[gokharol]

I kinda like him, hes became funny after a while

[Antin0ob567]

[BukLaoRulesYoAll]

[hansel518]

@sabbaloko I'm pretty sure he's saying "Horse Stance"

[sabbaloko]

@hansel518 yea lol.

[MegaSkillrex]

@DorritoDoggg He's actually trying to say "Horse Stance." Fyi, if you care.

[TotesMagotes]

@MsDumnut

:) well put

[teamSOAairsoft]

HEY YAHHH

[FeiLong2310]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with those who want to learn.

[feeshmaninpisa]

how long is the staff?

or how long should the staff be to the user?

[akaFobb]

@feeshmaninpisa It should be approximately your own height, so when you're swinging it, it won't hit the floor.

That's the way I was taught at least.

[kungfudomic]

@feeshmaninpisa it seems like it is just above your height

[RevyNai]

@feeshmaninpisa Bos are 72" inches (6'). Sometimes you can get them 5'.

[wushichuanfa]

does anyone know of a video demonstrating the ferocious enchanted staff of the ancient fighting monks?

[MorteWulfe]

This guy seems to actually know how to teach. That is a good thing.

[RnJulo]

he's very good ..

[Colafreakz]

And how exactly do we know that this guy is a real shaolin monk? Doesn't really look like one.

[lemons873]

@Colafreakz Check out his website, he grew up in china and began learning at the age of three.

[dynastyflygon]

omg, i took kung fu for like half a year and im still at the basic stances (horse stance, mountain stance, cat stance, twist stance and crane stance), stretch kicks, blocks and rotations

but i dont regret it at all, unlike taekwondo or other martial arts that make you go directly into the kicks and punches, unless you had years and years of experience, the kicks and punches will probably miss, if they hit, they will probably feel like taps and knock themselves off balance

[AThagoras]

@dynastyflygon "i took kung fu for like half a year and im still at the basic stances"

You have a very good school. Don't give up!

[TheSpunFire]

Too bad the Shaolin Monks are non-violent...

[btrain7898]

THANK YOU FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE NYC. MY 7 YR OLD SON IS WATCHING AND ACTUALLY LEARNING.

[charleywurz]

this is AMAZING! i've been to the shaolin temple in Henan and i was so impressed there that i really wanted to continue my kung fu traingin further when i cam back to the U.S. This is definitely a difficult thing to master but i hope i can at least learn some bo staff kung fu so i can further inprove later on :)

[metalmaster014]

shaolin kung fu was made to help people protect themselves and their farms from wild animals and people, they used regular farming equipment, they still practice with those farming tools today

[sk8ting4lyfe]

sounds like hes saying "i need tofu" XD

[Alazurii]

thank you for the moves i scared away a mugger just doing these

[belisariusorb]

@Alazurii great result, keep up the training - you just used it for exactly its purpose

[MiniSensei7000]

i think this will work in a real battle!

[always4445]

Greetings , and thank you for this vidéo , your demonstration is very good , please keep the good work .

[MrTonysilver]

dude these vid wont play

[RockManAU]

Looks like good Shaoilin K F to me

Rock On

[IndependenceFilms]

Those are killer shoes he's wearing.

[thestr8metaledge]

I notice his (the instructor's) staff has a slight curve to it. Is that something that happens to waxwood over time, or do they just tend to come that way? I'm just wondering because I've been thinking of getting a waxwood staff.

[westre]

Waxwood staffs tend to have a fair amount of variation in thickness, curvature, etc, as they are actual branches. They tend to taper to a smaller diameter at one end. That said, that are delightfully strong and flexible, and in my opinion a lot more fun to wield than a bamboo or rattan staff.

[HiberniaX]

Just FYI a 10 Ft 3/4" of Pvc Pipe is avaliable at Home depot for about $2.50 USD. when wrapped inelectrical tape they become nice ligth flexilbe practice staff

[badhorsy2003]

Thanks! Great advice! hard to find something that has good flex

[ryan52620]

if you want cheap go to home depot or lowes and look in the molding section it's called round stock it's about 1.25 USD a foot get a six foot section and its 1 1/4 diameter or get a mop lol

[amro0sh0]

its a buitefull vedio but i can not download it

[jikininki1]

hahaha yea i use a mop stick

[AgentJohnKimble]

15$ for a bo staff..outrageous

[LilJay03]

lol you can make a bo staff for free right xD

but yea a wax one's good though and they last

[TotesMagotes]

Good video btw

[paywaga]

for me ill be using a broom or a mop to do it.

