  • I adore these monks for their one of a kind way of discipline... Their movements are so precise and systematic.. two thumbs up or this video...! :)

  • I love how the monks are performing Kung Fu in full dress! I really enjoy watching martial arts movies and I loved the new movie “Films of Fury” that just came out on demand. It has some great fight scenes and clips from some of the best movies!

  • good

  • Sinhalsese buddhism clearly says ``This is not good This is sensual pleasure only`` Stop this

  • Does this documentary just assume that we understand the Chinese spoken in the interviews?

  • Why narrate the documentary in English, and then show people answering questions in Chinese without sub-titles? Its as if what they were actually saying were considered unimportant by the film makers. Disappointing.

  • Is the kung fu military arts in China?The South Korean says that the kung fu is mimicry of taekwondo.

  • @MettaulDady no its not.. monks dont really fight..

    maybe in the ancient times they do.. but now its like only a tradition

  • @MettaulDady

    Korean said Jesus Christ was Korean too.

  • And that's why you should never try to jack a Chinese man... chances are he knows kung-fu!

  • Why should anyone criticize any denomination of which they are not directly associated? This seems to be a reoccurring problem in many aspects of both east and western societies.

  • why couldn't they just leave the Shaolin Monks alone and leave the traditional ways because being money based defeats the purpose of being a monk

  • money is evil and men hold so tightly to it. if they held the teachings of buddha as tight imagine what the world would be. im a white man and am lookd at by many as a devil. i will not allow discrimination to cause hate in me. i thank my asian brothers for the knowledge and wisdom they have given me to change my perceptions. praise Buddha

  • Someone who speaks Mandarin Chinese please translate the Abbot's answer beginning at 12:06 It will be greatly appreciated!

  • If you want to know what he is saying go to CC (at the bottom right of the video) then transcribe audio... It will be clear after that.

    WARNING: laughing may occur

  • lol @TheSharpii 

  • grow a farm, be self sufficent, they arent crippled, by all means dont sell yourself like a hooker

  • do people reali think the monks are gonna live in the dark ages forever, its understandable that they need money to live =)

  • Thing is, they need money to eat and live, just like everyone else.. I seen them in limerick last night, and i paid 24 euro for a ticket, and it was well worth it, id have paid more if i had to

  • From this day forward, you will all refer to me as Betty.

  • @DuskfallBand LOL! you got that from Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. DUM but funny movie.

  • @MrMaxstil your right they should never turn something that means alot to chinese history into a place torist keep going

  • 9 monks are missing from this video, and they all come from the Shaolin Slum.

  • 5:31 Is that Monk doing something now? I've met a monk before, but I'm not sure if this is the one I met or not.

  • @newsearching This is monk shifu wang bo. He's teaching in the usa now.

  • @MartialArtsCN Yup, he's the guy. Thanks. :)

  • @newsearching No problem :)

    Peace

  • 6:02 - 6:08 I KNOW THAT FORM! IT WAS TAUGHT TO ME IN A SEMINAR BY ONE OF THE MONKS!

  • they are not corrupt... it just there are lot of fucking people disguised as a monk to get money from other people

  • im so glad they arent corrupted 5 of them could prob conquer the world

  • Recuerdo la introducción de esa serie de T.V. que dió a conocer a occidente al monasterio Shaolin: Kung Fu. "Se dice que un sacerdote shaolin puede traspasar paredes, ser visto más no ser mirado, ser tocado más no ser sentido, ser escuchado más no ser oido... el día que puedas caminar sobre un papel de arroz sin dejar rastro... habrás aprendido"

  • what happend in 3:10 oO?

  • chinese are short due to heavy exercise...?????????

  • :( 105 people disliked this because of how sad it is

  • fast and powerful.....

  • the cultural revelution, one of the sadest happenings that has ever happened to a country, Mao Zedong, i hope you burn in hell for what you did, seriously :(

  • @maiii0608

    I agree. I am 200% Han Ren and I agree if it wasn't for Cultural Revolution the Middle Kingdom would have again been the most advanced nation on Earth way faster than it is taking now.

  • welcome to learn Mandarin with me! :)

  • ooow cool:)

  • This is kind of sad... That all culture... Just sad...

