Traditional Chinese Kung Fu, Wushu, and whatever else, Shaolin is still by far the most impressive in every respect.

brilliant video! I loved the first performer demonstrating superb concentration and energy sensitivity. I loved how it wasn't just a bunch of people with bow staffs either, but covered a wide range of martial arts weapons. if only there were more respectable martial arts videos on youtube such as this one! thank you!

This is beyond impressive! It's all about focus, discipline, long years of practice and perseverance channeling and harnessing all your own physical, mental and spiritual energies inside yourself in the most positive and effective way possible! This is the ultimate demonstration of physical, mental and spiritual energy, forces & strength! This is NOT about fighting, but reaching your own ultimate excellence on every level! If one ever reaches this level of excellence, he/she is best prepared to defend him/herself in any given threatening situation by far. I am in awe after watching this...

Incommon abilities, a life of discipline, intensive and hard training. This is the key to achieve the success.

I have no problem with this. But I'm tired of people viewing martial arts as a performance. People always watch these videos and criticize it all, but it's stupid. You cannot tell how effective a martial art is from watching a video. Only from real life.

This is so smooth and relaxes. I just love it . Thank you for posting this.

I love the guy that just yeets the wood at the very end.

Amazing display of chi energy, I enjoyed this. This shows the artistic side of martial arts. I think a lot of people are aware that this is for performance and also aware of the fact that fighting skill is the other side of martial arts. Nonetheless their discipline in balance , strength n flexibility is extraordinary! Respect

i traveled back in time to bring this vids to you guys hope u enjoy

I dont know why but seeing the first guy and listening to the music made me very very relaxed and full of peacefulness :)

wow! this is awesome!!! i wish i could go there and watch them do this again!

thank you very much for posting this...wooowww...i workout yoga but this is superb!!!doing all this poses so fast...

such flexibility! such sharp movements! such balance! superb!

I really would like to know the title of this music please if anyone knows?

I know 4 right now, Shotokon Karate, Aikido, Judo, and Jujitsu. I'm 15 and I've been doing it since I was 7, so about 8 years. There aren't many martial arts trainers in my city either, but I found a guy who teaches a Shaolin class. You might search online for any kung fu classes in your area.

yes this video was shot at the shaolin temple. august 2011.

Oh dayum!!! That looks awesome :D

Incredible what results from a life dedicated to the study of martial arts

@SimonThompson But where? A Temple in Henan, China? In the US...?

Same here! I already know Shotokon Karate, Aikido, Judo and some Jujitsu, and I want to learn Muay Thai and Shaolin Kung Fu and combine them all into my own form that works for me.

Very nice, great focus and concentration, superb discipline required to do this, the U.S., for the most part, seriously lacks this as you can tell by some of the comments.

Which is the name of the second background song? Thanks.

I'm planning on studying Shaolin and Muay Thai to combine it with other arts I know into my own art form. I'm thinking I'll combine the viciousness of Muay Thai with the speed, technique, precision, flexibility and strength of Shaolin and Karate, with the arm bars and wrist locks of Aikido and the throws and pins of Judo and the groundwork of Jujitsu, into one bad ass martial art form. Plus, power enhancement through Qi Gong.

Thank you for your reply. Where in China? I know amazing Shaolin monks that came from China and now live in the US and do demonstrations and teach, that is why I asked.

beautiful tradition

Shaolin Kung Fu Demonstration

What's the name of the first theme song?

I Love the music.....their music is their signature.....KUNFU is 100% chinese....lets keep it that way........

eternally beautiful. - Eternamente lindo, É importante que o Brasil conheça, que existe centenas de estilos, como esse que não são populares ou competitivos.

eu ador este tipo de filmes eu amo muito

eu uso isto em defesa pessoal, que e que voce ta para ai a dizer? isto tambem foi usado em guerras sem espada -_-'

This is wonderful, but i can' help but to wonder why all the shaolin kung fu videos are recorded with a potato.

awsome

Good stretching Form!

I see this debate on here about where martial arts started. Technically it started on the battlefield. Martial(war) arts, so any empire or nation that ever existed on this planet that had a standing army practiced martial arts. Those that kept coming home from war obviously were doing something right, their peers notice this and asked to be instructed in their style of war(martial) arts. You honor your teacher, thus lineage. Atleast this is my take on it based on common sense...

