i am surprised at how surprised most of you are about shaolin kung fu having legitimate practical applications, take downs, grappling -- yes, that's right...grappling.

it is a far more complete system than it's given credit for.

there's nothing more terrifying than when you lose control of your legs to an opponent while fighting...

@VietzRus so lots of Indian arts and cultures r lost!!!!! if Bodhidharma or anyone from India did not take anything from shaolin I request you not to compare with the present day arts like you mentioned!!! (THE ORDER of the discussion was changed during posting but please check it!!)

[TheSomnathchatterjee]

@VietzRus hitory still living!! however, Bodhidharma might not be the only route of cultural exchange!! ancient Universities like Taxila University where lots students used to come from different countries to have Buddhist and Vedic teachings. As they used to teach Vedic 16 arts archery and fighting was also there, and I'd like to mention here one student from Taxila became the first emperor in Indian subcontinent defeating the Greek invaders etc., nd taxila was later burnt by foreigners ...

@VietzRus like the ( cont. from the kallori payat discussion...) British govt. banned on it and different times in the past that art and other Indian arts were lost. if you watch Shaolin style carefully lots of dissimilarities can be found between other martial arts and shaolin it is clearly different from other martial arts.. it consists of disciplines and concentration which we often heard Indian stories but not found in present India only found in Shaolin of China, it is like a part of ...

@TheSomnathchatterjee however, I hav watched kalloripayat very keenly but the way it is performed today is devoid of the very basic rule of yoga that is keeping your spinal cord straight!! BUT is found in shaolin, and it is said that kalloripayat was founded by "Parashuram" but the axe effect ( a bit joking) is not in that art. However, the kalloripayat people are very good in weapon movements and jumps( they do that really well). what 'm trng to say is that that art was also lost in time...

@VietzRus and now a days it is been said that bodhi dharma might be a myth, but however this myth(??) is very strong as it is present both in China and Japan and even in Shaolin temple!! shaolin temple was burnt too( for twice at least I think, please, find right figure) thus loosing lots of documents on it and books of techniques!!!

[TheSomnathchatterjee]

@VietzRus sorry bro I was not present for some good and bad reasons!! however I am an Indian, shotokan karate 1st Dan black belt ( sho-dan,), and I hav deep interest to know the origin of martial arts from my child hood, thats why I know some of the present day living Indian martial art kinda things. but let me tell you something even Indian classical dance was lost in time and artists restructured that by watching the statues of temples!!!

Remember that a shaolin monk can break stones with their heads, so if he's attacking you this low and you try to elbow his head when he goes for your feet to loose your balance, you are history!

I USED TO BE A SHAOLIN MONK BUT THEN I TOOK AN ARROW TO THE KNEE!

[Uberboy07]

that karate guy is like "Fuck I yield!" lol

[VietzRus]

@TheSomnathchatterjee as for Qi Gong in India, there is non but a system thats different but has similar trappings and teachngs, look up the CHAKRA system of India.
