The reality of it is this. In order 4 one of these monks to preform this technique they have to prepare themselves mentally be it either braking briks with thier hands or Iron body techniques. Im yet to see any kung fu master preform any of these moves while theyre getting attacked and verbally abused in the streets or the UFC. Why? its because of psycology. simply put: YOU CANNOT ACCESS FINE MOTOR SKILLS WHEN YOU ARE BEING ATTACKED SO REHEARSED MOVEMENTS BECOME USELESS

That's one way of seeing it. But I'd rather not piss off one of the monks at night in a dark alley... some of his rehearsed movements may turn out to be very useful... and I'd be the victim.

I'm a freak because I spoke the truth? Face it, I called you out. These comments are in the public. You weren't speaking to me, but I am speaking to you. You are a dumb ass.

@siumingpakua lol you have no idea :D:D

What lineage, people? Kids that train kung fu in normal schools can be picked to go to the temple and to train, later they are given the opportunity either to stay and teach or gtfo. About this show: those people are chosen by: their master because of their skills and second, by the director if they combine a little acting. This show is not just kung fu, its acting also, but its still impressive. These athletes and showmen you call them, they learn shaolin kung fu, these are just demonstrations.

i actually met a lineage from shaolin in vietnam..he's 70 years old and his grandpa use to be in shaolin..becuz of the revolution his grandpa got away from shaolin and later taught his son shaolin martial arts...but his son end up killing a goverment official's son..so he had to move to vietnam while the grandpa from shaolin stayed..so then the son past down the shaolin martial art to the now 70 years old master...his name is Fei Long

@siumingpakua it's not rehersed movements that you will need to use in a figh, your reflexes change once you learn different types of physical arts, get your head out of your ass and stop talking shit, UFC rely on muscles monks mental power destroyes them, good day.

Fantastic showman and athletes, but don't be fooled. Shaolin Gong Fu is not pretty and it is not a circus...The real Shaolin Gong Fu is violent, Erratic and very ugly but is is very, very effective.

Sure, some of the art survived. A few of those who fled to Taiwan, Hong-Kong, Macau, and other places away from the Mainland did teach their art as it was meant to be taught (and learned for that matter). But the acts you are seeing in these videos are not of such an art. These folks are not of a direct Shaolin Gong Fu lineage. Sure it's impressive wushu and feats of the human body/mind, but this masquerade as some kind of unbroken lineage in Shaolin gong fu is a big lie. And so many buy it

[ATMfromNJ]

What I meant is, what you see today is an attempt at re-creating that which was lost and this types of Wushu really started in the early 80s. Don't believe me, well go read up on the subject from sources that are not connected with martial arts schools, so-called masters, etc. You will see that the temple was empty for a good 30 years (at least). 90% of actually burned down in 1928. During the Revolution, masters were hunted down and executed. Others fled and never taught again.
