The offical RU-vid channel of Shaolin Temple UK, a martial arts kung-fu school based in North London, originally set up by Shifu Shi Yanzi - a 34th generation fighting monk from Shaolin Temple China.
I just started doing this style recently and I love it. I have been doing a soft style for five years and the added tension in this style makes a big difference. Thanks for these free videos. Life changing material here!
It's a shame that Kung Fu has become such a weak martial arts in terms of real fighting utility. It's a pleasure to see such a good teacher like him teaching the real basics of a real martial arts. Unfortunately most of us around the world when we go to a kung fu school we are going to be teached stunts and taolu, than you add weapons and the damage is 100% done. You have no idea how many people I've found that after years of kung fu and strange weapons were not able to throw a decent straight punch. It's very stupid to give an halberd, or a spear, or a Dao, or a Gun, to someone that is not abole to throw a decent 1,2, is really stupid...or maybe it's just the sintome that they don't want to make you grove as a fighter, they just want you to become a good looking stunt man
it's not fake, dude. This guy was sent from China to open a branch of the Shaolin Temple in London. You can travel there and learn Kung Fu from him. He's as legitimate as it gets. Here's the address, "207A Junction Road, Tufnell Park, London N19 5QA". Look up this video, "Shaolin Shi Yanzi 50 years old easily KO a young kickboxer (30)". He WON in two seconds. Well, less than one minute, anyway.
@neutrino78x. The sparring for the camera here was CLEARLY fake. If you can't see that, that you don't understand BASIC kung fu and fighting or physics. I don't think he's a fake martial artist or unskilled. I do think this was choreographed BS for the cameras. Because it was.
@@Biggiiful "The sparring for the camera here was CLEARLY fake." What's your definition of fake? In ITF Taekwondo we have an exercise where five people attack one person. Is that fake? It feels real enough, trust me, lol. (even though, in real martial arts, we don't go full power. That's an MMA/redneck fu thing.) "I don't think he's a fake martial artist or unskilled. " Far more skilled than you, yes. Repeat after me, "this man, in the video, is a master of Kung Fu, and would easily defeat me."
This is what I have been looking for. I am 64 and have been doing Qi Gong now for 9 months but want more. I have a lawn service business along with 2 horses and goats. Totally enjoying your videos. THANKS so MUCH.
Amitabha, /bow I can't thank all Shaolin for keeping the traditions alive and taking such time and patience in your training, and now spreading out and sharing with the world! Brilliant! I'm here to support the art and mindset! I like Taoism personally and really wanted to be a Shaolin Monk growing up The Peaceful Warriors of the world! Your influence has benefited my life greatly and I look forward to watching your training video's! I'm going to learn the language as well! Miles of Smiles! Amitabha
I’m confused? Really confused…that’s how you punch in kung fu but…I also saw this same tactic called “hikite” in Karate I’m not a karate guy but I’m confused karate and kung fu both have this same thing. So what is the real punch?
One more thing, Sir, Throughout my over 30 years of Karate training, I have learned the difference between striiking soft or hard surfaces, which is not presented in your , otherwise awesome presentation. Best regards.Paul,68, retired instructor of Karate.
I practice Shaolin forms mostly for fitness but if have to defend myself in the streets, I swear I'd bite someone's ear off like Mike Tyson - 😊 it's easy and quicker
Many thanks Sifu, for this honest effort to teach not only for fighting but also health and endurance. I have noticed traces of Goju ryu Sanchin Kata in which the slow while strenuous hits and blocks serve the sam purpose ednsurance and coordination. However, compared to Sanchin Kata your stance is fairly more flexible, in terms of allowing for more body movement, compared to thee Japanese Kata mentioned. Is there a reason to it, or just more concentration of the hand movements? Best regards Paul,67, retired instructor.
