Chi is the energy taken by nature which flows right from the center (your tummy) all around (not in) your body... you just have to learn how to control it ^^ Tai chi and qi gong (chi gong or however you wanna spell it) are the two most common chi-based martial arts!! Shaolin monks normaly uses the second one to meditate and strenghten up there spiritual energy.
I've read alot about, who would have won if Bruce lee or a shaolin monk got into a ring... I'm sure there would have been no real winner! It's impossible to hurt a true shaolin monk at least for an amount of time, so he can't be defeated, but Bruce lee was most definetly the strongest and quickest fighter in the world! Jeet Kune Do (the intercepting fist) is about speed and power so there would be no hits by the shaolin - the winner would have been chosen by stamina only... btw everybody has chi
its not about who fight who win.. its about what we defend... the more responsible the more best fighter we become.. its what my master teach me.. i'm sory my english is weak, i hope y'all grab what i mean..
Geez.... Mr Youtube Warrior, your English sucks -__-
and what makes you think they didn't learn kung fu to fight? have you even spoke personally to them?
don't care for what reason some one chooses to learn martial arts. It just doesn't make sense calling them the best fighter in the world, if they haven't even used it in a real fight, because these monks live 24/7 in the temple and are not even being attacked by robberies anymore, so they can't apply their practices in reality
@FaridYM u r a fcking idiot, you dunt noe shyt, look dey fight people when dey haf to, not like some punks who walked down da street and mess with people nd do watever the da fck dey want. if you wanna see them fight just look up on youtube or google, btw, u so ignorant nd dunt get u ass kicked by at school
@ultrag0d monks wouldnt fight people even if people mess with them, dats the rule in shaolin, dey tend to teach people kungfu is not used to beat up other ppl but for your own good, i noe a chinese friend of mine told me dat ,but the truth is these people are real super humans. dey noe theres something else beyond human and its called chi i guess, dats y u cant penetrate ther chest with a spear, look it up if you want
looks more like a circus acts. What point is it to put a spear in your chest. When they do that, they first gather their chi for 5minutes before they do their trick.
@FaridYM dey can still do it u just dunt noe, and 5 mintues?? stop exaggreating. the point of chi is not just to fight, but to mediate and relax , why u always think about fighting, i bet u cant fight for shyt, u just punch a sackbag everyday, the punching bag doesnt fight back, that isnt get u anywhere
the punchbag doesn't fight back indeed but it makes the skins and bones stronger. Any martial artist would know that but apparently you're living in a shaolin dream where you can fly and play with swords kicking pots with shoes on.
Can you fight then? I bet you do because you're an invincible shaolin master aren't you?can you also break pots with your shoes on and hang yourself to a rope?
@FaridYM i never said im a shaolin master and stop being sarcastic because you not even funny, why u always pick on my English and tried to change the subject, look just admit u are a asshole racist igonrant hypocrite piece of fat.
@FaridYM my friend, you seem to lack the ability to see directly out of the context of things. when the shaolin is displaying the spear bending technique it is not try show that he can deflect an incoming spear with his neck. what he is doing is showing the level of conditioning he has achieved on one of the weakest points of your body, your throat. of course the spear is not razor sharp but trying to do it without even a spear head and you will see how difficult it is. How many years do you
@fiendin281 think it will take for him to achieve such a level of conditioning? 2 or 3 years? i doubt it. probably in the vicinity of 6 years of almost daily exercise. Now ask yourself this, would you dare challenge a man who has achieved that level of conditioning? he would literally kick the nose off your face before you even have a chance to blink.
I'm sure it is difficult to do something like this, however I think it would be better to condition your body with low impact strikes to these vital points and gradually increase the power so you may hit harder over time. This way your body also gets conditioned and prepared if you would be hit in battle on these parts of the body.
why should i try what he's doing if it's not going to give me any benefit? Let this guy fight for real instead of showing off lame circus acts.
Don't get me wrong, I do like it when the monks lay on a pillow of nails and then get a block smashed up by a hammer with high impact. That looks more impressive to me because it's done with force and speed then doing this spear thing, the spear thing is a trick
