Cool Monk

[4fr0d1s14cuM]

Thats Abbot Hai Deng, he was the last one who was able to do that and died 1989. There are some shaolin practicing the 2-finger-chan but noone ever did thoe one-finger sind hai deng. there is even a movie about him starring the young jet li in 1988 :)

[kionay]

before i saw the video or read the comments i thought it was talking about the TV show monk, ha, haha

[stormtower12]

Even if his feet where tied to the wall there would be tremendous stress on the finger

[ProcrastiBrowser]

I CALL SHENANAGENS... why doesnt the video show the monk getting into the position. fake as the cake.

[djpedraz]

I woke up one time and was in that position. It was weird.

[lovettuk]

This guy doesnt got shit on Goku! i seen that nigga do a finger stand push up!

[eblade1991]

NIGGER

[matmar44]

yes but will u cold do that?

[strateeg32]

hmmm he didnt do all his weight on that finger

he leaned against the wall

I dont say its easy but with practice everyone can do this ;)

Its all about finger training and a bit of technique and balance/centry of gravity.

There are people who put their whole weight on 4 fingers. So I would see thats about the same as this because this is 1/2 or 1/4 of your weight on 1 finger.

[scratchy28]

i just want to meet him

[goudmol15]

@scratchy28 actually if you see the whole documentary about the shaolin temple and it's arts you will know he died.

[mullanimal]

why don't they show his feet or how he got in to this position... come on like.

[KytaEternal]

Shigan: OUREN!

[heyheysg]

They actually released the shaolin manuals on their website, it's in chinese though.

Anyway for this trick apparently you gotta channel your chi through your fingers, 5 hours a day.... for 30 years. Starting with tissue paper and working up to solid wood and longer distances.

[rangerbirdy]

SHIGAN! XD

[BlindEleven]

lolXD

[chanace]

the camera is upside down and he's poking the ceiling

[ArielBravy]

amazing...

[BigBishop1]

fake

[Deathmetalist16]

THAT HAPPENS WHEN UR DRUNK LOL

[leo1337hs]

i mean dick

[leo1337hs]

i can do this on my duck

[wiebenjijzeg]

how to get yourself down? xD

[diuleeseafood]

whats going to happen if this monk finger your pussy

[eightgates]

*hmm* I can hold my weight (130 lb) on six fingers, but not one...

Wonder how long that will take to get.

[masterpimps]

for all the non chinese people

this is all real this is the legendary monk of china but he died years ago.

ITS ALL REAL NO STRINGS OR SHIT.

its an old camera this is filmed in the time that brucelee was still alive.

[GalatsiMurderer]

what the fuck?

how?

holly shit..

[gorillailla202]

fake... they never pan out enough for you to so the bottoms of his feet. just stand on a shelf like thing and with a little creative shootin hes all of a sudden super powered :P

[sprjcube]

yes they do, look at 1:110

[ElxMaxix]

true or false?

[Rodobros]

srly, even is he was holding a string with his left hand, it's still an incredible feat.

[amnix13]

I know how he does it. As you can see the video is a square footage so it would be imposible to see a string be cause an image like this was mad from an old recorder. But if you notice his right hand in 0:41, it looks like his hand is curled in a position, like he is holding onto to something. Plus he never moves his hand through out the video. and by retard0800, his finger would have been insanely white from the pressure of his body weight.

[abyssdnb]

its the bhudda finger Lol

[McConsumer]

what the shit? How and why would that every occur to someone to try?

lol@:42 "long lost skill reappears" the prophecy has been fufilled.

[Retard0800]

fake, his finger doesnt even turn white whereas it would when pressure is applied because the blood will run out of it.

[TomMeHTube]

fake much?

[sasaxgaijin]

incrivel

[cleverusernamelol]

lol itd be so funny if some guy just ran in and pushed him down.

[chinesevietguy]

thats bullshit ! hahaha I have to see it to believe it.

[Gueccio]

It's a fake.

He is holding a string in his left hand. If you can turn down the brightness on your screen, you'll see it.

[insanox]

i dont see the string. and how would the string hold him up and maintain his balance.

[tattob]

dame u you caught that i would have never guessd that

[Japanpenis]

Amazing...  he did this ..when he was 70 years old.

[12lmeganl12]

i thought this was like adrien monk

[KuchikiSAN17]

i never doubted monks can do this. I got a chance to see a live monk martial arts exhibition. I was really speechless with their moves. What you see on the movies were done live. Of course minus the bicycle kick..hehehe

[superbizar]

isn't fake, look at the shadow on the wall

[mycathasbeenstolen]

this isnt fake he is my uncle and even i can do this

[siptoss]

if its real, why dont they show how he got up like that, and how come they never show the top of his feet when he's upside down

[WebbanationX]

at about 1:12 they barely show the top. Doesn't seem to be anything holding him up but that index finger

[ciphro]

Because this was along time ago for one so the world wasn't jam packed with liars...especially in China. And it took a long time for him to get up most likely. This stuff is real he directs his qi he achieves through meditation into his finger which makes it several times stronger.

