I'd have to go with havrist1 on this one. A real Shaolin monk could probably hold his own against Kimbo, but these are not real Shaolin monks. They are acrobats, Wushu performers. They are the best at what they do, but it isn't traditional boxing styles. It's modern acrobatic skills that contain some modified elements from traditional styles. I'm getting tired of explaining this.
@VizzeOne Yeah. When they start balancing on razor sharp spears and taking dowel rods to the groin that's when you can usually tell they are the real thing :P
@havrist1 these people are taught to sustain unimaginable amounts of pain, yet alone they are as fast and as lethal as ever. kimbo wouldn't have the stamina, and even if he did hit them, do you think a guy who can put his weight on 6 spearheads is going to cry about a shot from kimbo? ha. besides, they don't inflict pain unles absolutely necessary. so yes kimbo may win by decision, but only because the monk wouldn't attack.
what i learned from the video: shaolin kung fu = professional wrestling... id beat ALL of them at once, just from what i learned in jackie chan movies
what the use all of these, if you dont have any girlfriend, you never eat a good hamburger, never drive cars, play video games, skate, never got drunk, and you not enjoy the life that God gave you??
@maple03maple03 What kind of retarded response is that. Why dont you go ask a priest why he choses the life he has. its a personal choice. Not everyone can do it. But it is a personal choice and it is a very sober and simple lifestyle. But in return they get ultimate perfection in fighting. That is the deal thats given to them. Your response is just too dumb for words.
Thats why its equally retarded for people to say that MMA has anything on shaolin. Riggghhhttt. Get the fk off the stage clown
with the type of training those guys do im surprised they had that chubby guy in there. and how clumsy he seemed, imagine how uncoordinated he was before the training.
@JoeThaDreamer i know plenty of chubby kung fu practitioners(not shaolin, but still). One of them said he was chubby on purpose because it helped his fighting style, the more weight he had the easier it was for him to leverage and not be leveraged, just saying, maybe he did it on purpose
When you swing the wooden stick, the strongest part of the stick is near tip end. I am sure all martial artists knew that. However, they are smashing the body parts at the center.. therefore the sticks breaks easily.
Great observation. Of course everyone knew that lol. BTW they're using easter white pine. The softest wood on the scale. The hardest wood is Brazlian Walnut also known as Ipe. If they can resist a hit from that stick and near the edge, I would bow down to them. I doubt it though. They'll hold their guts and cry.
kung fu is most likely one of the most effective martial arts. The monks also train all day, every day. A UFC fight would last, ummm, i dont know, 1 minute with a master at kung fu.
and yet for all the years fools like you have been making ridiculous comments, not once have we seen a "kung fu" fight; just unsubstantiated hypothetical rubbish. Meanwhile, Mixed martial arts has been a demonstrable and televised form of combat.
you mean like the force? All i need is a basic psychology course at a community college to understand silly little chinese cultists and their half retarded white counter parts.
Is that so, bootryfly? Have you attained full enlightenment? Have you fully harnessed your chi? Tell me it's silly after you've done all that. Your insulting of Buddhism sounds like racism to me- it's a LITTLE more than a Chinese cult by now, lol! Try reading a book on the subject, it's a lot more than what you'd learn in western Psychology (I've taken Psychology at a university and studied Buddhism for years- trust me when I say you have NO idea what you're talking about.)
trust you? even more amusing; trust you that I have no idea what im talking about. My insults are reserved strictly for the absurdity of the "art." You sound like a bright fellow.... seeing as you went to a university and all. But probability dictates that you are just a pervert obsessed with smooth asian men
I'm so confused... #1 yes, I am a pervert obsessed with men (seeing as how I'm a 25-year-old woman) and #2 thanks for calling me bright. At first I thought it was sarcasm but then there was no punch line, so you must have meant it. (?) My insults are reserved for people who belittle entire cultures and timeless arts they seem to know little about, and then call me a half retarded white counterpart for respecting these things.
I see.... you're a woman. Well that would explain why you believe sarcasm requires a punchline. It would also explain why you're incapable of understanding that my insults toward the "cult" were gratuitous and verily meaningless. Again being a woman (heavy sarcasm.... intended to be an insult.... no punchline required) you can't discern who is actually being insulted. If you put down the romance novel or you're not caught up at the university, perhaps ill elucidate
omg...what's wrong with you people....gosh.......stop saying that kung fu is not a effectiveness...martial art.......the reason why it doesn't look like a effectiveness attack...is that...they are only doing it for a show here.....but the real fight is different......it has more energetic power......if you concentrate alot then your attacks will be effective....but if you lack concertration then you lose the effectiveness attack..that's what meditation is for.....to calm yourself down.......
Yeah, just remember, if anyone tries to compare it to the UFC or says "it isn't used in the UFC because it doesn't work," uh.... last time I checked, the UFC is a sport and kung fu is a martial art where you can strike wherever you please and in the UFC they have many rules not allowing many things. So the UFC stuff would not work in the real world because it is a SPORT.
originally ALL strikes were allowed and kungfu STILL did not do well let's just respect the beautiful art ok? but for combat it's mystique is over hyped.
That is because you have to have the right mind set. It is VERY complicated and time consuming to explain. The monks are very good because they have the right mind set. But if some person just wants to learn it to beat people, they can NEVER be great. Meaning if you want to use it just to win in a professional fight such as the UFC, you will lose because of having the wrong mind set.
ppl say this is not a real martial art? it is! this is a show... however, ppl arn't taking in to account that shaolin kung fu is really to have greater Qi flow throw the body. and thats what they are showing here, the are demostrating there Qi development.. they are not showing the martial aspect here... but make no mistake, this is an effective fighting style.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Bull shit demonstrations can't save this dying breed of martial art. San Shou is the modern evolution of kung fu. Thats the new chinese martial art. It resurrected the good parts of the old kung fu and got rid of the bull shit.
With as much detail as you can provide, what parts of Shaolin Kung Fu does San Shou keep and what parts does it eliminate? Why do you think agree with that approach?
What san shou keeps is the most basic and effective hand techniques along with basic and advanced kicking techniques. Throws and simple ground work is also included. What you don't see is the Chi Energy, The Deep Stances (i.e horse stance), the clawing, the knife hands, or any of the out of date bull that doesn't work. I agree with "that approach" because they keep the core effective elements and eliminate the cultural bull crap. Many practioners still include this cultur in thier training
the difference is they realize it is only of cultural relevance and doesn't work in a fight. I have no problem with KUng Fu as a part of Chinese culture any more than I have a problem with French Wine. The problem is when people buy into it as a legit fighting style
Look bjj1605, no matter what people say, what you see, u will never believe kung fu is "good". The only way for you to know is experiencing it. Looking how sceptical you are, u won't get it. Ur just slamming an art that has been around for thousands of years. Obviously the useless parts would be filtered out after so long right? BJJ came from jiu jitsu and u know that. You also know that it actually included Kiai right? Of course ur going to slam it, cause anything you can't do, u just slam.
I'm not being skeptical. There are many effective elements. As i said on this video or another, my best friend is a practitioner of Southern Praying Mantis. He knows some sick stuff but even he will admit the art is limited because it is weighed down in culture. San Shou is one of my favorite martial arts, and it stems directly from kung fu. I'm just offering an alternative view point.
woah dude. whats your problem. i'm not slamming anything. if you read carefully I never insulted kung fu. and i appreciate the contribution kung fu has had to martial arts. I'm sure at one point it was very effective. But because of various political regimes, lack of wars, and a culture that has now frowns on violence it has lost its combat effectiveness.

