I had the amazing opportunity to train with the kids at the Temple for close to a month 10 years ago. They were phenomenal - what touched me most was how kind the kids are, it felt like a huge family . The training was hard core but the bonds were so strong , they supported each other always , such bright Spirits . I see a lot of negative comments , unless you go there and experience it - it’s hard to understand . I was so proud of and humbled by the kids- they spoiled me completely . I have huge respect and Love always for Shaolin and Shaolin culture.

His grandmother lying to him saying he would only be there 5 days when she knew it would be a year before he could visit at home. Grandma abandoning him like this has to leave scars on him the rest of his life. Heartbreaking
Bruh. That’s his GRANDMA. You don’t know her situation or why she can’t take care of him. Your buggin if you think it’s easy for an elderly person to raise a little boy. I’m a single dad to a two year old son. They are a handful. He seems to be well cared for, and he’s learning life skills and lessons. It’s tough but she loves him and did what she thought was the best she could do for him. Where is his birth parents?

Teaching men they have to be strong is good but telling them they must not feel emotion and hold their feelings inside is wrong. But overall im glad the temple is an outlet to prepare these kids for life with strong foundations and fundamentals.
When my children were younger I took them to a dojo.....Best decision that was ever made. To some here they say they are weird, not like everyone else..... Mission accomplished. I fought a public system, and my children, now adults with children of their own reap the benefits. Thanks to God.
i would be so proud having a kid like Qiqi, he has a beatuful family. i love see him teaching his dad and sister his training, is priceless!!. all of those kids are superstars already.
The luck of understanding that I read from some comments what the training is really all about is astonishing. Young children are very flexible, physically and mentally. These little boys train their characters and learn about discipline. They will be grateful to their parents as they will grow up as successful young people. They will fight for their beliefs, protect their family, and support others.

In the USA kids are terribly spoiled. I imagine the worst part is being away from family. This is refreshing to see.

I would have 100% loved to have been able to do this when i was a kid, i loved the creative side of school and did really well in all physical sports but hated the lesson's side of school. These kids have a great opportunity here and i can never see the Shaolin or Kung Fu ever dying out. Great video.
Arrogance and greed shouldn't be idolized, it makes us weak. Kungfu is even more needed today, as to remind people to stay down to earth, it makes us strong.
He sent his son away just because he doesn't fulfilled his childhood dream to do martial arts. I do not think it works that way. I notice that with children once you put them in some kind of activity they end up becoming burning out if they done it for a few years. They pretty much wanna do something else and what is desire to them.
It varies from child to child, and culture to culture. Mayweather senior put Mayweather Jr through the same thing and that produced another hall of fame boxer for our history books.
But Mayweather Jr. wanted to box. Its different if a parents like "go do this, because I wanted to amd didnt". I mean, your children are not extensions of you, or exist for your bragging rights they should be allowed to find their own talents, not forced into the ones you wish you had but dont. If the kid was really into martial arts and was excited to go thats one thing, but it just seems like hes being a good Chinese boy and obeying his parents regardless of his own wishes.
@@childofcascadia what you describe is basically "acceptable" in Chinese culture though. It's been happening since forever. Infact, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens in many other Asian cultures like in India. The children are only drones/extensions of the family tree/clan. Individuality is not highly valued.
There are no words I have that can fully describe the deep well of feelings I had watching this. I'm Glad his family believed in him, and I'm glad they believed in themselves. This video mad me very happy, that's all I can say
Warriors like Shaolin monks shouldn't claim to be Buddhists, because Buddhism forbids violence! A primary virtue in Buddhism and other Indian religions is Ahimsa (Non-violence)!
@@ramizparkar4199 I'm partial to that... Should Buddhist protest against their own bodies too when their mmune stytem fights against a disease? Do you get mad when your body fights off a cold for you? Or are you suggesting that Buddhist women have no right to fight and repell being sexually assaulted? Part of being a serious Martial Artist is studying all religions, as well as homogenous comminalities. Your body fights, struggles, even against your own will, and cognitive abilities. You have to train in order to be successful at anything. There are warriors everywhere my friend, that's something noone can never stop. The focus to not hurt a sentient being is a good focus, and Tenant of buddism. It helps us to grow, and builds a respect for each other. Would you say Buddhist temples In Thailand to not feed orphaned Thai fighters? They often feed anyone who comes in who's hungry. Buddhist believe in reincarnation, so to make it short, whatever you do in this life is a stage for your next incarnation of growth. You should know this already. It's to help you on your journey to reach the highest Heaven.. Trayastrimsa*. So in Short.. Everyone has time to perfect themselves, and get better with each life. However you do make good point, one that has been made before. In my humble opinion, I think to study, and, to engage, people as you are doing now, with an open mind, you will find your answers to many things; but not with Martial Artist, because we aren't experts on religion & faith. I think to be reasonable, is the focus of any serious religious person. Life is subjected to phenomenons like, evils, and imperfections; you must fight, to withstand those relative manipulations, from whare noone knows they come. Then you will truly understand, we know nothing about this existence wich we inhabit. (I am not Buddhist btw) I wish you well, and knowledge that leads you to good things.
This is great! I hope there will be more videos of them in the future. I want to see how they grow up. It's so sad to see them miss their families though, I hope it's a good decision to send them to Shaolin temple for training, but if I was their parent, I could never do it.
Warriors like Shaolin monks shouldn't claim to be Buddhists, because Buddhism forbids violence! A primary virtue in Buddhism and other Indian religions is Ahimsa (Non-violence)!
Learning martial arts doesn't mean you have to fight with others. It's a way to protect yourself, and more importantly, to train your endurance and perserveraance through challenging physical limits.
I agree. They are non violent the training is part of the discipline not to attack people but to eliminate fear as one of the most limiting emotions. Eliminate physical pain and be alert and aware.
the kids are awesome. Goldthread should track down former Shaolin Temple disciples for a Life After Shaolin video. i remember this kid Shi Xiao Song, whom we watched a lot in documentaries/tv shows with his master, YanCen Shifu. Xiao Song is now an actor i believe 释小松

