For anyone to call this man a fake is a joke, he comes from the shaolin temple, not from Florida, what he teaches is a combination of traditional shaolin mixed with modern training methods, to come on the Internet and comment on how you are better and faster and tougher is just immature, the mentality of a novice
indeed, only his english is not really clear how he speaks, its like his mouth doesnt want to cooperate. but really an great teacher he is. LOVE HIS videos! check out his family workouts, home workouts now during corona! its all for free
Yes Cindy. When I saw it was 11 mins of watching someone else training, I expected to get bored very quickly. Instead I was mesmerised by his stamina, speed and devotion to the task! He's got some wicked kicks there too! x
What they don't say that this guys use chi breathing. It is when you breath not with your chest but belly.Then all your lungs are filed with air. I think it is very important to mention. This breathing(also called Tao yin breathing) Is very useful. Good luck. :)
It's also called proper way of breathing every human being should stick to. It's actually the way children breathe until their bodies learn how to be lazy and not use diaphragm properly while breathing xD
Don't 'expand' your chest raising your whole upper body while breathing. There's this muscle called diaphragm, right below your lungs. When it 'goes down' your lungs inhale, when it gows up - exhale. Just relax your belly and allow it to expand a little bit, letting it expand downwards. If you need help you can put your hand on your belly right below your ribs and start slowly breathing in and out - if it's raising and your shoulders stay in the same spot - congratz, you mastered the hard art of proper breathing xD upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9c/Diaphragmatic_breathing.gif
Thanks for the incredible, inspirational example, Shifu. And I asked for and received all three of your Shaolin workout DVDs for Christmas, and I'm trying to work through them now. They are no joke -- super difficult but so awesome -- and I'm so grateful that you've shared your knowledge with those of us who have no Shaolin teachers in our area. Keep up the great work!
Thank you, for showing us also what man can be. Perhaps what he already is. This is just beautiful, not just the discipline and form but especially the courage.
I love This type of training its gets to all of your muscle and increases stamina within your muscles to go longer and faster its so good its like swimming its different with every stroke.
and this is just his warm-up. notice he's punching with his left hand (probably his weak hand). i know he does both hands and feet and the video is shortened.
Great dedication and discipline, Master Shifu!!! I wish I could train 1 on 1 in person with you. You are a great role model of generosity and self-improvement. Very inspirational.
Can quite clearly see he's not a master. I know this through the documentaries I've watched, namely 'shaolin vs wu-tang' and 'american ninja'. It's a common fact that ALL martial arts masters have long white beards and super long white eyebrows.
@corvette174 he's short and stocky and doesn't have abs popping out of his skin hence he's no gym-buff. If you watch his DVDs he says he doesn't do weights and you shouldn't because -- as you also correctly pointed out -- it slows you down. And the way he does those jump press-ups, he's got no problem with his explosiveness to weight ratio, that's for sure. His flexibility is also top drawer. You're entitled to your opinion but this guy is a Shaolin Monk and I suggest you're merely uninformed.
Your also not supposed to fully extend when you punch. That is why many baseball pitchers damage elbows. By extending the elbow too far and tearing cartilage.
very impressive, i respect you dedication to your art to the atmost, i practice kyokushin karate, the form you did at 04:05 was very similar to the kata (form) that i do, its called the ju ji kata, spefically there is kata sono ju ji and kata sono ju ji ura wich is the same kata but another direction, it goes in the same pattern of your form but the stance is different, zengstu dachi then apply gedan bari making sure before you move to spot your opponent then block. im looking forward to seeing more vids of these workouts. Osu
Japanese when they were copying or stealing in the bushes, they didn't pay attention to the details, they forgot some details when they got back home, it was too fast they didn't pick up all the moves OR the master knew they were hiding in the bushes so intentionally did the moves incorrectly to fuck with the japanese. Maybe the japanese actually became students of the chinese master...but they probably didn't stay long enough to get all their mistakes in their "form" corrected by the Master. it takes time to get your form good. you won't get it good the first time you learn it. EXAMPLE: One textbook says left direction. Another textbook says right direction. One textbook was written by the Harvard professor who invented ABC. The other textbook was written by University of Phoenix associate professor who just started researching about ABC....and he got the direction wrong when he was copying the chapters from the Harvard professor's textbook. This explains the "different" direction. that pretty much explains why the kata is different than shaolin. Karate originated from China, i don't need to say this again on RU-vid, i hope people know this by now. All Japanese "kata" originated from China. There must be an origin. Something can't come from nothing. Even Samurai swords originated from China.
heeheemanofHK I know you dedicated a lot of work into these paragraphs, but you should know that karate came from Japan, while Kung Fu came from China.
Dang dude, that's amazing. It's very strange because (this might sound stupid lol) but today I woke up and I was sleeping on my arm weird and when I woke up all the blood was cut off from my arm and I could'nt move it at all for like 30 seconds. It scared me and martial arts is my life. So I was thinking about how different martial arts would be with one arm and how my life would change. That's crazy man, don't give up!That's true martial arts. And yes Shifu = sifu =)
Yeah, I know. There's a brazilian woman named Paula Amidani. She's gorgeous and very talented. I'm entering the second semester at Eagle Claw Kung Fu school. I'm loving it. It's hard because I had cancer in my shoulder ten years ago, and i've lost my left arm movements, I can only move my hand. So it's a challenge, but a challenge that I enjoy. One day, I'll get there! BTW, do you speak cantonese or mandarin? Shifu = Sifu? I want to know that...
I am 66 weight and 167 heigh. I learned Lo Man Kam Wing Chun. I exercise Yi Jing Qigong, shaolin basic, Sunmudo streching, Sunmudo Yoga, Convict conditioning, 7,5 kg kettlebell,multifuncional pull bar. When I little exercise shotokan karate katas.

@corvette174 the video is about endurance and stamina training for our everyday life, showing possibilities how can you improve in the park next to your house. don't mix it with old shaolin 'movies'. btw, did you train in china? (and yes, i did) you would know sanda is a part of the modern shaolin training. *thanks shifu for posting this video*
Shiiiiiit im fooking knackerd...my guys a bad ass.them round houses just over half way have a serious hidden technique in the way he snaps down after the climb..so much hidden power...
also at 5:21 you make what is called in my art kia or what is used to amplify energy for a strike, the sound you make is esha or esh wich if very useful to amplify you power in any kick
@corvette174 Have you ever done either king-fu or UFC? Where's the grappling in this video? And this guy is a genuine monk. This is a fitness video to help prepare you for Shaolin training. Who died and made you an expert?
i suppose you mean muscle, anyway, i thought his kicks would be "slow" but those are indeep powerfull, i doubt anyone out without those muscle would kick as good as him, it is not like muscles are everything, but if i were too close of this guy i wouldn't be able to avoid one of his kicks, and also, block the kick with the arm or even the leg would make some serious injury,