  • well lol idc much for religion all i know is this shit is pretty bad ass hahaha i just wish i cld do this kinda stuff

  • well lol idc much for religion all i know is this shit is pretty bad ass hahaha i just wish i cld do this kinda stuff

  • I bet monks could break half the records in the record books

  • subtitles would be nice

  • This story breaks my heart.

  • OMG! for instant lulz turn the transcribe audio on for the captions. and just read the subs... lmao!

  • @TangomanX2008 In this moment I'm reflecting on my reply as well as yours. Much has changed, much Awareness progression on my end. At that moment of writing I had challenges with Religion and held pretty true to the philosophy of Martial Arts, Bruce's views but now I notice, just as Styles and Traditions are about holding onto the past and not growing..Bruce even said "Be like Water, My Friend." ..The only philosophy I respect is Love...everything else changes; we're all Energy; Chi. Peace!

  • china's capitalist system has corrupted the arts

  • i agree with you MrMaxstil white people ruin everything 

  • @thedraziw101 fuck you...don't kill innocent ppl?? the american policy in iraq is kill everybody on the street....american dogs are not that righteous, you fucking cruel dogs doing it for the sake of OIL....and 1 more thing, even if it's communist state america has no right to interfere in their internal affairs, there's no right or wrong in both capitalism and communism, even if it's a capitalist state like the USA the ppl's right are jeopardised and usa is turning into a fascist state.

  • @MrMaxstil i bet you sell your soul to christianity as well for submitting to all those craps in the testaments

  • @nguybui it's because we are all chinese, china will need reformation but not in a drastic measure that will cause instability and chaos within the states.....i bet you are not a chinese to begin with, you are a viet, so i don't expect you to understand...u said EVIL?? if that's the case americans are by far the most notorious, they have direct participations in wars across the globe and killing millions, for the past 6 decades the american used force to suppress their foes, isn't that inhumane?

  • @manchewl more like were killing communists and dictaters we dont kill innocent people name once where we just declared war on someone for no reason

  • @thedraziw101 Vietnam.

  • @Zenkuro um if you mean the vietnam war well we were fighting communists and we were helping sourth korea fight the communist north korea dont see that as a bad thing

  • @thedraziw101 And why did America fight communists in Vietnam?

  • @thedraziw101 korea, vietnam (including bombing cambodia who was NOT involved in the war), iraq, afghanistan, russia, and now lybia. and don't even think about starting that "helping the oppressed" bull shit.if we gave a flying fuck about helping people we would be working on helping mexico fight drug lords that are killing americans as well as mexicans. we are willing to interfere with internal affairs across the world, but couldn't care less about our own suffering citizens and neighbors

  • @TheAdrokk you are just too funny!

    >he doesnt know america is the only country as of yet assist in the japanese aftermath!!)

  • well, they are not real monks, they just normal people learning shaoling martial art

  • I am Chinese and most Chinese are complacent and don't like to get involved for a cause. That's why even though China has the second largest economy but most people live in poverty but people don't protest. Chinese will protest against other nations for anything. But they won't speak out against their own evil中国government because they love their regime so much. Brainwashed much?

  • You guys havent obviously been or heard of The International Yuntai Kung Fu school. Training is authentic from True Shaolin temple trained students. And you dont get cheated. You just need to have realistic expectations. Not going to china to live in a monastery with "real" monks is a start. This german is an OAF.

  • religions like catholics and christians are in the newspapers, toys, tv shows, movies, books, so why cant the monks show people what they do ?

  • @STATUSthesleepers u missed the point here tis not the monks who are doing the same it is people who just want to learn kung fu, they have taken one of the most honourable religions and turned it into a money making machine, monks dont see kung fu as a money making machine but a integral part of thier practices, along with zen buddhisum

  • they are trying to expand there following, like other priest. they do go to unorthodox length, but ya know the more the better.

  • learn chinese if u want to learn it , being a monk is hard ,

  • @Unknowndable for foreighner no way! monk can only be chinese i know it! but nothing is impossible so someone who really wants can try it!

  • I rly wanna become a monk, im only 16 now, but is it to late to become one? and how do i do it?

  • I especially like the subtitles ^^

  • maks me  sad to see

  • shaolin ar gr8 at kung fu real like it and gr8 ppl

  • Put subtitles in next time.

  • I would, I think, gain a better perspective if more of this were subtitled.

  • Ah fuck i hate tourism..

    this shouldnt be known as much as it is..