Kids are not there to fulfill their parents' dreams. Parents should not be allowed to force their kids in such institutions if the kids don't want too. It is as shameful as the parents forcing their kids to learn some music instruments or doing beauty contests...
this is a very ignorant western insight, they are not there to fullfill their parents dreams, the kids that go to kung fu school come from extremely poor families, no normal parents in China sends their children to kung fu schoo, it is a way for the poorest people to make something of themselves, they cannot afford to learn instruments or do beauty contests
Kids are not wise, sometimes alittle push in the right direction goes a long way. The asian way is that the adult would see the bigger picture clearly and have more wisdom than kids. If you let children choose their own fate it would often be detrimental ... no school, junk food and lots of computer games would be their choice.
@@hawkenfox there's a mid term between letting kid do anything they want and locking them in an institution that looks a lot like a sect. One of my grand kid used to practice Thai boxing, it is very demanding, minimum 2hours of training daily, but it was his choice, not his parents.
@@hawkenfox❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ As A Pakistani I Agree 💯💯💯💯 We Used To Have Same Thinking But Now A Days Sadly Parenting Is Very Easy And They Let Their Children Kids Whatever They Want To Become 😢😢😢😢 In Most Cases Kids Destroy
😂😂 kids like eating and playing, that's what my daughter wrote down for her favourite things to do. I don't think that needs any further support or encouragement! Instead we should push them to do things that require discipline and commitment!! If they can learn that I don't care through which way, that would be the best gift you can give to your kids. How many grow ups are still living without a purpose, because any meaningful activity requires discipline, responsibility and commitment. Of course eating and playing don't require those qualities! 😊
I'm not even sure if I can believe the tears and such on camera. They sent away their child to a freaken hardcore shaolin temple and just left him there for such a long time? That makes no logical sense how they'd lie and let them stay there that long and the child comes back and has no genuine reason to question what the heck the parents were doing. If anything that's a deeper form of child abuse. Good he became a strong monk, but against his will for so long? I can't believe the crying and hugs are genuine. There's an ulterior motive.
Sad that they had to use deception to take him there and get him to stay there (by abandoning him). One could see the sadness in his eyes when he was asked how he felt about that, bottled away sadness. he wasn't comfortable to express it.
Amazing video. Although I'm Brazilian (therefore Western), I'm trying to understand those parents and honestly... Attacking those parents and calling the training 'abuse' it is divergent with the reality. Those kids will face THE REALITY... The same terrible reality that we had to deal with it. They'll do it better than us, just they were presented with an amount of reality since young age. It is not bad, it is not abuse to show the kids healthy amounts of reality. Excellent Job GoldThread!
@@yaobikuni1349In terms of Qi Qi(1st boy), his mother said he was being spoiled by the grandmother. At 5 years old, the grandmother still feeding him instead of he eat by himself. The parents discussed about one of them quoting their job to take of the son, economically they couldn't so the father decided to send him to Shaolin school. In China, many parents work in cities & only go back hometown to see the children during Chinese New Year. Means grandparents take care of the kids, parents only see their children once a year
How incredible these kids are and at such a early age!! And how remarkable their parents and grandparents are for wanting a Better Life For Them!! As Parents we must always think about what's best for our kids !! Even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice by sending them Away!! Rather it's to the Shoalin Temple or a Boarding School it's all the Same!! Naturally we want to be Selfish and keep them with us but overall if our Kids are to have a Fighting Chance in this world 🌎 then a Parent must make that Sacrifice for that to happen !! I do wish these kids all the Very Best 🎉!! Phenomenal 🔥Video and Thanks for Sharing!!💚🤍🍀🤍💚
I'm old and I like being alone but I know one great thing martial arts has as it's core is love and compassion so I think there's more chances of abandonment by young people living with their families.
These kids grow up will be very disciplined and strong. They’ll be thankful to their parents when they get older. I wish my parents send me their when I was young.
