Shaolin monks are strictly prohibited from participating any competitive activities. nuff said.

[bailewen]

@VictorGWang "monks" run a regular sanda trainign camp there and they compete regularly.

This fight is about a year old. The "monk" has since been cross-training in Muay Thai and has won numerous fights since then. I guess after he got KO'd, he realized the limitations of just studying one style.

I just discovered Yi Long today and I think he has to be my favourite Chinese fighter :) very entertaining and can take some good hits. But we all know Muay thai smacks Kung Fu lol

@VictorGWang Of course! its be inserted in shaolin culture, because would more shaolin gaining so much money with this fights, but this men is more incredible.He get up so faster!

@bailewen well I am a sanda silver tiger (5th Duan) and I'm 100% sure Shaolin Martial Arts is not sanda. so if you ever see "monks" run sanda school, those are fakes. Shaolin monks do not compete, it's very clear in their doctrine. The only occasions for them to fight are self-defense and foreign invasion. besides, Yi Long said in Chinese, he's a Shaolin practitioner, not a monk.

Well,accroding to my knowledge,there are acuatly 5 Shaolin Temples, 2 in the north which never get burned,and 3 in the south got burned by the King cause he affraid they will rebell.So I could say the one in the north will be the original and very old one:)))

To the one say :"this monk got knock the f out" : u watch carefuly u see the monk taunt the american down 2,it mean in real fight that guy could been dead twice

@5till13lazin Actually no. they did not train the same way thousands of years. The Shaolin temple was destroyed a couple of times. The stuff of legends was of the old temple. The new temple, not a lot of people know real kung fu, more like Wu shu and sanshou. Though ring fighting HAS been evolving. Old kung fu was making yourself a weapon, and focusing on self defense and weapons training, not sport.

I' am a huge fan of Shaolin kung-fu, but if you've been training the exact same way for thousands of years, you will NOT improve. The martial arts world is constantly evolving, and the shaolin have not. That's why this monk got knocked the fuck out