Qui Gong, if you study on that you'll see how. They transfer energy to different parts of there bodies with systamtic movements. It has been proven with heat detectors that it works. Crazy I know.
i would like to see how a shaolin fighter would handle a full equiped swat member... he won`t have time to say "whoaaa" ... he`ll get shot in 0.03 seconds
ok that was uncalled for first of all there is a diff between a guy with a gun and a guy with out a gun the guy with a gun would shoot the guy without unless their in a bar fight then the guy without would kick the other dude fucking ass bitch
The shaolin monks played an important role in military superpowers of China through out the entire 5000 years of scripted Chinese history.
Matter of fact, not all of shaolin monks specialize in martial arts, the ones who survive the many years of harsh training becomes generals and high level officials of China. Jet Li was trained under a rogue shaolin monk, Bruce Lee started his career of martial arts under the influence of Wing Chung , a form of martial arts evolved through shaolin.
hi, some assholes here, please update your tiny brains... the only rival on earth for china is the russia and usa, any other countries that want to war with china will be brutally beatan....
Dam right DRuegon. May as a humble civilian offer my thanks 4 your contribution to my safety far away in OZ. Kung Fu is not the fighting skill it was 100yrs ago now we have automatic weapons, missiles & devices of mass destruction but those that R dedicated & dare it can still save. May U grow to be old & happy with your lot. Thanks mate.
@ Saiga wutevr the hell ur name is ... i never said other martial arts didnt use chi i jus merely commented on bones comment that they are skinny as hell nd i said well their power doesnt come from muscles
i didnt diss any other form of martial arts but if u knew anything about bjj then ull kno they dont focus on anything called "chi" its all ground technique
therefore kung fu masters can pierce glass with sewing needles and bjj people cannot - simple as that
@wylukabone the power used in shaolin kung fu does not come from physical means its a form called chi - something kung fu has mastered to control - its the main reason why you dont see brazilian jiu jitsu people breaking bricks with their hands or on their heads
haha these video comments are so funny to me. They talk shit about these guys who are in peak physical condition. I bet you most of them could barely get up from the computer for another snack let alone practice complex martial arts.