Warriors like Shaolin monks shouldn't claim to be Buddhists, because Buddhism forbids violence! A primary virtue in Buddhism and other Indian religions is Ahimsa (Non-violence)!
Violence??? Do you even know what u saying??? As a shaolin monk do you train to cause violence??? My brother before you post something you should think first😮
They will grow up on strong people who understand that nothing comes for free. These boys understand what means hard work, and they will not be eaisy to break. They understand what the team work is and support each other as they train, they learn how to control their emotions and how not to give up eaisily. They understand that the most successful people are the one who are disciplined. Man should be a man not a snowflake. In reality he need to fight to provide for his family, to protect their children, etc. What did you missed?
My idol in shaolin he is handsome maybevhis old enough how many years that I saw him in shaolin kids the chobby one is very childest among of them I always watching movie in martial arts when 2 to 15 years old and now I'm 58 years old still watching martial arts movie
Those kids are amazing, beautiful pure souls. But not their parents. Sending such small kids to a boarding school/temple and not seeing them for months is extremely traumatising. It's literally abandoning their kids. The thing is, in the past people used to think that boarding school is something normal. Everyone did it. That is finally changing now. I myself went to a boarding school at age 11 too, although not as young as those ones. And I could see my mother once a week, still i felt abandoned by my family. I had to soothe myself in the night. The caretakers, teachers etc. might be nice and loving. But nothing can replace the love of your mother. This old culture and understanding is luckily dying! Kung fu and it's philosophy might be good, but abandoning your 5 year old and stopping your parental responsibilities is definitely a wrong doing. They just damaged their bond with their kids. It is not something they can repair anymore. The mistake is done. Those kids might be superstars or amazing kung fu masters, but lack of their mother's unconditional love and care will be there all their lives and shape their lives. Both in terms of strength and weakness.
The boy saying he felt nothing when they left him there a whole year but lied and said five days while tearing up got to me. My boy isnt their age yet. He'll be tough, but never abandoned. If he wants to train he can go to the gym with me... but I would never give the responsibility of raising my son to someone else. The monks are great and the kids are amazing. But if grandma is hand feeding and he has low energy, do something about it. It was an "oh that makes sense" when I found out he was an influencer. He said he left his son so proudly too. Heart goes out to that kid
Relatives and friends asked why angrily because i think many people are interested on worldly, I mean modern world. They want children to learn, do a job and learn martial arts as an extra curricular activity. They don't let children sacrifice whole time for martial arts. At present
Living is hard. This curse of one child policy huge penalties (ended only on 2016) and cost of the roof above the heads and living make people unable to be proper parents. 😢 I personally restrict my parents and mother in law influence my children. My children under my total control but it has high cost.
I have a huge issue with the parents of QI Yanlis parents, who in the fuck, would just abandon their own kid, at shalolin temple? Without consulting any of the instructors first? I'm surprised that kid, isn't full with hatred and anger, resentment towards his parents and especially his father, of all people...? Secondly wouldn't the kid, need permission from both of his parents to get into the temple, and have both signing an agreement, that allows the kid to reside within the temple? And how long the kid would be staying, and at what age, he would be leaving the temple, etc? It's obvious to me the kid don't want to, but what forced to, all because his father wanted to? That seems a little messed up, if you ask me?
I pause this video to find some comments like this. This kid didn’t show any anger and hatred. I believe his has cracked inside. Those lies hurt him so much, he couldn’t admit in front of people, or he didn’t feel safe and be understood with any one or any environment to say it. that even worse. That’s fucked up.
@@brittenyevans1101that is the most lousiest excuse that's been used since the dawn of time. if you can't afford to take care fo a child? why have said child in the first place? because you were horny one night? and the child suffers for a life time because of that? it's still horrible! horrible, horrible, horrible parents is what i say! these children are not warriors, they are not their parents sperm resume, they are children!! and they have feelings and every right to feel betrayed by their parents and grandparents!