  • So it is okay to forget shaolin kungfu and look towards alcoholism, pornography, drugs. HMMM - i see the positive alternative . Not!

  • WHO WOULD SELL HIS SOUL TO SATAN TO GAIN POWER FOR SOME YEARS? HOW SAD.

  • Don't blame them for no longer being like actual monks because their country no longer believes in Buddha. Why??? FUckin Europeans with their White God then their own damn government destroyed them. No one really helps the monks no more because there is no charity in China now these days for these guys. THE WORLD CHANGED TOO MUCH THAT THEY HAD TO DO WHAT THEY HAD TO DO AND IT INCLUDING THE FILMS AND SELLING THEIR KUNG FU TO YOUNG FAGGOTS WHO MIGHT ABUSE IT LATER ON WITH NO WISDOM TO THEM.

  • @xiongkeng Actual Judeo Christian god is brown, the whole idea of Shaolin lifestyle is simplicity i.e they shouldn't care if the rest of the world sees them as silly or not. This coming from the point of view as an atheist mind you.

  • @xiongkeng that just shows our amazing genetics.

    the white race is superior, as proven after every trial and test history has given.

    conquered south America.

    conquered north America.

    spread our influence EVERYWHERE

    conquered most pacific islanders (thanks Britain)

    could've conquered japan but didn't

    there's much more that wont fit in this box, but you get the idea.

  • @noobsmasher123 2 things. just because you conquer a place, you haven't won everything. how many colonies does england have around the world now? it's called fighting back. look at china, india, japan. if you're american, some chinese man has your balls in a vice right now and could ruin your day at any time. all he needs to do is ask for his money back. and second, what superior genetics are you talking about? we have mapped human genetics and not found ANYTHING that makes whites superior

  • @noobsmasher123

    obvious troll lololololol

  • @animeisart1 dude im HALFWAY trolling you. most of what i said is true and you know it.

  • @noobsmasher123

    lol. trolls are so funny

    where do you think the term monk came from? its what our missionaries called them because of the similarities to our catholic monks, matter of fact a lot of catholic traditions come from what we saw over in china. for instance, the catholic shrines are derived from the buddhist shrines. (just look and both side by side) and honestly, we all know its the Jews that actually run everything. (who are not white) lol

  • @animeisart1 sooo you're agreeing with me?

    >labeled as monks because of WHITE missionaries

    >whites spread influence in chine, while in turn being influenced BY china

    also jews dont run shit, they use treaties to control the allied armies so they can protect themselves from unorganized goat herder rabble

  • @xiongkengYou like generalizing allot :first of all this "world change" you are talking about is calledcommunism which functions in CHINA. So therefore you are saying that europe and "the white God" is responsible for the goverment functionallity in China.Also you are implying that Buddhist monks only way of earning a living is through entertaining " young faggots". And how is a European goverment responsible for the lack of charity in a foreign country. Think about it before you spill your crap

  • @xiongkeng Some of us want to learn to better ourselves. Just because the world changes, it doesn't mean that all that came before will be lost.  The knowledge is passed on.

    And God is not white, nor does he belong to anyone. He is light, for no darkness exists within him.

  • @Cointossingkiller if god isnt white, whose the guy in the sistine chapel touching fingers with Jesus?

  • @titytit Who cares? It's just an art in a chapel, not the real thing.

  • @Cointossingkiller but my question still stands.....

  • @titytit Well, it can stop standing. God is for everyone, everywhere, anytime. He is neither prejudiced nor malevolent. And that painting doesn't count, as it is just a piece of art on a ceiling

  • @Cointossingkiller gods a cunt......

  • @titytit Oh, well. I tried. But your mind's made up.

  • @titytit First of all, hi is touching fingers with Adam,

    Second, it was artist's own idea of what god might look like,

    And Third, just shut the hell up. It's idiots like you who keep ruining Christinanity.I wish Christiananity never made it to Euroupe and just stayed in Israel or another Midle Eastern country so you Europeans don't mess it up like you did with other things.

  • @marioskywalker64 so you wish christianity stayed somewhere it would get buttraped by the muslims 500 years later?

  • @marioskywalker64 I thought Christianity was all about love :D Aren't you too agressive for a believer? ;)

  • @Flameberg2k Islam was about love, too. But every once in awhile comes an idiot that completly abuses the religion and makes it worse. And its up to some people to stop it from going down the crapper.

