This is traditional Kung Fu as it should be practiced. Hard work! You can see it in his body and the way he moves. Legit bad ass.
He is 100% correct when he says No best martial arts just the practicioners
Aikido guy has better chance against an mma guy, yes?
It's truuu
@@attiylanen theres is no single discipline that has any chance against an mma fighter..I'm telling u from experience as a former mma fighter
@@alichekbigi I agree part of what you are saying , but again , you can't not say all MMA fighters are better than people do not practice MMA . MMA is a fix of everything . Right ?
@@jamesgao26 correct..but I would rather be good in all aspects of fighting than b great at only one. 99.9 times out of 100 mma guy would stomp at a single art practitioner in a street fight or ring. U will never find a full contact sparring video of any of these TH-cam martial artists w kung fu akido etc..because it's not reality..they live in fantasy land where they believe in their own bullshit or do seminars to make money
Noticed there wasn't any talk of 'pressure points' or 'dim mak' or 'my technique' will defeat yours - it was just hard, honest, effective, practical training. Respect.
it was just i have some knowledge and am prepared to give it to you
" Make your forms have meaning. Not beautiful. You Want it to be useful. " Can't say better words ...
Unfortunately, that's missing is many kwoon and dojos.
Definitely knows what his saying.real master indeed
Yep, definitely no bulshido here. Shi fu Yan Lei is the real thing.
This is how all Kung Fu should be trained. So rare to find such a good teacher.
Unfortunately 90% of kung full schools don't implement the conditioning and internal training part(despite the knowledge is still available). These kung to school only focus on form and some application.
@@YamamotoKazuo but when you find that one school/teacher that is not rubbish, you immidietly understand how most of the comments on this video are uninformed.
@Chi Huang idk what you're talking about, he's a legit Shaolin monk, he's Shi Yanzi's brother.
Kung Fu = Which Life What You Choosing. Virtue n Way. In Harmony.
I agree👍🏻My teacher still pisses the bed
"nothing best!. Depends on who is practicing" this is very true, people just tent to look at the style not the person.
depends on your 'master' which relates to you because you picked the master. so, pick your master wisely. your master and your master's lineage. lineage is very important....which has fuck all to do with 'branding' or popularity.
Agreed, all martial artists are part of a larger fraternity
Salute to these people who are trying to get fit and a bigger salute to Shifu Yanlei for being such a nice guy !
Modesty always first.
Wow this was great. Shifu yan lei is awesome. He mixes the spiritual with the physical. The fighting with philosophy. He's one of the few shaolin fighters I follow
When you're training, you need to understand the movement. Most people just copy the movement
🙏 Shifu Yan Lei 🙏
As with all things
A journey of 10000 miles begins with 1 single step.
Das first step is learn congfu is to copy das movement das beste I can.
Time and effort are das parent of Shaolin congfu.
10000 hours
rules congfu
As a martial artist who became a boxer, I can honestly and very modestly say that it has been a very long time since I saw a good martial art video on TH-cam.
That was really good, thank you for the sharing. There is still good martial art out there in Europe.
Lou totally agree
Louragan Coming from a martial arts background... what are your thoughts on the effectiveness of what you learned versus what you’ve been taught in boxing? I’m a martial artist, but have many takeaways from boxing that I find extremely useful as far as combat goes... things that I simply wasn’t taught directly in martial arts outside of finding out the hard way in sparring.
From a martial art perspective, boxing is the closest art from the core of martial art. The very essence of martial art is what makes boxing so great : rythm, distance, timing. These are basics, even though most of martial art practice nowadays totally miss this part. Why ? Because in martial art, we don’t spar.
Don’t get me wrong, nowadays, many « boxers » do not spar neither, or very few, or not in a good way.
Sparring is necessary. Sparring with anyone, good or bad fighter, experienced or not, tall or small, heavy or light.
Sometimes soft sparring, sometimes hard sparring. We need both.
I’ve never reached the understanding I have of martial art now before going into boxing, and training hard. And you will get punched, but you must raise and keep sparring. To me, this is the only, unique way to really say we’re martial artist.
Bruce Lee himself said that sparring was the most important part of the martial art life.
After years of experience and a thousand sparring with hundreds of different poeple, yes, I absolutely understand and agree with this.