This is what you call a disciplined life other countries should learn from china and Japan how to teach their kids to live a disciplined life and to make them tough like these Shaolin kids. Respect from India 💪
12:25min "He was 6 years old when I sent him to the Shaolin Temple" change "sent" to "sold". They dont want you to know but I know from Shaolin Master who was sold and he said: "the most kids there was sold because parents are poor" some of the little kids there were sold even with the age of 3. The most were sold with the age of 5-6. How cool sounds it now? :P
Living vicariously through your child is fucked up but at least the shaolin temple is full of wise mentors who teach you really cool skills, foster, really useful traits and teach a beautiful life philosophy. I think it turned out well for him.
If i lived in China and i had a son. He would be in a temple. I think that they have better education and training than they would recieve outside of the temple.
Leave a child for 5 days and come back a yr later... How utterly inhumane.. Do u know how much Trauma that child undergoes? They carry that sense of abandonment all their lives. Yes kids adapt they are good at adapting cz it's sink or swim... I will never understand how adults can do this to kids and justify it.
Wow. Jelly babies. They learn mind control. They learn the truth which is everything in the universe. They learn not to waste their time on petty emotions. They learn much more about real life than any nowadays parent can teach them. No matter how perfect you think your life is, just take away something that you have built your dream upon and the rest will collapse around you. THESE KIDS LEARN TO DEPEND ON THEMSELVES. They don't dream, they don't build dreams, They Live!!
I imagined a poor family that couldn't afford taking care of them, So they sent him to the Shaolin Temple! But they seem very rich!~ I can understand the character-building aspect being very important.. I'd send my child for the same reasons (if I thought it was necessary and if I had a child like that!)
You can teach your children discipline, kungfu, and many other life skills, but balance is key. Children learn best in a playful and happy environment. I am a parent myself and I know how busy and challenging parenting journey can be, but putting your child in a Shaolin Temple without parent supervision IS NOT PARENTING. Parents are supposed to be there to love, to protect, to teach, to be role models, and to guide their children in every step of the way, not leaving them somewhere with third parties just because it's convenient for you. This is 100% child abuse and this is the beginning of childhood trauma. I am praying for these beautiful children for better outcomes. Please if you genuinely care about the world and our next generation, you should NOT support this video and anything related to such extreme youth trainings.
KUNG FU makes the world a better place to live. I am lost for words. I sure wish if I was living in a first world country that have good shaolin school I would be a student.
i think this kind of training would not just teach them the value of having sound mind and body, but also a preparation for them to learn how to survive facing the reality of life alone.. the downside is that they may be bored learning in school unless they find it interesting for them to learn science, math, languages and history and other sports and music and arts..
Unlike our kids where narcissist personality disorder and other toxic environments are a growning norm, overstimlutated and addicted to their smartphones. No respect or empathy for others.
19:31 "They do not think society today needs kungfu." People in America want yo to learn kung fu. Seeing others master the arts. Inspires us to learn kung fu too. The history is beautiful and it is inspirational!
Народ должен хранить свои традиции. Сила в традициях. Кунг-фу как и другие боевые искусства воспитывает человека, к самообладанию. Нельзя оставлять кунг-фу.
Dad sending his son away to fulfill his own dream. Mum too busy live streaming to sell fake branded clothes. My gut feeling tells me that they are just hoping the kids become famous, make a lot of money to send to them. Bottom line, these boys are probably better off at the shaolin school learning from people who master the skills, rather than growing up in an environment where their parents and grandparents make them "do tricks" in front of the camera saying "see? it wasn't that hard" when they couldn't do 1% of what the boys do. Huge respect to those children, no sympathy with the adults. Beautiful videos and story telling.