best fighters in the world and not one fight hhmmmmm and yall people believe this off of demonstrations and screamin like little girls. hhhmmmmmm how about yall should grow up and watch some combat sports were people actually fight such as mma, k1 kickboxing, boxing, muay thai, bjj, judo, and even wrestling. these demonstraters never fight if yall havent noticed by now unless its in a fake movie. if the shit worked people would use it in these combat sports!!! and guess what......they dont!!!!
@AK47powpow You have it backwards MMA or as people consider it now as UFC and Strikeforce are the ones that are fake its just like when wrestling came about with the chair bashing and shit. Monks, Judo, Muay Thai, etc have trained and trained Monks generally their whole lives not to smack each other in the head and tap out like little bitches but to know how to take down an enemy permanently and they have fought they killed many men over their existence simply because they believed men were evil
@superflyme356 wow i never knew someone could be as stupid as u. im not even gonna say anything els bc im actually speechless on how much of a fuckin idiot u are. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
@AK47powpow Imperial records in chinese history over a 1500 year period is enough proof that the ancient shaolin monks were effective in armed hand to hand combat and real warefare where you risked getting limbs cut off and death.Real shaolin monks are MONKS and the buddha says not to engage in work that harms other beings.Back in the day they used their kungfu for defense purposes in life and death situations and most of the time they used weapons for multiple attackers.
@oscie1 well buddy i hate to tell u that people dont use that stuff anymore. u either get shot or blown up. the past is the past for a reason my friend. time changes everything. people walk the streets with guns. ancient monk stuff will not help u lol. as for the fighting style. they were all about respect and honor thats y they never fought on the ground. they believed in a fair fight. all that shit is out the window now days dude. i woudnt practice this stuff at all for combat
@AK47powpow The shaolin temple was destroyed by canons and set on fire in 1928 so obviously the monks fighting skills wont work against guns.Secondly you would never be able to find someone who would teach you the real stuff because their are only a couple of real masters from the temple and they will not teach you the real method to gain martial power which can be applied to any style including MMA ./watch?v=qfzAptBftwU&feature=related, is a video of a top master.One of few
@oscie1 I don't really think there are many secrets. There is lots of info out there for those who care to seek it out. The thing is that those kind of training is often misunderstood by people who think you have to spend hours in the gym to get "strong". Kung fu strengthening is a slow, gradual process that takes decades - it is not the storm that moves the mountain: it is the gentle wind.
@DrSpooglemon The shaolin monks have secret knowledge that the rest of humanity do not posess.I know for sure.You can read up about it all you like but you will never find the complete secrets to gaining true strength.
@oscie1 Such is the mytholgy of the shaolin temple. I have not seen anything performed by the shaolin monks that I have not seen elsewhere. The reason they are so fit is because they train all the time, not because of any secret knowledge they possess. Infact I am not even sure they didn't learn from the outside as much as they invented. Their basic conditioning is certainly based on yoga. What do you know about kung fu? Watching movies does not count as research...
@AK47powpow You are an idiot. What does it matter what century it is? Guns and bombs aside, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat the principles are the same. If you knew anything about real kung fu you would know that fair fighting is not something that is stressed too much. Eye gouging, throat strikes, joint dislocation, etc. All things that are not allowed in the cage. I train in ju jitsu and I know that ground fighting is a fine thing so long as there are rules...
@DrSpooglemon no u r a idiot. belts give fat people false confidence. i was a red belt with 2 black stripes when i was 9 years old and i got my ass kicked by some random black kid then i started boxing and wrestling and lifting weights when i was 14. i got my ass kicked last week but that was by a 2 time world boxing champion and i still lasted 4 rounds. dude street fighting with no rules is simple. its common since to go for eyes and throat and shit. im not gonna take a gay art that doesn work