[johndekool]

haha, that's what i use!

[MrEpicme]

can any1 be so polite to say what a good size bo staff for me is? i'm 1m and 73 cm.

Thanks

[AChrisPoultonFilm]

Hey, i am the exact same height as you and i use a 72 inch Rattan staff, good size! i also have a 50 inch Jo Staff just to train little things with. hope that helps.

[xPzBx]

how tall is that in feet and inches?

[KNOWER96]

Then you should use a staff thats your size like 1m and 73-75

[acquiesce022]

typically it should be (1) hand length longer than your body height. If you can't find one "your size", goto a building supply store (like Home Depot or Lowe's) and buy a 1" pine dowel, I use one for home training and aside from cheap, they're easier to cut to size.

Hope this helps.

[sk8eroz]

about 1.87

[Bigkn33s]

i was taught to get a staff either your size or 6 inches (15 centimeters) taller. It has to fit between those specifications

[dominick649]

AH ME TO FU

[Sifufaster]

the belt system is not kung fu,Gung fu ison sash/level system and seniority is based on when you entered as a disciple. belts you find in Korean and Japanese disciplines.

[Tronus14]

Dont forget in brazilian disciplines as well :-D

Other than that, Sifufaster is right. Traditional Kung Fu doesn't use the belt system. . . Unless you are talking about cheap Christian Martial Art knockoffs or less reputable schools in the US

[squallgf88]

with all the respect sifufaster you are 50% wrong and right, the wrong side is that actually yes kung fu has belt system there is wu shu what means martial arts in chinese they use belt system... to be nominated "sifu" you must be black belt... if not they you are not a "sifu"

[xPzBx]

gong fu is how you say martial arts in traditional chinese

[specioss]

lol im a brown belt in kung fu.

[TotesMagotes]

"Kung fu" practitioners go by sash.

[specioss]

uh no they dont, not always

[MiamiiDragon]

traditionally they do

[MsDumnut]

@TotesMagotes real kung fu has no rankings

[MsDumnut]

@TotesMagotes nope



[TotesMagotes]

@MsDumnut

Tell it again

[nkosi8472]

brown belt there is no belt in kung fu

[bushidoandsamuraido]

add me if ur into warriors and marshall arts.

~WARRIORS UNITE~

[UrbanNiceties]

... martial?

[ryansheikh49]

i like these all videos thanks you guys

[smutery]

yay seems that my bamboo stick is not so bad after all xD

[thebone2009]

sei un maestro

[Naraku1987]

I practice with the Bo, but these seem way lighter then the hard wood ones we use. Would require friggin amount of muscles to pull that of with a normal bo.

[zodiak121]

i think you do the japanese bo the chinese staff ( guan) is more bendy .

[maevista]

Of course its more bendy, its bamboo,the japanese uses cherry tree to make their traditional staff.

[zodiak121]

its made out of wax wood

[ShadowxVincent]

its wax wood

[Seirios86]

this specific move seems useless :P

[fatmanontherun]

basics are improtant to advance into killer techniques

[Ming1975]

@fatmanontherun

Dude, All it take is an evil mind to kill. Any child can poison the drinking water system and get alot of people killed. Defeat is not the same as getting killed. There are un-civilise people in this world who would rather kill you than to admit defeat. I hope you understand what i mean and why "not killing" is a noble thing.

[tuvietthanh]

0:49 LOL, adida phat!, amitabha buddha!

[UnderstandingAll]

OH MO TEE FOE! lol respect

[tcicchetti]

Train harder more chi

[msohed911]

nice moves and nice demonstration

[twelfthnight1]

Eee, I want to do that. I need a staff. :)

[tineseturtle]

Excellent breakdown of the form and instruction. Do you teach at a facility? If so, where?

[pianodud777]

Wow great tutorial,but the volume is too low...