Make your own kung fu TH-cam channel!
Shaolin culture is priceless, you are already a superstar.
I would have 100% loved to have been able to do this when i was a kid, i loved the creative side of school and did really well in all physical sports but hated the lesson's side of school. These kids have a great opportunity here and i can never see the Shaolin or Kung Fu ever dying out. Great video.
Arrogance and greed shouldn't be idolized, it makes us weak.
Kungfu is even more needed today, as to remind people to stay down to earth, it makes us strong.
What very cool kids these are.
They don’t know how special they are.
Good little souls too😇🏆💥💥💥
He sent his son away just because he doesn't fulfilled his childhood dream to do martial arts. I do not think it works that way. I notice that with children once you put them in some kind of activity they end up becoming burning out if they done it for a few years. They pretty much wanna do something else and what is desire to them.
Father is selfish. Why dont He do kung-fu Academy ??
@@imoveis_em_videoit’s a dojo not an academy
It varies from child to child, and culture to culture. Mayweather senior put Mayweather Jr through the same thing and that produced another hall of fame boxer for our history books.
But Mayweather Jr. wanted to box. Its different if a parents like "go do this, because I wanted to amd didnt". I mean, your children are not extensions of you, or exist for your bragging rights they should be allowed to find their own talents, not forced into the ones you wish you had but dont. If the kid was really into martial arts and was excited to go thats one thing, but it just seems like hes being a good Chinese boy and obeying his parents regardless of his own wishes.
@@childofcascadia what you describe is basically "acceptable" in Chinese culture though. It's been happening since forever.
Infact, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens in many other Asian cultures like in India.
The children are only drones/extensions of the family tree/clan.
Individuality is not highly valued.
There are no words I have that can fully describe the deep well of feelings I had watching this. I'm Glad his family believed in him, and I'm glad they believed in themselves. This video mad me very happy, that's all I can say
Warriors like Shaolin monks shouldn't claim to be Buddhists, because Buddhism forbids violence!
A primary virtue in Buddhism and other Indian religions is Ahimsa (Non-violence)!
@@ramizparkar4199 I'm partial to that... Should Buddhist protest against their own bodies too when their mmune stytem fights against a disease? Do you get mad when your body fights off a cold for you? Or are you suggesting that Buddhist women have no right to fight and repell being sexually assaulted? Part of being a serious Martial Artist is studying all religions, as well as homogenous comminalities.
Your body fights, struggles, even against your own will, and cognitive abilities. You have to train in order to be successful at anything. There are warriors everywhere my friend, that's something noone can never stop.
The focus to not hurt a sentient being is a good focus, and Tenant of buddism. It helps us to grow, and builds a respect for each other. Would you say Buddhist temples In Thailand to not feed orphaned Thai fighters? They often feed anyone who comes in who's hungry. Buddhist believe in reincarnation, so to make it short, whatever you do in this life is a stage for your next incarnation of growth. You should know this already. It's to help you on your journey to reach the highest Heaven.. Trayastrimsa*. So in Short.. Everyone has time to perfect themselves, and get better with each life.
However you do make good point, one that has been made before. In my humble opinion, I think to study, and, to engage, people as you are doing now, with an open mind, you will find your answers to many things; but not with Martial Artist, because we aren't experts on religion & faith.
I think to be reasonable, is the focus of any serious religious person. Life is subjected to phenomenons like, evils, and imperfections; you must fight, to withstand those relative manipulations, from whare noone knows they come. Then you will truly understand, we know nothing about this existence wich we inhabit.
(I am not Buddhist btw)
I wish you well, and knowledge that leads you to good things.
This is great! I hope there will be more videos of them in the future. I want to see how they grow up. It's so sad to see them miss their families though, I hope it's a good decision to send them to Shaolin temple for training, but if I was their parent, I could never do it.