wtf.. shaolin kung.fu is a whole other thing than wushu :S :P... u can say that wushu is a modern style in kung-fu,,, shaolin kung-fu have over 1000 years of history.. just want u guys to know :D
Cool Vid!, check out the link in my profile. I have my WEB CAM live running most of the time on that site, so if you want we can chat, I love chatting and being naughty.
Shaolin Kungfu, is kind of most practical and realistic one, among tons of kungfu styles in China. Shaolin kungfu was developed primarily to build the body and protect the temples from any invasion...
Nice choreography! Awesome skill in being able to put on such a show! Awesome athleticism, physical conditioning. Excellent knowledge of physics and how to use such knowledge to create an impression. Very good show business! Kind of like skillful wrestling and cheerleading.

Qui Gong, if you study on that you'll see how. They transfer energy to different parts of there bodies with systamtic movements. It has been proven with heat detectors that it works. Crazy I know.

The shaolin monks played an important role in military superpowers of China through out the entire 5000 years of scripted Chinese history.
Matter of fact, not all of shaolin monks specialize in martial arts, the ones who survive the many years of harsh training becomes generals and high level officials of China. Jet Li was trained under a rogue shaolin monk, Bruce Lee started his career of martial arts under the influence of Wing Chung , a form of martial arts evolved through shaolin.

My bad, Jet Li was a true shao lin monk who was favored by U.S.A president Regan.

Dam right DRuegon. May as a humble civilian offer my thanks 4 your contribution to my safety far away in OZ. Kung Fu is not the fighting skill it was 100yrs ago now we have automatic weapons, missiles & devices of mass destruction but those that R dedicated & dare it can still save. May U grow to be old & happy with your lot. Thanks mate.

@ Saiga wutevr the hell ur name is ... i never said other martial arts didnt use chi i jus merely commented on bones comment that they are skinny as hell nd i said well their power doesnt come from muscles
i didnt diss any other form of martial arts but if u knew anything about bjj then ull kno they dont focus on anything called "chi" its all ground technique
therefore kung fu masters can pierce glass with sewing needles and bjj people cannot - simple as that

@wylukabone the power used in shaolin kung fu does not come from physical means its a form called chi - something kung fu has mastered to control - its the main reason why you dont see brazilian jiu jitsu people breaking bricks with their hands or on their heads
mets7625 3 years ago
haha these video comments are so funny to me. They talk shit about these guys who are in peak physical condition. I bet you most of them could barely get up from the computer for another snack let alone practice complex martial arts.

Shaolin Kungfu, is kind of most practical and realistic one, among tons of kungfu styles in China. Shaolin kungfu was developed primarily to build the body and protect the temples from any invasion...

Nice choreography! Awesome skill in being able to put on such a show! Awesome athleticism, physical conditioning. Excellent knowledge of physics and how to use such knowledge to create an impression. Very good show business! Kind of like skillful wrestling and cheerleading.