@AK47powpow I don't care what colour of belt you had when you were 9 from whatever McDojo you happened to be training in. You misunderstand me if you think that I care at all about rank. I don't care who beat in the street or in the ring whether they have trained in boxing or not trained at all. Whatever you regard as comon sense is also irrelavant. Believe what you will. I am not trying to persuade you to join any organisation. Anyway your original argument about guns applies to--->
@DrSpooglemon o ok i got u lol. but still lets just say this style is effective ( in my mind its not at all) but dont u think it would take a master to actually teach people this shit and not some fat ass who is stuck in the 70's and actually thinks he can bc he thinks its cool. im just sayin dont try to learn somethin thats not u. its different when a 5 foot asian man does it than ur average 5 foot 10 over weight man. if this style is the best our military would use it and again....they dont
@AK47powpow The israel military has borrowed a lot from chinese kung fu. Also do not underestimate the fat asses. My ju jitsu instructor is some what of a fat bastard(by his own admission), but I dare say he could hold his own in a "real" fight. Most martial arts classes are given by people who have basically learned a form of dance. They do not know how to apply their "art" in a real situation and they have little to offer in they way of wisdom. That's why Mr. Blackbelt gets his--->
@DrSpooglemon <--- ass handed to him out on the street by someone who has never trained in their life. But do not presume to comment of the efficacy of any art untill you undestand the concepts involved. You may just get YOUR ass handed to you by a wing chun guy at some stage and wonder WTF happened. For the record I don't think that shaolin is the greatest. I do believe it was provabaly better in the past when their lives depended on it.
@DrSpooglemon well i guess just stick to whatever works for the individual. no one style is the best. im just good ol american boxing and wrestling and i have held my own against all shapes and sizes so im stickin with my style. if u can find a monk ill fight a monk
@TaekwondoKid671 Real Shaolins don't exist since XVIII century, when the Quing dinasty destroyed all the monasteries belonging to or somehow related to the order as identified as hotbeds of revolutionaries. After the Temple of Henan was rebuilt, but it fell into a deep decline culminated with the destruction in 1928. Now the Shaolin Temple is only a tourist destination...
Shaolin è solo una trovata pubblicitaria del regime cinese, dopo che, grazie ai film di Bruce Lee, si sono accorti di poterci fare un sacco di soldi con le arti marziali.
Un buon thai boxer se lo mangia questo "best figher" della pace interiore XD
@saeed8765 i disagree man, they dont fight each other shaolin monks hand to hand kombat anderson silva would win easily, but yeah with a weapon poles swords etc they would kick any ones arse, like my point about anderson silva is its different hitting the air than when your face to face with a moving person who will attack back, watch my video on anderson hes like someone from matrix and please watch it all, yeah i idolise shaolin monks but i idolise silva soooooo much lol
@DragonClaw265 No. You're mistaken. Bruce Lee trained harder than ANY Shaolin Monk and he was also a LOT faster and stronger than ANY Shaolin Monk. There's no way a Shaolin Monk would've beaten Bruce Lee.
Are you stupid? A real monk trains way harder than bruce lee. They know more combat styles etc ...
Do you know any real monk?? This guys are hardcore. Sure, Bruce Lee was hardcore too. But against a real monk he would lose very quickly, believe me. Maybe if Bruce Lee were a monk and do this training with real masters he would be much stronger than he was. Bruce Lee is very overrated. Sry bruce lee fanboys. I read that Bruce Lee said that he is no match against these guys.
@RelevantTerror You are so funny. Bruce Lee could beat many mma fighters but not the 'real'' monks from china. You know I mean the 'real' monks not the fake monks we see mostly.
I thought you were the first guy I replyed to. He said that Chuck Norris is the best fighter in the world, which isn't true at all. Bruce Lee wasn't the strongest fighter but he was the best.
@saeed8765 you are totally right but fiy the ufc dont draft people who are too dangerous, like many people can kick their opponent and break their opponents leg, and a shaolin monk could snatch someones throat clean out of their neck. ufc dont want that tho
Idiot? why always with the obscenities? can no one simply discuss differences without becoming violent? I agree with you.They have some great skills and are in great shape. but Modern shaolin is run by the chinese government and only used as a demo team. I would be interested to see their fighting skills.