Learning martial arts doesn't mean you have to fight with others. It's a way to protect yourself, and more importantly, to train your endurance and perserveraance through challenging physical limits.
I agree. They are non violent the training is part of the discipline not to attack people but to eliminate fear as one of the most limiting emotions. Eliminate physical pain and be alert and aware.
When he did those backflips on CONCRETE...🤯
Awesome documentary ❤, i wish it would be more parts.
You're already a superstar Aike 🥲
the kids are awesome. Goldthread should track down former Shaolin Temple disciples for a Life After Shaolin video. i remember this kid Shi Xiao Song, whom we watched a lot in documentaries/tv shows with his master, YanCen Shifu. Xiao Song is now an actor i believe 释小松

Congrats on the amazing documentary!!
When people said 'this generation doesn't need kung fu' it might be true but every generation needs discipline, health physical fitness, mental endurance and the training in shaolin kung fu is one of the best ways to accomplish those things.
Good video 👍 Thank you for making this.
wonderful. so emotional.

@@InnerGholly So why don't they renounce Siddhartha Gautama, if they believe that his policy of Ahimsa is impractical?
Kids are not there to fulfill their parents' dreams. Parents should not be allowed to force their kids in such institutions if the kids don't want too. It is as shameful as the parents forcing their kids to learn some music instruments or doing beauty contests...
this is a very ignorant western insight, they are not there to fullfill their parents dreams, the kids that go to kung fu school come from extremely poor families, no normal parents in China sends their children to kung fu schoo, it is a way for the poorest people to make something of themselves, they cannot afford to learn instruments or do beauty contests
Kids are not wise, sometimes alittle push in the right direction goes a long way. The asian way is that the adult would see the bigger picture clearly and have more wisdom than kids. If you let children choose their own fate it would often be detrimental ... no school, junk food and lots of computer games would be their choice.
@@hawkenfox there's a mid term between letting kid do anything they want and locking them in an institution that looks a lot like a sect. One of my grand kid used to practice Thai boxing, it is very demanding, minimum 2hours of training daily, but it was his choice, not his parents.
@@hawkenfox❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ As A Pakistani I Agree 💯💯💯💯
We Used To Have Same Thinking But Now A Days Sadly Parenting Is Very Easy And They Let Their Children Kids Whatever They Want To Become 😢😢😢😢 In Most Cases Kids Destroy
😂😂 kids like eating and playing, that's what my daughter wrote down for her favourite things to do. I don't think that needs any further support or encouragement! Instead we should push them to do things that require discipline and commitment!! If they can learn that I don't care through which way, that would be the best gift you can give to your kids. How many grow ups are still living without a purpose, because any meaningful activity requires discipline, responsibility and commitment. Of course eating and playing don't require those qualities! 😊
Parents are very proud to their little kungfu masters
So inspiring,so beautiful family and the kids are amazing 😍❤
I'm not even sure if I can believe the tears and such on camera. They sent away their child to a freaken hardcore shaolin temple and just left him there for such a long time? That makes no logical sense how they'd lie and let them stay there that long and the child comes back and has no genuine reason to question what the heck the parents were doing. If anything that's a deeper form of child abuse. Good he became a strong monk, but against his will for so long? I can't believe the crying and hugs are genuine. There's an ulterior motive.
Asians can be good at fake crying so idk
filial piety makes people untouchable
Sad that they had to use deception to take him there and get him to stay there (by abandoning him). One could see the sadness in his eyes when he was asked how he felt about that, bottled away sadness. he wasn't comfortable to express it.
Both parts are great work!
Really enjoyed watching it. Pacing, editing, Musik👌🏻 everything works very well 🙏🏻
Amazing video. Although I'm Brazilian (therefore Western), I'm trying to understand those parents and honestly... Attacking those parents and calling the training 'abuse' it is divergent with the reality. Those kids will face THE REALITY... The same terrible reality that we had to deal with it. They'll do it better than us, just they were presented with an amount of reality since young age. It is not bad, it is not abuse to show the kids healthy amounts of reality.
Excellent Job GoldThread!
I disagree, I felt like it was too much at that age, maybe when they were 10 or 12 or early teens, 5 is just brutal
@@yaobikuni1349In terms of Qi Qi(1st boy), his mother said he was being spoiled by the grandmother. At 5 years old, the grandmother still feeding him instead of he eat by himself. The parents discussed about one of them quoting their job to take of the son, economically they couldn't so the father decided to send him to Shaolin school.
In China, many parents work in cities & only go back hometown to see the children during Chinese New Year. Means grandparents take care of the kids, parents only see their children once a year
These children are forced to do it by their parents and masters.
This is 100 percent abuse
@@duhotatoday3277what a bol..x.

Magnificent!
My son just got his yellow belt in Shaolin and it’s very complicated.
Leaps and bounds harder than my blue belt red tip in Taekwondo.
I thought shaolin doesn't have a belt system?
Pls make part3 i want to see how they grow up in future
I’m the first comment here for once in your channel ❤. Perfect story yet again. Can’t wait for more to be touched by this story on their journey’
Do you get a prize or something for first comment???😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for this increible video
I hope he becomes a Superstar, I will pray❤
very good vid. Made me tear up.
Been looking for something like this for a long time to teach kids
How incredible these kids are and at such a early age!! And how remarkable their parents and grandparents are for wanting a Better Life For Them!! As Parents we must always think about what's best for our kids !! Even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice by sending them Away!! Rather it's to the Shoalin Temple or a Boarding School it's all the Same!! Naturally we want to be Selfish and keep them with us but overall if our Kids are to have a Fighting Chance in this world 🌎 then a Parent must make that Sacrifice for that to happen !! I do wish these kids all the Very Best 🎉!! Phenomenal 🔥Video and Thanks for Sharing!!💚🤍🍀🤍💚
Después no se quejen cuando sean unos ancianos abandonados
I'm old and I like being alone but I know one great thing martial arts has as it's core is love and compassion so I think there's more chances of abandonment by young people living with their families.
Incredible video!
Great doc!
A game reviewing shaolin disciple lead me to this video
Awesome series...how can we see the other episodes?
These kids grow up will be very disciplined and strong. They’ll be thankful to their parents when they get older. I wish my parents send me their when I was young.