[BananaTots]

That's cool.

[deathcocktai]

If you can do it post it!! There should be doubt by buffing to yourself.This is not fake STOP MAKING ASSUMPTION, UNLESS YOU HAVE REAL KNOWLEDGE OR SHAME OF YOURSELF.

[PirateKing1256]

It's too powerful!

[0reen0captive0]

that looks so fake, they could've done a better job at making it look real.

[thejoshwolfe]

That looks so fake. Even if it isn't, they could have done a better job making it look like they weren't holding the camera at an angle

[adiogurl405]

who just decides they want to balance on one finger upside down?? they come up with the weirdest things...

[domochandgr8]

damn i can do that!

even my uncle can do that! ha ha!

[Mexina201]

doubt it...

[KingCRUNX]

I can feel my finger snapping just looking at that!

[XXTheRealMcCoyXX]

lol same!

[KingCRUNX]

Its like DragonBall Z come to life. XP

[XXTheRealMcCoyXX]

I know! it's like something strait out of a video game!... this is true mind over matter!...If this is actually for real then that means average people aren't actually pushing their real physical limits or pain boundaries... to stand on one figurer looks like madness but maybe still possible cause half his body wait is distributed agents the wall onto his legs? :S it's truly bizarre!

[bubba2194]

im not saying its fake but holy crap i used to think this was only in the movies lol wow that is amazing

[YangyStyle]

That's 100% true! the shaolin monk can do 2 finger stand by just practicing for 3 years! This old monk is famous for his fabulous one finger skill in China,by the way his name also was mentioned in the discovery channel

[YangyStyle]

That's 100% true! the shaolin monk can do 2 finger stand by just practicing for 3 years! This old monk is famous for his fabulous one finger skill in China,by the way his name also was mentioned in the discovery channel

[Nosgaum]

he really was cool :)

[GHUJSE]

fake

[ZoMyIpod]

why is something that you can't do fake?

[GHUJSE]

aah... who says i cant do this?

[tomebradley]

of course its fake. No stress on his finger what so ever and you never do see him getting into that position, or see his feet. He is being supported by his feet with something on the wall

[Auron298]

You can see his feet.

[BoJaN4464]

around 1:15 you see his feet just fine dude... it isn't fake but he's also distributing some weight on the wall, now if he did that in the middle of the room it would be impressive

[Dopemaster420]

its impressive enough...if u can do what he just did, then u can say it wasnt impressive

[warrax111]

Fake.

[doddsino]

This is possible, I've seen it at the circus back in the day, a 13 year old kid did and I guarentee there were no strings or anything, he also tap danced with his hands. He said he practices 30 minutes to an hour a day. He was also able to slowly revolve his body around. It was very cool.

[Darkkunai]

if you have the finger strength try doing a pushup with your four fingers its not really that hard. ALSO people have done handstands havent they? whats pushing the ground when your trying to balance or lifting you a bit when you roll off.......yup YOUR FINGERS. tell me if i have made a flaw in my opinion

[Cocioshaker]

No matter how many pushups you do with your finger, you will reach the limit of its strength, which is far from enough to support your body weight.

And btw, its your hands that support the pressure, your fingers mostly serve as balancers in this case.

[deathcocktai]

Do you ever think of the purpose of foot stand with the difference of push-ups.

[Darkkunai]

did you do any research on what i just told you? ok ill just shorten it up it takes yours and years of training 2 hours a day every day of your life doing pushups your fingers. ok i can do pushups on all my fingers thats possible. ok they now have strenght in thier fingers after a few years of doing it ever day. now their hands can support half their wieght on pushups using 2 fingers (possible) not that old man has been doing that all of his life.

[Darkkunai]

My turn.... google up 2 finger zen or 1 finger zen. kids in shoalin schools do it all the time.... thank you for your time if you have any more questions please contact my secretary to set an apointment. thank you and goodnight.

[Darkkunai]

well pick em out then o_o!

[jefffawcett]

yeah, I'm sure the most amazing physical feat possible has never been seen anywhere but on grainy intervet video. More mystical martial arts BS

[elcaraepelota]

for all the idiots that think that this is a fake because the dont show the monks feet stop the video at 1:12.

[ir0xr0z]

lies.

[lSpyder12]

my flute teacher told me about this?