  • @marioskywalker64 and how are you making something better with that amount of hatred? You're being ignorant - simple fact.

  • @marioskywalker64

    Islam is about love what a joke. Funny, you should be a clown bring up more things

    like Islam is about peace, harmony. The ones you call idiots are true muslims who are blameless

    accordingto the qu'ran and Islam. All westernes please stop talking about budddhism, islam or hinduism,

    you simply don't grasp what they are about. It's unknown area for you. Don't make a fool of yourselves.

  • @Zarahification well said. remember to mention that the koran was written by ONE MAN, who probably crafted everything to fulfill his own desires

  • @xiongkeng same thing happened to europeans and their "white God".... He was sold to young faggots who abused it later!

  • @xiongkeng i thought buddhist monks were supported in Indochina and china?

  • @xiongkeng If you respect Buddhism and your fellow Chinese countrymen, I suggest you not post angry comments anymore - remember that, since you are Chinese (and seem to be making quite a *presence* on YouTube comments), people who read your comments may judge the Chinese as a whole by your behavior.

    I agree with you. Buddhist monks used to live off alms since they weren't allowed to have money and these days they need money to keep the temple running, but please don't give China a bad name.

  • @xiongkeng And if you *do* believe in Buddha, then remember that all living things are supposed to have the nature of Buddha. You must be tolerant and gentle to all things as not to cause suffering. I hardly imagine the monks of Shaolin (or any other religious order, for that matter) would be proud of you saying "Fucking Europeans with their White God", even if they don't believe in that "white God". It's racist and insulting and contrary to the teachings of Buddha.

  • @AndyRaslan how are you supposed to not harm any microorganisms? they are living things too, you know. every time you wash your hands you kill billions of them. that is totally malicious.

  • @xiongkeng That not true. China is still almost fully budda.

  • @xiongkeng

    m8 what ur saying is all wrong as u said eauropeans with their white god im a muslim and we dont believe in no jesus but dont insult other religions the problem is with the white eaurpeans who only care about money and ruining other countries iraq a living example, blame the ppl never the religion god bless you

  • @trank369 word. greed is destroying the world

  • @doncabron23 has been since the begging of time... greed is human nature no matter how much you deny it

  • @kushbudz1000 not denying it. all your emotions and feelings can be controlled tho

  • @xiongkeng shut the fuck up retard , instead of blaming europeans and christianity blame chinese commie party , and their oppressive atheist ways .

  • @xiongkeng u are FUCKING right

  • they sould try use the shaolin to play soccer xD

  • if you want 少林功夫 be known by everyone. Why not ask monk to participate in UFC,or K1.

  • 98 people tried to do this

  • 3:08 background haha

  • A few years ago they were about to die out in obscurity, now they are about to die out in commercialization.

  • What A big hoax, this video is full contradicions. call it a shaolin school bud budhism has nothing to do with.its like if i would open a catholic school and dont teach any religion. i guess the few real monks will not be find at place at this but retreated somwhere else

  • I dont know why people are hating on this - they are presenting an artform that the rest of the world would have no idea about otherwise - is it supposed to be for free? I mean im assuming they have to eat too!

  • Sad, so very sad.

  • As a buddhist, this really disturbs me to watch. Is there anything that China touched/stolen that hasn't become a money making tool?

    95% kung fu, 5% spiritual practice.

  • goooood my slave army

  • Where is the buddhism in this? so sad.

  • They're Buddhist they don't believe in a soul.

  • @Vigreybrance i think they are quite right

  • Be nice if there was some translation...

  • Guys shaolin is a effective martial art you know the reason why you dont see much of thier training and martial art because it is not to be used in fight they have cool moves so they can earn money for thier communtity if it wasnt for thier demonstrations thier would be no shaolin temple they didnt sell thier soul WTF?

  • موووت الالماني

  • It isn't Zen buddhism. Only the ignorant call it 'Zen' buddhism. Surely it's Chan Buddhism. Zen is the Japanese term for it and is never used in China or to describe the Chinese Buddhist practices.

  • All fake. 都是假的. Just want to use Shaolin's name to make money!

  • all chinese haters why do you search on thesse videos if you hate it so much?

    I dont se we do the same to you so get a better hobby please.

  • china's got talent

  • Get this monk a movie career!