I feel sorry for these boys man. These kids just want to be kids 😔 Shame on those parents
They will grow up on strong people who understand that nothing comes for free. These boys understand what means hard work, and they will not be eaisy to break. They understand what the team work is and support each other as they train, they learn how to control their emotions and how not to give up eaisily. They understand that the most successful people are the one who are disciplined. Man should be a man not a snowflake. In reality he need to fight to provide for his family, to protect their children, etc. What did you missed?
Jesteście wspaniali, podziwiam, szanuję i pozdrawiam.
My idol in shaolin he is handsome maybevhis old enough how many years that I saw him in shaolin kids the chobby one is very childest among of them I always watching movie in martial arts when 2 to 15 years old and now I'm 58 years old still watching martial arts movie
The decipline is 👏 👏
Those kids are amazing, beautiful pure souls. But not their parents. Sending such small kids to a boarding school/temple and not seeing them for months is extremely traumatising. It's literally abandoning their kids. The thing is, in the past people used to think that boarding school is something normal. Everyone did it. That is finally changing now. I myself went to a boarding school at age 11 too, although not as young as those ones. And I could see my mother once a week, still i felt abandoned by my family. I had to soothe myself in the night. The caretakers, teachers etc. might be nice and loving. But nothing can replace the love of your mother. This old culture and understanding is luckily dying! Kung fu and it's philosophy might be good, but abandoning your 5 year old and stopping your parental responsibilities is definitely a wrong doing. They just damaged their bond with their kids. It is not something they can repair anymore. The mistake is done. Those kids might be superstars or amazing kung fu masters, but lack of their mother's unconditional love and care will be there all their lives and shape their lives. Both in terms of strength and weakness.
Trauma, anxiety, worry, depression are all mental states. These kids are learning to eliminate all those unnecessary emotions.
Boy,s in Shaolin ❤❤❤.Like looking in You work . Intersested video. Thank. Maggi
Kina har gjort et mesterstykke i å forbedre levekårene for folket sitt . Ja det er oppsiktktsvekkende. Det er ekte kjærlighet til folket, god energi .
The boy saying he felt nothing when they left him there a whole year but lied and said five days while tearing up got to me. My boy isnt their age yet. He'll be tough, but never abandoned. If he wants to train he can go to the gym with me... but I would never give the responsibility of raising my son to someone else. The monks are great and the kids are amazing. But if grandma is hand feeding and he has low energy, do something about it. It was an "oh that makes sense" when I found out he was an influencer. He said he left his son so proudly too. Heart goes out to that kid
Relatives and friends asked why angrily because i think many people are interested on worldly, I mean modern world. They want children to learn, do a job and learn martial arts as an extra curricular activity. They don't let children sacrifice whole time for martial arts. At present
Living is hard. This curse of one child policy huge penalties (ended only on 2016) and cost of the roof above the heads and living make people unable to be proper parents. 😢 I personally restrict my parents and mother in law influence my children. My children under my total control but it has high cost.
Grandma should carry some ice for Aike to put on when his hands & other body parts felt pain to stop inflammations!
I have a huge issue with the parents of QI Yanlis parents, who in the fuck, would just abandon their own kid, at shalolin temple? Without consulting any of the instructors first? I'm surprised that kid, isn't full with hatred and anger, resentment towards his parents and especially his father, of all people...? Secondly wouldn't the kid, need permission from both of his parents to get into the temple, and have both signing an agreement, that allows the kid to reside within the temple? And how long the kid would be staying, and at what age, he would be leaving the temple, etc? It's obvious to me the kid don't want to, but what forced to, all because his father wanted to? That seems a little messed up, if you ask me?
Maybe, they couldn't afford to take care of him. Remember, everyone's reality isn't going to be like the bubble most people live in.
I pause this video to find some comments like this. This kid didn’t show any anger and hatred. I believe his has cracked inside. Those lies hurt him so much, he couldn’t admit in front of people, or he didn’t feel safe and be understood with any one or any environment to say it. that even worse. That’s fucked up.
@@brittenyevans1101that is the most lousiest excuse that's been used since the dawn of time. if you can't afford to take care fo a child? why have said child in the first place? because you were horny one night? and the child suffers for a life time because of that? it's still horrible! horrible, horrible, horrible parents is what i say!