This is why an amateur boxer can fight without difficulty most of martial art master in the world (considering not a big weight difference). Cause he feels, he sees without thinking, he knows when there is an opening, he knows how to manage a distance, how to fake it, how to control his opponenet rythm and how to break his own, he can also feint...
I see boxing as the core of every martial art; every martial art needs what is boxing based on. This helps for any martial art. Even weapons.
I don’t understand why people separate Boxing from other martial arts... martial means fighting... so boxing is a striking martial art.
SOCADANCEBOOK McLeod Although I agree with you, boxing is also a sport and is as distinguished as other combative sports. Martial arts has for a long time been used to refer to combative systems out of Asia. No one walks around calling boxing or wrestling a martial art (although by definition that would be the case).
Wow. I'm genuinely impressed. Not only does he have a good unbiased perspective on these various topics, he pretty much stated that techniques from forms need to be understood, practiced and pressure-tested. That's been one of my biggest issues with even the best traditional schools I've been to: a technique is taught, explained, practiced alone and with a partner, but never tested with a resisting opponent.
Thank you for what you said Sifu. I really like the part where you talk about form. I’m a Wing chun practitioner and you made me realized that indeed I must think about how my movement are used and not to be « beautiful ». Thank you so much for this interesting video.
The iron shirt chi kung is very impressive!
The tall big guy kicked him in the rib cage, and he didn't hold back his power. That's awesome.
7:46 in the end, this run...reminds me of when i practiced Kiokushin and the black belts were running behind us, kicking us in the butts if we were to slow down and stay behind from the group. We were running for our lifes :D
But it was fun and good training. Doesen't matter what kind of martial art you practice, it's good for you. Huge respect for Sifu Yan Lei, he is amazing and so humble. ( looks terrifing though ) :D
Osu !
training and conditioning - looks the same no matter what the style, there are no shortcuts
Agree brother
That is a Kung Fu Sifu!
Thanks for sharing this sometimes we need to hear specific things that remind us of our past training. What he said took me back, and he spoke with purity. When I was younger I trained with Shi Yan Ming I understand and appreciate the Shaolin temple method.
When you train the body with extremities the body will endure and learn as long as you always practice.
This is called conditioned fighter.
Yes but they said a lot about forms and preparations too! It's not just trashing the body in a sea of destruction, they even said something about feeling and understanding the form and knowing how it affects you. That is building a solid foundation. Chi, endurance, self control, self consciousness... All that not to destroy oneself nor throw oneself into a lack of control.
We that are young and start to explore our energy... please don't forget to know and listen to yourself too. I had very hard times due to not doing that... I hope you don't need hard times like that... It takes patience.
Forms, gigong and fighting must be combined together; this is Shaolin Gongfu. Real gongfu is not only beautiful but also useful for protecting my self and defending the oppressed.
satnamo
satnamo 100% agree!
@Do Bo yes but i can not keep a gun in my pocket all the time!
Learning kungfu, tkd, bjj, jet kune do, karate, they are all forms;specific ones. But to say kungfu is bullshit is like saying kungfu practitioner like yilong is bullshit, and the fact that yilong beat world champ tkd guy so easily, does that mean tkd is bullshit ? No ... Because top ufc fighter like Anthony showtime pettis and ben henderson are tkd fighters.
What a nice video, well done, filmed with many aspects of the teaching, so audience can have a great taste of shifu yanlei. Shifu yanlei is so funny, quote "kung fu is not rubbish, maybe you are the rubbish" such a classic story teller. I like him. Is there a chance he is coming back again, shot another video?
Yes
Great teachings from a great máster!!! thanks for sharing!!!🙏🙏🙏
I think this is a very good video to show your philosophy and teaching style Shifu. I particularly liked and understood the part about forms and the importance of making them useful for fighting. I began martial arts to deal with fear and defend myself so I always think about this. I hope to be a student someday. Thank you for all you do. 🙏
Shaolin Congfu=99%practice+1%theory.
What is Congfu theory ?
Congfu is about das practice because practice is congfu.
You can see passion flowing from his eyes. This dude loves martial arts.
De eye is das only real sign of genius
For the contemplative gaze has something vivid and steady about it
As in das eyes of geniuses
The white membrane over the pupil is visible.