monks go to shows because there culture is dying. the monks used to survive on gifts and offerings from towns folk and villagers. donating to them and the monks would also grow there own food and all of that. but none of that brings in money for repairs or other things. and some also do shows and demos to show that the dying art isnt dead.
@jeff61177 woner why shaolin monks dont use weights? they train in fighting form instead of push ups, the moves u see in the clip is like a script highlighting the priorities in the fighting form. in real combat they use the combat form which is very different, ive seen combat Taichi and they are damn powerful.
@jeff61177 idiot lol u doubt there fighting ability omg hand 2 hand combat yeah they might get beaten by lets say a MMA fighter but lets see them have a fight with no rules and swords or wooden poles Shaolin Monk Owns hands down..
If they entered UFC after 20 to 50 losses, they would unstoppable. I LOVE THIS! I practice wushu but would like to practice Shaolin Qi Gong and Kung Fu too. ^_^

This is a way of life for them. They are not for tournaments or bragging rights but for enlightenment. You have to respect there self control, mediation, and mental strength. Takes years to learn this type of discipline.
@leebog31 You're right they are not in it for the tournaments, they have too much honour, but they are in it to make money off the stage shows, isn't that interesting.
They have the ultimate cover story it's along the lines of "None of us can ever fight because that would be showing off, and we have too much honour for that, but at the same time it's alright for us to show off in stage shows around the world with our circus carnival tricks, honour is no barrier there" Everyone just buys it.
You would look more knowledgeable by submitting a video of you challenging one of these monks than spouting unfounded bullshit over here. Anyway, Imma' sure these monks gonna' kick your ignorant ass big time.
@Skillking22 Yeah but you can't do a video of headbutting someone or punching people in the throat lol not that I do any of that, it's just I imagine that is what'd be useful, I'm right about what I said though, and these monks aren't gonna do shit, what are you fuckin talkin about? firstly everything I said was true, secondly they've far too much honour to bring their little 8 stone asses bothering me, I can't fight for shit anyway :)
You don't need to grab me. You need to grab them. So far, I see no proof but only rubbish talk from you. Admitting that you're just a chicken would be more honest for you.
@mingholio Yeah your right about that 100%These guys are men of steal.If we never owned guns then these guys would be the true rulers of the world.Close combat fighting is what these guys train to do.Any guy from the UFC,strikeforce,or anyother fighting force would def get torn to limbs by one of these Shaolin fighters.And im saying this as a UFC fan.These guys are too dangerous to fight in a sport like UFC so people who say"these guys would lose to a ufc fight"you don't know MMA"!!!
i hate dana white, i fucking hate him, now days all the fucking 14 year old kids know every freaking MMA fighter, i dont like it , dana i hope somebody will fuck u in thee ass and shoot your brains out, thanks for ruining the MMA for good fuckhead
ha shaolin monks are not fighters. they just practice for physical health, they don't even eat meat what makes you think they are going to fight someone except in the case of self defense
@kingbunti well your stupid, bruce lee is nothing compared to monks. if you do not know wong shun leung look him up he taught bruce lee and beat him one time because bruce lied to the other students.
@kingbunti never lol, everybody think bruce lee the best, i dont think so, because monks breaking iron, and there can handstand with one finger, i dont think that bruce lee that can, and if he can, must be not that he is better as shaolin.
@kingbunti no doubt bruce lee was he better than ALL these shaolin mnoks coz he trains only in fighting that simulates real life scenarios thats why hes so fucking successful in fights and win them ALL
shaolin monks suck. they cant compete in todays martial arts . thats why you never see or hear of one fighting now. they would get crushed because a new age martial artist would not respect them and just walk through most of there flash and just dump them on the ground. yes shaolin is cool to watch but thats all its good for.
Breaking blocks of steal with hands and head, standing ontop of thin bamboo, gliding in the air for seconds being able to move in the most dificult ways... not only that but they have seen the furthest parts of the mind and have an understanding that all humans are connected. When one person is hurt we are all hurt in a way that's why they don't use it against anything even when defending.
I've been following shaolin monks for awhile and as far as they know they do what they do to reach limitations humans believed couldn't be met. As far as the average person goes we are fragile and primative beasts. Shaolin shows that we are beyond anything in this world they have reached both mental and physical points that you cannot without training.
@ TheTransfigured bullshit.. I live in China, and am in the new MMA scene here. When I was a kid, I thought Kung-fu was awesome, and Chinese were the most honorable people around from watching kung-fu movies. Then I got into Jiujitsu, Karate, Boxing, and competing then I came to China, and found out that the only thing Chinese people do is lie, and only care about money. I know legit Gong-Fu (not kung-fu) guys here, and they would laugh at your statement.
@ismhmr 1STLY 4givemy blond fingered moment with uber miskey strokes! Again bollocks mate, I have lived in China, and like MA all over the wORLD, A LOT OF SCHOOLS are rubbish, and alot are quality, and some lay inbetween the 2. Gong fu is Cantanese kung fu is Mandarin, correct term historically is Wu su bub! I only went to the best schools in China, I do not fill my mind with rubbish like u do m8! MMA is a sport, Kung fu is a fighting system, I can knock u my magnetic m8, I practice REAL WU SU!
@TheTransfigured First learn to spell. Second, I am fluent in Mandarin. and Gong-Fu means hard work. Kung-fu doesn't mean anything, and was originally used for the TV show "Kung-Fu." and given the shows popularity schools that opened up in the west followed suite. Wushu means martial way, but isn't specific to any style. Instead it more often refers to the performance orientated routines as shown in the video which came to existence after the cultural revolution for martial law reasons.
@internetTOUGHGUY1000 Right... Keep drinking the Kool-aide. Go to the Shaolin Temple, train hard for a year or three or four, or do kung-fu down the street.. Then go home to any Jiujitsu, Muay Thai, or legit karate school, in sparring, you will get your ass handed to you.. Sorry, Chinese people are all about money, including monks, and if they could do MMA, they would jump right in for the extra cash.. Except they can't..
Not all chinese people are about money. Let's not generalize here plz...
Yes there is a lot of corruption and yes the current gov't of China has many administrative faults, but money matters exist everywhere and amongst all peoples. Martial arts can indeed be used for meditative and enlightenment purposes. As for the monks, call them legit or not legit or mix, they need to eat too.
UFC got nothing on these guys.