When is Part 3 coming out?
This is what you call a disciplined life other countries should learn from china and Japan how to teach their kids to live a disciplined life and to make them tough like these Shaolin kids. Respect from India 💪
Bit more disciple is fine, good even, wouldve done me good, but im ok with not training every waking hour.
I believe in balance
Check that balance in your mind.
Could you please do part 3?
12:25min "He was 6 years old when I sent him to the Shaolin Temple" change "sent" to "sold". They dont want you to know but I know from Shaolin Master who was sold and he said: "the most kids there was sold because parents are poor" some of the little kids there were sold even with the age of 3. The most were sold with the age of 5-6. How cool sounds it now? :P
Living vicariously through your child is fucked up but at least the shaolin temple is full of wise mentors who teach you really cool skills, foster, really useful traits and teach a beautiful life philosophy. I think it turned out well for him.
I wonder how they are doing. I wish there was an update. Or if someone at the temple films them and has another separate channel?...
If i lived in China and i had a son. He would be in a temple. I think that they have better education and training than they would recieve outside of the temple.
Please admin keep up-to-date about them 🙏
Leave a child for 5 days and come back a yr later... How utterly inhumane.. Do u know how much Trauma that child undergoes?
They carry that sense of abandonment all their lives. Yes kids adapt they are good at adapting cz it's sink or swim... I will never understand how adults can do this to kids and justify it.
@IamtheMan1111 so they lie and let others do their work. Wow...
Wow. Jelly babies. They learn mind control. They learn the truth which is everything in the universe. They learn not to waste their time on petty emotions. They learn much more about real life than any nowadays parent can teach them. No matter how perfect you think your life is, just take away something that you have built your dream upon and the rest will collapse around you. THESE KIDS LEARN TO DEPEND ON THEMSELVES. They don't dream, they don't build dreams,
They Live!!
Might seem cruel. But very disciplining.
I rarely hear of a psychomaniac that was raised in Shaolin Temple.
Wonderful souls! Grandmother is Shaolin Master on her own.
To send a child into a new world, have them adapt, and then bring them back to the old world, is a big ask.
We want part 3!! It's been 3 weeks
Aike's such a mood😂
Thanks!
I imagined a poor family that couldn't afford taking care of them, So they sent him to the Shaolin Temple!
But they seem very rich!~
I can understand the character-building aspect being very important.. I'd send my child for the same reasons (if I thought it was necessary and if I had a child like that!)

You can teach your children discipline, kungfu, and many other life skills, but balance is key. Children learn best in a playful and happy environment. I am a parent myself and I know how busy and challenging parenting journey can be, but putting your child in a Shaolin Temple without parent supervision IS NOT PARENTING. Parents are supposed to be there to love, to protect, to teach, to be role models, and to guide their children in every step of the way, not leaving them somewhere with third parties just because it's convenient for you. This is 100% child abuse and this is the beginning of childhood trauma. I am praying for these beautiful children for better outcomes. Please if you genuinely care about the world and our next generation, you should NOT support this video and anything related to such extreme youth trainings.
As a clinical psychologist I agree 100% with you. They could have both: discipline AND love.
Who says they don't have both at the temple? What do Westerners call love?

i think this kind of training would not just teach them the value of having sound mind and body, but also a preparation for them to learn how to survive facing the reality of life alone.. the downside is that they may be bored learning in school unless they find it interesting for them to learn science, math, languages and history and other sports and music and arts..

Народ должен хранить свои традиции. Сила в традициях. Кунг-фу как и другие боевые искусства воспитывает человека, к самообладанию. Нельзя оставлять кунг-фу.
Dad sending his son away to fulfill his own dream. Mum too busy live streaming to sell fake branded clothes. My gut feeling tells me that they are just hoping the kids become famous, make a lot of money to send to them. Bottom line, these boys are probably better off at the shaolin school learning from people who master the skills, rather than growing up in an environment where their parents and grandparents make them "do tricks" in front of the camera saying "see? it wasn't that hard" when they couldn't do 1% of what the boys do. Huge respect to those children, no sympathy with the adults. Beautiful videos and story telling.