[sjokolade147]

Good Teacher!

Xie xie ni!

[unguiltymartyr]

learning from a teacher hands on is the best way to learn any kung fu, but videos like this can help someone to get a general feel for something before they attempt to learn things like, breathing, weight distribution and timing of all the limbs. These points along with the philosophys of the forms , can only be taught correctly face to face.

[MusicMonkeysAreAlive]

true theres no instructor around where i live so i learn the basics from the videos and ones i have an instructor ill pwn xd

[grant1223]

this vid isnt as good as wot i can do with a stick........... lol

[CG0R3]

hah that kids his bitch

[LRMMcDonnell]

great form!

[Aaron01f]

what a dickhead thats it jus cheap

[grandmastereazye]

nice tutorial man!

[DrDFish]

aspartame causes cancer its in gum and diet soda

[TREman2300]

tally me banana

[Brando8344]

dont swear it's bad

[BadBlueBoy213]

do you people know why hand to hand combat and this are one of the oldest forms of shaolin kung fu? you noticed the staff is not a bladed and a non lethal weapon, that's cuz they wanted to make their oponents survive (a sword would be lethal) after defeating em, cuz they believe every human is a good person inside, so they wont kill him but try to change his mind... wonderful philosophy...

[Lintriel]

yeah, they hold all people in the highest respect. everything has a purpose and a reason to live.

[slade88green]

The staff can be one of the deadliest weapons. It was used to devastating effect by French soldiers. A solid hit by a staff can crush skulls. Like any weapon it can be used in a non lethal fashion, but it is most definitely not non lethal.

[Brando8344]

ur sush a nerd lol

[SeijiiNakamaru]

If you're gonna dis someone, learn to spell.

[jellytastesgood]

who asked you for history on bo staffs and french people? gawd just shut up, we dont want to hear how much you know. just watch the vid.

[ZoeNightshade]

i didn't know that the French soldiers used staffs to fight, i thought they used other weapons.

[SeijiiNakamaru]

I agree. In 1600's japan (samurai and ninja time), the staff caused the most deaths recorded. More than the katana, to most people's surprise.

Everyone else should quit, it's just a side note, and you all shouldn't take badly.

[zer0sniper17]

well thats how some shaolin staff users were but staff is a very deadly weapon. it doesnt have to be sharp to be deadly. its the most effective weapon melee weapon in my opinion. the reason y it is just a stick is because it came from farmers who didnt own any weapons so they had to improvise to fight back

[JointCracky]

@BadBlueBoy213 yea... good point.

[super1commenter]

@BadBlueBoy213

The actual truth is that a staff or anything that resembles a staff is very common on streets and is very effective, that is why the chinese uses them. Also, a staff could also be deadly. And many shaolin kung fu taught nowadays could be fake, because after the burnout of one of the shaolin temples, many writings and documented books are lost and so is many traditional shaolin kung fu, history, and healing methods.

[Kniitte]

@super1commenter there is no fake shaolin martial art; it's just more improved & they tried to recover most of the kung fu ( the ones who escaped ) there are wushu people who wear monks clothing but who are not monks ( just wanted to tell people that )

[super1commenter]

@Kniitte

Ther IS fake shaolin martial arts. Some shaolin temple you see nowadays and MOST classes that says that they teaches shaolin kung fu actually teaches some modern day china martial arts rather than traditional shaolin kung fu. And I KNOW that there are people who wear a monk's clothing but are not monks, what's ur point? Just like a man wearing skirt doesn't make them a woman!

[Kniitte]

@super1commenter I JUST SAID IT FOOL; those so-call fake martial art is WUSHU but GUESS WHAT? you NEED TO FUCKING NEED MORE HISTORY BEFORE YOU EVEN SAY ANYTHING, i learn wushu AND GUESS WHAT BITCH? im mad & what did you mean by " SOME shaolin temple" tell me, how many shaolin temple are there? and you know how long shaolin martial art have been on the face of earth? everything traditional will sooner or later lose some of it fundamentals but it does not mean you can go around callin stuff fake

[super1commenter]

@Kniitte

You obviously either do not learn martial arts, or is bad in learning martial arts. A good martial artists doesn't get agitated like that over something like this. Guess what? I tell you, there are MANY shaolin temples in the world, but only a few are real. I also did not say that this stuff is fake, I just said that there are many fake shaolin temples and so called shaolin martial arts on earth. A significant of shaolin kung fu had been destroyed due to the fire, not just over time.

