut the fuk!?lol

[Link030303]

this video actually comes from a how-to website

[haterawk666]

a few of these are actual stretches, but i believe this is merely a person who got bored and just did a few stretches that he believed to be stereotypical of a shaolin monk.

[sylar502]

dont shaolin monks shave their heads?

[lapitug]

thats what we do when i was in the 1st grade

[freemangreen06]

If you want to do a real stretch, you can try eight pieces of brocade. It is like a kongfu version of yoga.

[creedation]

at 1:02.... DO THE MONKEY WITH ME haha

[StreetSmartSicilian]

arrrr give me a brake

[xRisingForcex]

like you can seriously learn this from a two minute expertvillage video. please.

[dragonking700]

@xRisingForcex

sure you can its easy. these aren't advanced techniques here.

[cvartaaa]

uhm wtf?

[jarhead1857]

I am not a buddhist, but I like the philosophy:

This is not to say that one should be passively meek and its not a quid pro quo kind of situation. Ill be nice if youll be nice, is not the goal here, although it is a nice side effect of being respectful. In fact, I think we should approach communication without expectation of reaching agreement or even understanding.

[jarhead1857]

A google search reveals:

Actually, robes from different regions and schools of Buddhist monks are different colors. Many are orange and maroon.

Back in the early days of the Buddhist movement, the robes were to be made from found cloth (rags) and dyed in the cheapest dye available.

The shaved heads are likewise an expression of simplicity, leaving egoistic preoccupations behind.

[jarhead1857]

I wonder why they wear orange...

[massgas7]

@jarhead1857 ive always wondered that too. ;) , i like orange, maybe Buddha did? lol

[mrblobby3000]

Re: shaolin cable - You gotta keep them shaolin's tied up......just in case........ :-)

[mogule40]

[TheLibertard]

asshole

[SilarTut]

Shaolin cable on ground. :o

[luicho0303]

LOOK AT 1:20 HIS DOING THE HULA DANCE

[k1fighter99]

gay

[OhechusO]

I think this is more a warm up than real stetching

[CrazzzySerb]

This is some gay that did not even saw S. Monks

[sideford]

i think youre right...

[1uneek]

Good vid.

[gnarlygneezer]

is this a yoke?

[luicho0303]

ACTUALLY I JUST SAW EVERYTHING HE DOES, AND IT'S KIND OF IMPRESIVE ALSO U KNOW MANY CAN TRAIN IN THE SHAOLIN TEMPO BUT THERE IS JUST FEW THAT MAKE IT TO THE TOP, SO EVEN DO HE'S NOT AS GREAT AS THEM, u can still get his experience, what he has done, train that and do it, and u'll see results, some succeed cuz they're destined to, but most succeed cuz they're determined to.

[jasnich]

@luicho0303 agreed, he may not be the worlds greatest martial artist, but he has much to teach and share. shaolin kung fu style takes much dicipline, time and determination. his form is very accurate and well excecuted. I would be proud to learn under such a teacher.

[srhuno]

IMPOSTOR

[freakbomb]

i saw him eating meat at a pho restaurant

[ilrefex91]

un po' più veloce no?

[sammyorochi]

HOW THE FCK DO I DO A SPLITS WHEN when my ass/penis is 20cm above the ground?

[Lamentfordeath]

WTF???

[RhakarkX]

you can learn how to do what this guys doing from a few hours of shaolin instructions. go look up a true shaolin master doing everything this guy does and you will see that he is NOT a master

[bookguy12000]

thank you!

[MonkyFist303]

Hes only going fast to show you, hes not actually doing the stretches, just for show :D

[vengeance76]

i'm sorry but did he fart at 01:11 ?

[TuluzSrebrov]

no!

[maddude3]

it was the mic under his robe, making contact with the robe dude

[Earthenenigma]

This is the most valuable martial arts instruction I have found. It provides one with the true forms and provides the tool with which one can flow.

[34thshaolinstudent]

Ya'll guy are stupid - that is in fact how you train at all Shaolin temples - I'm sure now ya'll know nothing about Shaolin gungfu that's why you you keep saying negative things about that guy. But these r authentic Shaolin Drills.

[DoronDaMan]

yeah exactly that is the routine that they do in Shaolin kung fu

[oo00spike00oo]

If you stretch like that then your muscles will not be relaxed, they will tense rapidly which could cause pulling muscles etc. The stretches need to be less intent, slower and flow with one another.

[animeisart1]

he does everything fast so he can move on to the next thing and keep it under the time limit

[Spike2709]

for anyone who watches this. you should never circle your head - very dangerous. you should look left, then right, then up, then down repeat etc!

[jimmythebastattss]

sorry but i work my neck in many different ways including neck bridging and circling and ive got a flexible pain free and quite strong neck

[Spike2709]

If you roll your neck in that way, you will be ding long-term damage to the muscles and probably the bones too. pain-free doesnt always mean there's no problem!

[Earthenenigma]

This comment makes sense when applied to western schools of bodywork. Shaolin are not body builders for mass. They ease their bodies into complete ability to move in harmony with their environments.

Western flexes, eastern moves in concordance with.

[joey138]

is this dude retarded?

[LFJ]

thai guy?