  • Comment removed

  • They have the moves, but they sold their soul

  • @MrMaxstil , sold their what?

  • @DroopyDog17 Well you cant realy say that they are real monks anymore, since they take money. A monk is supposed to live by the religion or in this case the philosofy and nothing else. In order to be real monks they must free themselves from all material.

  • @MrMaxstil u dont know that for sure chinese people are really good and nice pepople i dont think they would sell there souls there way more smart than americans im not chinese but i realy like them there cutral and smart people stop judging them shit

  • @TheMelo813 I'm not saying that they are bad people. but they are bad monks. They shouldn't even call themselves monks if they transform the temple into a turist atraction.

  • @MrMaxstil shut the fuck you dont know nothing! soul cant be sold hahaha! you dumbass!

  • @Ultimativnaruto "Sold your soul" is just an expression. You know that, right? If you don't.... then I'm realy curious about who is the "dumbass" around here.

  • @MrMaxstil how they get to travel the world after coming from remote villages they help the shaolin temple keep the tradition going and inspire others to pick up the martial art

  • @MrMaxstil we all work for capitalist dogs, they didn't sell their souls

  • @MrMaxstil once you are a shaolin monk, you can care about money we are the ones doing it the wrong way

  • @MrMaxstil i don't think so...i think they only want the world to see what they're able to do

  • @MrMaxstil shut up, you have no idea what you're talking about.

  • This temple makes a lot of money just by tourism at the temple, now they are touring other countries and they are still making money! lol

  • @yuning83 The temple's higher level monks probably all have a MBA degree from somewhere.

  • 中国人は他国人になりすましていろいろ書き込んでいる馬鹿げたや­つらだ

  • 中国人はみな共産党独裁政権に強力に洗脳されている

  • for all you igorant assholes who believes everything Amercians say, america's got daker history than any other country! It's all the fucking propagandas and lies of US! They spread shit to contries who are developing really fast, countries like China, they lie about anything that's threatening their dominace in the world, they say Cuba is full of terriosts and Castro is a dictator, yet i've been to cuba and all the people are happy, so shut up and show some respect to a rsing country, fuckers

  • @guymoron America invades so many countries and has had so many genocides and kills so many babies! What a dark country...What in the world are you spewing man? You talking about assholes in America then yeah, there's lots of them. 10% of Cuban population tried to escape to America last year... they kind of disprove your point.

  • @guymoron .cuba is happy?not even. cuba is a shithole and america is beyond overrated. china?you can hvae all the cars and mobile phons oyu want but you dont even have basic rights and freedom,sad really.

  • the real monk will not teach someone who is not monk

  • @ufohk its nt tat. the monks teach those tat wans to learn these to do good. if the have bad intentions behind learning. then no monk would teach.

  • why is there no translation?

  • these guys dont look so tough. i'll kung fu there asses

  • In China some people eat human meat!!!!!!!!! Add meat in products, They it is simple not people, and lines!! Distribute this reference to everything that all have learnt that on our planet there are cannibals! We AGAINST China!! netdichvu. com/?q=node/23 - (detele blank)

  • @hjpvnrus really??in china,chinese eat human meat?? never heard about that in China! but i know  this shit in U.K,I can really feel how people jealous of China.they wish whole world hate Chinese! Because of JEALOUS! how mean!

  • What's with the lack of translation on some journeyman videos?

  • the shaolin temple has had a lot of trouble, in the past and unfortunately there is a lot of commercial nature there right now, but sying that, i know for a fact that the traditional martial arts of shaolin still exist.

  • Typical of all Governments run by politician parasites to take something spiritual and devalue it for their own means.

    Nothing is sacred when it comes to world leaders fulfilling their own agenda's !!

  • Monks stole my fruit.

  • Funny and cool

  • The captions for during the anthem are fucking ridiculous...

  • the translate caption feature needs alot of work, it is not very accurate

  • What a waste of time they should be makin my shoes.

  • This is a ordinary show. True art lives in silence and mystery . And arm art today - not kung fu, but new knowledge of a human body, now is not necessary aggressive poses and jumps. Modern westrn man l has new ways for influence to another's force and will.

    Exlusivly .... the intellectual can have it today , its western organism - is unique. But he needs the enough of sensibility and readiness to obey to true Master ( not eastern), that understands modern karma of the West.