[Kniitte]

@super1commenter guess what bitch, im human, i do get mad, just cause i learn martial art it does not mean i have great discipline of my anger; there is only ONE shaolin temple & that's in song shan; if i may correct you; the temple was destroyed but guess what? there were survivors so they rebuild the temple, they couldn't fully bring back everything but they did developed new techniques let me ask u this did u learn martial art too?

[super1commenter]

@Kniitte

If you learn martial arts and fail at controlling yourself, you failed at learning. The shaolin temple in mountain Song is the original one, but other temples had also been built, distributing martial arts, and most are not shaolin martial arts. After they rebuild the temple, many books are lost and many information are gone, but however, some new techniques are made again. So a lot of people are teaching "kung fu" in the name of shaolin, which is bad. Also, I learn learn martial arts.

[Kniitte]

@super1commenter first, yes i admit at failing at controlling my emotions but that does not effect me while i train or affect my other disciplines & if you learn martial art; you also know that you shouldn't degrade any type of other martial art, whether if it's fake or real that should be the first thing you learn and as far as i know, even the chinese government only consider the song shan shaolin temple the only shaolin temple there is & i know about the temples before song shan also

[super1commenter]

@Kniitte

Actually, I did not degrade any other martial art, I just said that there are some martial arts that have no relationship with shaolin kung fu, but says that they are shaolin kung fu, and that there ARE real shaolin kung fu existing.

[charleywurz]

@Kniitte there is also a shaolin temple in Henan, i would know, i went there. :)

[hatesphereB]

@BadBlueBoy213 great comment. now my training makes even more fun :)

[planetcop]

WHAT U DOING? HAHAHAAHAAA

[largearthur]

nice comments by edtheracistboy1234 and nazimaxh

[PynqStar]

Thank you for demonstrating one of the oldest forms of Shaolin Kung Fu. I'll scroll down, read the comments and hopefully see EXACTLY why you all built your Great Wall of China in the first place.

[crockersafreak]

edtheman1234 your a dick head

[just6822]

His stance is so solid... o.o

[Sexyduffman420]

i wanna see him fight the little kid :)

[Hustler205]

he'd prolly kick any one of our asses

[jxcream]

no offense or anything but i dont see that winning you any fights anytime soon

[zer0sniper17]

its not meant to fight dumb fuck. its meant for training.

[MusicMonkeysAreAlive]

lol if someone chases u in the forest u pick up some staff and kick his ass

[chrijoe04]

you dickhead.

[notmaxh]

shut up

[chrijoe04]

you dickhead. asshole.

[chrijoe04]

you sonuvabitch.

[Sobek501]

Great Video. I agree with Happymunkee, But the net is all some have, plus its a good start.. The teacher breaks it down pretty well..

[CommanderUTube]

It looks so easy. But when I tried it, I wobbled on my legs, both the uplifted left and the right one. Hell, there is a better way to earn a living. Not to mention having to bald one's head. Prince Charles would not approve! Still, I enjoyed the earlier exercise that really helped to expel wind. :)

[happymunkee]

honestly, lol, this stuff is the kind thats not meant to be learned off the internet like this. Especially when learning, people just copy down the motion and don't do the moves correctly

[daodren14]

well they may do the moves correctly but not understand them they may think a block is a strike or sumthing

[happymunkee]

yeah yeah exactly

no basics involved...like people might not have the strength or flexibility to do some stances...or not do them at all and neglect them and just learn the staff moves

[zer0sniper17]

well if they copy the motion then doesnt that mean they ARE doing it correctly? i dont think the internet is a bad way for learning. the internet is just modern day communication method. the only bad part is not having a teacher there with you. definetely not for someone new to martial arts but to a mildly experienced fighter it would be possible to become a master. i learned x treme bo staff and practical bo on the internet and (in complete modestly) won a couple 1st place medals

[3rdeye47]

cool :)