To say that the great focus and concentration, and superb discipline is something that the U.S. lacks may be true, however you are comparing a culture to a temple of Shaolin monks. There is no culture in the world that is as disciplined as Shaolin monks, including China. These are not just some guys. This is a temple of worshipers that dedicate themselves their entire lives to Buddhism and the mastery of Shaolin Kung Fu. These people do things that most of the world would describe as magic.

It's a superb exercise routine, as it was originally meant to be. The problem is when people starting thinking that Chinese yoga was somehow a good way to kick everyone's ass. Not any more than power lifting, though they both have applications in the field.

If by "pure" you mean strictly martial arts, then no, the school Jackie was in wasn't a pure kung fu/wushu school. He trained at the Peking Opera School which involved martial arts training but for the purpose of theater.

where was that?

best skills ever

非常好！我尊重他们！

This kid is Flexable

Recuerdo cuando yo hacía todos esos movimientos que hace este monje. Después me casé y chao kung fu. Después de 25 años, me duele to'a vaina. :-D

now imagine if they learnt physics... they'd be Jedi

+Omphile Y Actually the idea of the jedi was inspired by Tibetan monks and most notably Shaolin Monks! George Lucas has said this in many interviews. He's also said that the jedi fighting style and way of the jedi was heavily inspired by the Shaolin. (Which shouldn't be surprising as traditionally the Shaolin would only accept 3-4 year olds into the monastery to become monks, the extensive martial arts training yet focus on pacifism and righteousness, etc. )

Yes the second half of the video is martial art but not the beginning

jackie chan is great. don't let it go to head, you live.

esta "dança" chama-se forma e serve para melhorar o controlo no equilibrio, aumentar a força, melhorar os ataques e defesas, assim como ajudar a descobrir novas formas nessa "dança" o mma nao sei o que aquilo prova, é apenas entertenimento para mentes que nao percebem o que uma arte marcial pretende ensinar. portanto depende do praticante da arte, dominar a arte e a si mesmo.

It is a realy good

AH! it hurts just to watch! but wow amazing!

Wie heißt die waffe , die bei 7:52 kommt ? :-*

COOL

Nopo orak maimn film meneh jet li

You think your wu-tang sword can defeat me?

é obvio que um nao practicante como voce nunca ira entender uma arte com centenas de anos que foi usada em batalhas

10:15 did he just break a metal bar between his legs

真是大开眼睛的内功啊

You're gonna study Shaolin Kung Fu by a grandmaster? LUCKY!!! I'm so jealous! I hope he teaches you well and not just about fighting. (=

Where is the paid promotion?

LIKED!... Simon Thompson! #RICKYJRMULTIVERSE

This "dancing" is showing off he's form and flexibility. Watch 1:02.

Wouldn't want to piss off the kid at 4:45 XD

You do not pray in a demonstration of shaolin kung fu the only thing you do that may look like it is bowing either to your opponent,teacher or just to the audience

Hi

These guys are fucking ninjas

To clear up this video was shot at the Shaolin Temple, Dengfeng, Henan Province. China. The real McCoy.

Vive le Kung Fu !

jet lee, jet li,bruce lee all of them , jackie chan.

the shaolin and wu-tang could be dangerous

massa o video :D

This makes me want to order Chinese food now

did you know that kung fu actually started in southern india just just google this guy bodhidharma.

1:07 is incredibly difficult

Is it me or does the crowd not sound to pleased with the proformence? Come on people these guys are great clap louder dammit!!!

Yeah, keep in mind, the staffs they are hitting on the ground from a leaping attack, are the same ones that they are BREAKING IN HALF over this guys body.

What I find that's really great about China is that they keep the old chinese kung fu traditions. If I'm not mistaken, most of China used to be made up of kung fu schools. Jackie Chan came from a pure kung fu school.

Yeah... I'm jealous...

este tipo de luta é capaz de arrancar bocados de carne do teu corpo com os dedos, por favor nao julgues uma arte pelas aparencias, primeiro practica depois fala.

this is more like ashtanga yoga to me than martial art......

so sad how the monks were so secluded and their own, now they are reduced to doing shows.

chaolin is the best

gotta make money
