Shaolin Warrior - Kung Fu Journey

This was the first DVD made by Shifu Yan Lei and is not an instructional DVD but a documentary about Shifu Yan Lei's personal kung fu journey.

Shifu Yan Lei gives an insiders guide to the training of a Shaolin Temple disciple. He demonstrates his powerful Shaolin Steel Jacket technique as well as leg and arm conditioning in the Bamboo Hall. Through fusing traditional forms with pad, bag training and fighting in the ring, he reveals how the thousand year old traditions of the Shaolin Temple can be adapted into modern fighting techniques and used in combat with both Shaolin Monks and Western Fighters.

This fascinating introduction to Chinese Kung Fu will interest beginners and advanced martial artists alike.

well from your response there i realize you dont train in martial arts...or you do but dont fully grasp its teachings.

i never said MMA fighters would get owned by shaolin or the other way around. you just automatically say the telivised SPORT which tells me you sit on your fat but and watch people fight while you wish you were like them. Alexander the great huh? doubt it.

but honestly there is no need to swear and no need to be rude about it. you "unintelligent cunt" get over yourself

[Myderion]

They don't need to prove anything. It' not about the fighting.

[tomlovegod]

@theirishtraitor No not realy. Its like theroy and practise. Which is more important? You cant judge it.

[WrestlingGorilla]

I just started training in shaolin kung fu and san shou after years of boxing and competing in BJJ and i have to say,these guys are for real.I had no idea about what to expect and knew nothing of forms or chinese arts.All i can say is just give it a try and youll see its awesome!!

@theirishtraitor

Oh, and no, I can´t tell my style ( northern shaolin ) is superior, because I don´t know the other styles. But without looking at the experience of a fighter, as we know , martial arts are not sports but art and there are definitely people who are superior at the battlefield, than a boxer.

[MrSujuk]

@theirishtraitor

Not the style but the fighter means; the one with more knowledge and experiences is definitely the better one.

As an example, in kickboxing I learned a totally other way to punch than in kung fu. I saw "the knowledge" behind it. I saw, that we use too much energy with less effectiveness. That we move very senseless and losing power by that and even concentration lacks of it. Much more things. So, the style you learn, gives you the knowledge, that´s what I am pointing at.

[MrSujuk]

@theirishtraitor

Every strike can be countered, no matter which art of strike ( grappling, punchings etc.) . So, and what I want to tell is, you can be a master in one style, but there is maybe another style, which has more capability of knowledge ( see the sentence before; grappling , punches etc..) that can make you more efficient against the attacks from the another one. BUT now the point " it is not the style, it is the fighter himself" is very important.

[MrSujuk]

@theirishtraitor Because one style has much more knowledge , than another one. Like the difference of high school and university. First you try to get the best one and then to be a good fighter in that style.

[potenttokin]

@theirishtraitor bruce lee said that.

[GongFuLondon]

alot of u are missing the point. MMA, Sanshou, K1 and other fighting sports are just that. sports! they have a shelf life (35yrs old and ur done). the aim of martial arts is good health, peaceful heart and a long, happy life. All hard training and qi gong are simply tools to help achieve these things. fight to prove ur skill to urself... not for others.

I have been studying with shifu yan lei for over 10yrs at shaolin temple uk. i count myself very lucky to have found such an inspiring teacher!