Totally agree with what he said.its the practitioner that makes his art effective.
He seems to be an extraordinary teacher.
Absolutely brilliant content Shifu, loving your videos, very inspirational thaks for sharing your knowledge with us.✊👊
Happiness never decrease by sharing because sharing is caring.
His philosophy is true and training external and internal is also true if you want to master the art. Everything must be balance, just like the principle of Yin Yang
Yin Yang.
I am in you because you are in me;
We are 1!
Oneness within oneself
Brings oneness with das whole universe.
How do I know that I am one with das whole universe ?
When time slows down.
Have fun
Be focus
Stay immerse
That is congfu
I really need this Master artist in my life
I would love ❤️ to work with him
He is absolutely outstanding 🙏🏾
What is stopping you ?
Everybody is kung-fu-fighting🎼🎶🎵
Shaolin Congfu is not about fighting because fighting hurts not only das human body but also das heart.
The winner usually becomes arrogant;
And das loser always wants revenge.
This is Good Stuff. Much like I was (Creed wise) Aesthetically "Pleasing" But Brutally Pragmatic. THIS is true Kung Fu.
"nothing best!. Depends on who is practicing"
yes ,but some teachers are bad pratictioner and have bad student,who will being bad teacher etc..
Yes definitely a true Master of the Art including both the subtle spiritual yin aspect the Chi Kung and yang aspect of the hard body conditioning and training drills and fighting principals.
RESPECT. :)>
It's really refreshing to see proper Kung-Fu. Good focus on breathing, Qi Gong, deep stances and good mindset. BUT STILL STAYING PRACTICAL FOR REAL COMBAT!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Joe Rogan thinks Kung Fu is rubbish! I'd like to see him go 1 round with Shifu Yan Lei
Kung fu with cardio, body and mind conditioning, pad and bag work, stretching, useful fighting techniques, sparring! A trainer who knows his stuff, and has an athletic body!! Now this is the type of kung fu you could take to the ring.
I rather take my kind of congfu to das seas and mountains.
I would love to learn from you, really a great martial artist you are.
Kungfu Shaolin is The real kungfu.
It’s true in hundreds years ago. Now government forbids real Kungfu. And by the way, real Kung fu is always with weapon just like stick and sword, 90% practice is for weapon skill. Today’s China forbid any weapon.
Betul bro
We in the Kung Fu world need more of this. Sharing, experiencing, and experimenting with other the arts or others arts. This was a well educated and purposeful video. I hope to see much more like this.
he is a fake monk, real monks were killed by mao
@@Supermomo2007 I can see you dont have a clue
@@gnicevids you dont have a clue, ask ramsey dewey
@@Supermomo2007 oh I need to ask him lol that because you still dont have a clue. Whatever guy believe what you want
@@gnicevidsyou are idiot, go read internet
Thank you for this. A martial art is only as good as its practitioner always. Practitioner first system second🙏🙏🙏
Shifu Yan Lei , he is the best Chinese teacher who agree like
Buddha be praised! Martial training reveals to the practitioner his true self... if trained properly ;)
Thank you for the words of wisdom.
Thanks fam!
he was here in Germany wow
This is eye opener...this is like the real stuff you know..it makes you "thinking" as you train...
Ultimately,
Shaolin Congfu is about
Stop thinking.
Just do it my friends because there is no wrong practice;
Only wrong attitude.
Have fun
Be focus
Stay immerse
That is congfu jb!
Thank you for this beautiful form and wise information. Much respect to you all.
If you have a Shaolin temple in Belgium!! I'd much appreciate the info on how to get there!!!!! Thank you

#1 disciple of Master Shi Heng Yi
That make sense if you train or study about a thing you want in this life you're gona get it because just practice its going to take you fullfil your goal-
True G!
I think xu xiao dong would not fight this guy.. :p
This "do not take the hit...bounce around the hit" has got me thinking...i mean it is very different from what i have always thought and practised....
Das truth sounds paradoxical.
Das beste sound is no sound.
So beautiful and well stated. I have not heard Shifu Yan Lei speak before; seeing him next to Shi Heng Yi is like witnessing Yang & Yin energies embodied!! XD And you can see how much they bolster one another.
Me gustaría mucho se habilitarán subtítulos en más idiomas, por ejemplo español, gracias.