[maske2341]

i thought that 2 man

[ss4gohan4ss]

that looks fake because they dont show his feet but i may be wrong because the Chinese are ancient martial artiest who deserve respect

[EmberingEvil911]

it's real dude and wiki is crap---azn pride

[Cajunx2001]

It looks like his boots are holstered from the top: (1) You don't see any footage of him actually getting up and supporting his a*ss and, (2) You can't see his feet fully in the video. There is a reason why he is the "only one" in the world that can do this -- because this scumbag is a fake and liar and, no other decent Jabroni would ever think of enacting such a scam. LOLZ

[Seriphanz]

he has his damn feet on the wall...

[gosh8805]

Yeah, I noticed that to at first, but think, even if his feet are on the wall, it would still be incredibly incredibly difficult to support your body on one finger, give it a try one day, see how you do :P

[TheSleepingSage]

That's kind of what I was thinking. Not many old men that can do that much. Hell, not many of us youngsters can either. 8D

[hazzaperkins08]

weird dude

[CalRocks]

crazy chongys

[Vegetto19]

If you look at his feet from 1:08 - 1:12, you'll know that it is NOT fake and this is the real 'gong fu'.

[Deian69]

I believe the he can really to that,without a doubt.

[BZLIAN99]

He gathered his chi and transfered it into one finger!! o.o

[gyroscopical]

it is too bad you don't see his feet.

but its definately possible

watch?v=OciLGz57Ong

If this guy can do it with 2 fingers with loud music in open air, he will surely do it when he practises for 30 more years and sits in his room

[9NarutoKun9]

Also if you are aware please look at the finger tip all the blood rush to the tip and is using alot of pressure.

[9NarutoKun9]

Thanks for sharing whether people believe or not, but i seen it real life performance in China.

From: Naruto Kun

[Elmeromero1]

Why can't just simply put it's an actual feet of skill from this man? I mean, at his age, he doesn't have to lie about things

[bboySyke]

David Blaine, is more fake then this Monk.

[JKx]

shaoliNnnn!!!

[megalocanibal666]

i dnt know ay tipicle asian recording mite be tru, have seen worse so u never know

[haoluo]

totaaaly totally fake dont beilieve it there and a number of principles of physics and biology voilated in this video which makes it totally fake

[abd444]

it's only impossible until someone does it... and that won't be long. Someone will break the mold of physics and shatter it.

[Elmeromero1]

True

so we must make fact from such events, and keep others that have been untapped fiction.

[abd444]

true. good way to look at it.

[parabellumben]

why don't you do us all a favor and cite a number of principles of biophysics which would preclude a man from putting most or all of his weight on his fingers?

 and while you're at it, hop on to the history channel and watch 'human weapon: kung fu', then tell me if those monks are faking the self-same qi demonstrations.

[ktownfarmboy]

you sure it aint fake? i didnt see his feet. looks like they coulda tied his feet to something.

[PliskinShalashaska]

No Fake.

I've seen him dong it on other Vids.

Immer diese blöden penetranten Pessimisten .. unglaublich ...

[Takarious]

Notice how the camera never went past his feet while upside down? Concrete evidence to suggest a 180 degree camera angle? I think so. Consider that the floor never has a chance to begin and he's touching a different color ceiling.

[LordSaradoc]

At 1:11 you can see the feet.

And the clothing does look like upside down.

I guess they just did not want to show him get in this position, because he got lifted up or had much trouble getting there. That movie was actually more propaganda then documentation.

[hoangggg1]

v=9SYY3-e7_tY

this video some shoalin kid doin 2 finger zen so in the future he could master 1 finger zen. hopefully :D

[popatire23]

fake. im not saying its impossible, but this just looks too fake to me

[hasbet]

wow that was really badly cut

guy is sitting and meditating and shit... BAM one finger handstand

[kdorff]

I bet there is a diagonal pole coming from the wall and he is just attached to the pole, similar to the "levitating" guys in India.

[SpunkMaster3000]

not 100% certain about this but his finger DOES look spazzed like he's been doing this for a long time.

[gotilk]

I guess in Shaolin world, water stains go up. Amazing.

[iancorey]

BOOSH!

[Tibbon]

I could do that... j/k

[Netty07]

Fake, you never see his feet.

[LordSaradoc]

You can clearly see the feet at 1:11.

The cameraman is just stupid^^

[blix797]

yes, he's leaning his feet against the wall. The point is, he's supporting his entire body weight with his finger.

[cyberstev3]

I don't think it matters if we see his feet, it's still amazing with OR without his feet on the wall. Go try it :)

[bicnarok]

I can do that

[budlite603]

wow pintpot u r one dumb shit monks can do that even 1 finger espiacailly shaolin monks how did u think bruce lee did the two finger push up bs he came from there they 4 proffesional training not 4 dumb shit like u

[bhl19]

i see the strings..

nah jus kiddin cool trick though

[shatooaziz]

shit that is some cool stuff

[DannyBoyd999]

And the point is?

Pardon the pun...