@AK47powpow Imperial records in chinese history over a 1500 year period is enough proof that the ancient shaolin monks were effective in armed hand to hand combat and real warefare where you risked getting limbs cut off and death.Real shaolin monks are MONKS and the buddha says not to engage in work that harms other beings.Back in the day they used their kungfu for defense purposes in life and death situations and most of the time they used weapons for multiple attackers.

@oscie1 well buddy i hate to tell u that people dont use that stuff anymore. u either get shot or blown up. the past is the past for a reason my friend. time changes everything. people walk the streets with guns. ancient monk stuff will not help u lol. as for the fighting style. they were all about respect and honor thats y they never fought on the ground. they believed in a fair fight. all that shit is out the window now days dude. i woudnt practice this stuff at all for combat
AK47powpow 7 months ago
@AK47powpow The shaolin temple was destroyed by canons and set on fire in 1928 so obviously the monks fighting skills wont work against guns.Secondly you would never be able to find someone who would teach you the real stuff because their are only a couple of real masters from the temple and they will not teach you the real method to gain martial power which can be applied to any style including MMA ./watch?v=qfzAptBftwU&feature=related, is a video of a top master.One of few

@oscie1 I don't really think there are many secrets. There is lots of info out there for those who care to seek it out. The thing is that those kind of training is often misunderstood by people who think you have to spend hours in the gym to get "strong". Kung fu strengthening is a slow, gradual process that takes decades - it is not the storm that moves the mountain: it is the gentle wind.

@DrSpooglemon The shaolin monks have secret knowledge that the rest of humanity do not posess.I know for sure.You can read up about it all you like but you will never find the complete secrets to gaining true strength.
oscie1 7 months ago
@oscie1 Such is the mytholgy of the shaolin temple. I have not seen anything performed by the shaolin monks that I have not seen elsewhere. The reason they are so fit is because they train all the time, not because of any secret knowledge they possess. Infact I am not even sure they didn't learn from the outside as much as they invented. Their basic conditioning is certainly based on yoga. What do you know about kung fu? Watching movies does not count as research...

@AK47powpow You are an idiot. What does it matter what century it is? Guns and bombs aside, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat the principles are the same. If you knew anything about real kung fu you would know that fair fighting is not something that is stressed too much. Eye gouging, throat strikes, joint dislocation, etc. All things that are not allowed in the cage. I train in ju jitsu and I know that ground fighting is a fine thing so long as there are rules...

I've been following shaolin monks for awhile and as far as they know they do what they do to reach limitations humans believed couldn't be met. As far as the average person goes we are fragile and primative beasts.

@TheTransfigured First learn to spell. Second, I am fluent in Mandarin. and Gong-Fu means hard work. Kung-fu doesn't mean anything, and was originally used for the TV show "Kung-Fu." and given the shows popularity schools that opened up in the west followed suite. Wushu means martial way, but isn't specific to any style. Instead it more often refers to the performance orientated routines as shown in the video which came to existence after the cultural revolution for martial law reasons.
