these aren't real monks. The temple never teach them to "show off" in the public.

@crossvaneclone Actually they are real monks, and if you've ever been to the Shaolin Temple they do quite a bit of public performances on a regular basis. It's how they can continue to sell the novelty of the brand name Shaolin to newer and newer generations.

Chin Woo wushu to be precise....

@MattTerry1974

Actually no. Shaolin Wushu as in from the Shaolin Temple. That place where people learned wushu about 1,412 years before Jing Wumen (Chin Woo) ever existed.

This is what good martial arts is all about. Martial arts shouldn't bet violent blood sports; they're talented displays of technique

[RustyOwnage]

@crossvaneclone Actually they do these days. Hence all the performance teams. Most have been trained at the Shaolin Temples for most of their lives, do demonstrations in other countries, and then return. Some prefer not to go back. Get your facts right.

I think that is marvelous to see how the human body and mind togheter can develop a technique that express so much armony and intelligence. Nice demonstration.

@Taluglalom837 Incorrect. They are highly cultured, spiritual people who respect their enemy though they train hours a day to kill them.

@wushu297

Besides the meaning "learned skill/great skill" the term Kung fu got a second meaning in the all day language of most western countries (I think also bruce lee used it like that) which is some thing like: a chinese martial art focusing on the more traditional aspects (like buddhism, qi gong, combat ...). The word is often used to make a contrast to modern sports "wu shu". Even if this has nothing to do with the chinese routs of the words, it has this kind of usage as well.