[bigfattony007]

He is a monk, but not a Shaolin monk. There is no record found in Shaolin Temple that he ever lived there. Also, during the 80s, a journalist report this monk's student admitted he actually hanged there with a rope during the demonstration. This monk has become a controversial figure after his death as more and more evidence showing he is not as "powerful" as being claimed.

[boxa888]

well did u see his other video he punches his fucking finger through a punching bag with barely any force its insane!!!

[jonbonaxl]

galing mu manong ah...pede b s puke?..hahaha...astig k bilib ak sau

[stuntgymnast]

its def not a fake. ive seen rock climbers hold their weight with just one finger - its amazing how much strength one can have.

[pintpot]

This is clearly a fake. Apart form the physics of it being overwhelmingly impossible, ask yourself "why didn't we see him get into that position?" and "what evidence is there that the camera is the right way up?"!

[Strykethelight]

if the camera was upside down, still how would he be balancing from the corner of the wall to the ceiling?

[fearthestupid]

camera evidence...gi (robe for some of you) is hanging DOWN..(opposite of up for some of you) so, in summation, you are dumb

[pintpot]

Unfortunately the vid is no longer available for you to watch, but look closely at the pics, which you can still see. Some of the robe is hanging "down", most of it isn't. To be real, all of it would have to be hanging down.

Anyway, more importantly, this is clearly impossible to do! :)

[7scales]

i think its not fake because somehow monks have come up with techniques to stand on 1 finger just because you can't do it don't meen its fake.

[pintpot]

u are not thinking. ask yourself "if this is not fake, why couldn't we see how he got into that position?" if we could see that, it would not only look a LOT less fake, but it woould look more impressive. Don't u think that it is maybe just a LITTLE more likely that they turned the camera upside down?!

[ikra]

well, i know monks can make their heart rate to at least 2 beats per minute

[sat9008]

This is real...he was a shalin monk who died in around 1988 and he was the only person who could do it at that time and since his death nobody else can do one finger "kung fu" but some can do two finger "kung fu"

[A4k2i0]

It doesn't matter if his feet touch the wall or not, It's still hard to do. And if a man can pull a truck with his penis then this must not be fake.

[zupermarlon]

Monks are not fake... believe what you will, fake or not Monks really do have amazing self control of their body and mental abilities and this trick can be done. Whether this person is a Monk or not really doesn't matter- the question is do you believe it is possible. I do, how about you?

[gurlygirly123]

there has to be pressure on his finger n stuff. his finger is supposed to bend a little, and it didnt. this is fake

[pgomolchuk]

This is a fake. No pressure on his finger. No pressure on his arm. The physiology doesn't work. The wall cannot take away his weight. He is suspended.

[gyroscopical]

so you can see pressure?

watch?v=nzEpP2pEGCY

[pgomolchuk]

this film is as real as a cartoon. you have to want to believe it.

[zxcvnmju]

no, this is not fake. I saw one an article on this kind of thing in a magazine or something. A guy standing on one finger. Its amazing what monks can do. I know a kung fu sifu (teacher), and he goes to china every few years to train with them. They bring back videos of them doing crazy crap. One of them was being held up by about 20 spears, another took a punch in the stomach by the biggest and probably strongest guys in the room, her didn't flinch or move like at all.

[dublfold]

Is it fake or not? My finger challenge is not fake. I wonder if this monk could do it? Can you?

[purenzi]

not a fake imo. the reason you can't see over his feet could be because of stupidity from the camera man, which because of that made the whole movie look like a fake. if we look closely at the shadows, the angles are precise. so we see the man is there. now we look at his feet. if he were being pulled up, he would need to be done so by the anckles, not by the fingertips. try to be pulled up from a string or wtv from that position by the fingertips, and you'll get very unbalanced. imo anyway

[cnwatch]

the monk was able to do that when he was young.

but anyway for some reasons, the film you see is fake.

[KingSwing]

You never really see above his feet. It seems fake to me.

[azerton007]

fake

[Lamboman44]

>.< he cheated!!!! he used the wall. JK i couldnt do that myself.

[federico5433]

amazing!

[banjokrisis]

I wonder what being fingered by that guy would be like.

[dateion]

standing on one finger and beeing a virgin < sitting on ass on youtube and getting some

[Asuir]

The pride of the Chinese culture? Chinese people must not do much.

[Azner2254]

WE DO AlO- *falls asleep*

[oki81]

WEll this guys is Hai Deng... the Headmaster of Shaolin Temple -the most powerful of all Shaolin monks.. however he is dead now! and he was the only one that could accomplish the "one finger stand" for 3 generation of Shaolin martial monks

[1337hax0rnat0r]

O.O this hax is not in my book... MUST GET IT

[Themightygunslinger]

OMG Fist of the north star