A wonderful video. He has a calmness inside him! Forms are important, they teach you balance how to move in different ways, goes from one movement to another, hand to foot technique, foot to elbow, knees, etc. Amazing video!!
I love my forms
Boa noite mestre muito bom treinador
Thanks for sharing, Great Video 🙏🙇♀️
🙏
Yesterday is only a memory.
Tomorrow is only a vision.
Today is my favorite.
MMA is good for the ring, with referees, judges and rules...what Shifu says is true...the discipline does not outweigh the person training in the discipline...I'm pretty sure it's some people who trained in the strip mall MMA classes who thought that what they learned would help them in a street fight just because MMA is popular and got their wig split
Also in the world of cookie cutter MMA fighters there are some traditional martial arts guys who have became champions in the sport of MMA and it wasn't because of the style they are disciplined in...it was because they were disciplined fighters
This is very positive training for mind and body. I wish to join Shaolin Temple Europe someday! Love and respect from the United States!
Yall know a legit master when u see one
Have I ever seen a real Shaolin master fall from das sky ?
Here you can see the difference in how you train, not what somebody trains. The intend and the usefulness here is so clear.
Thanks for this.
I'm a Kyokushin practisioner and I see this kind of training very rare outside of other Full Contact Martial Arts like Boxing or BJJ or MMA and so on.
1 day I wouldn't mind mind retiring training every day learning over there
Life may be long or short.
He who lives fully now
Is ready to die at any moment now.
Tomorrow will never come because das time is now since now is de time.
Kung fu is the Best. Tank you Shaolin👍❤
"Nothing best! Depends on who is practicing."
- Yan Lei
This is what a REAL Kung Fu looks like!!!! Made for WAR!!!
Спасибо!
So when do learn how to get super powers and become super humans just like the movies
He is the few person in shaolin could tell the truth. Make your body your weapon. Kongfu is not beautiful, but practical.
Shaolin Congfu is not only beautiful but also powerful.
A freeman is a warrior.
He must require strength because
Otherwise he will never attain power.
the most impressive thing i find about him is he trains this hard purely for self attainment. Not for competition, no ego, no pride. respect.
Self mastery is das ultimate form of power-
Power itself.
What is good ?
An increase of power.
I practice taichi, but I enjoy so much watching your videos. Your strength, power and always take time to explain what, why and how! Thanks for your time. I talk about your videos whenever I have the opportunity.💪
Everything he said about training and attitude is true, much respect Shifu Yan Lei.
Love it very insightful and shows how stretching can help a lot especially muscles you rarely use until your doing some exercises
Exelente sifu. Meu nome Williame ..cidade fortaleza ...Brasil
Thank you for explaining !
Nice, thanks Shifu Yan Lei
Respect for the Chinese kungfu. Bad ass coach 👍
Yan laoshi hao ! Very smart and wise Sifu ! It´s an honor to practice under this type of master, enjoy it but remember, hard work and yin yang balance are the key :) In the end it all pays off !
Remember to have fun while we are here because no one is getting out of this life alive.
It's not about what art u practice it's about how much u put urself into it making urself ultimate warrior....even a simple movement well practiced can kill opponent...only saitama realised this and became the ultimate one punch man....
saitama inspired me to train harder in kung fu
What he shows is that modern Chinese fighting is called Sanda.
He have some point ... No martial art is the best .. it depends on who study it .. it mean China really have a lot of wrong person study kongfu and mislead himself and others
Wow thanks TH-cam something you give me what I need in my recommendation
I learned many northern shaolin forms. Wish I remember them all. They’re great for cardio, mobility and some have some cool fighting application. Now as an older person I can appreciate the forms
I love northern Shaolin taolu dai chien
"Too many people focus on forms..." - Sifu Lei
"Be water my friend..." - Bruce Lee
Shaolin Congfu is about becoming das form.
Oneness within oneself
Brings oneness with das whole universe.
Oh boy this looks like it was so much FUN! 🤩
Awesome..my friend years ago lived in Shaolin temple in China. He was bald...wore thick glasses...5'7" 145 lbs. I watched him get challenged by one of my 210 lbs students who was a tough dude. My friend kindly smacked the smile off his show off face opponents. Wish I had video of it back then. Respect All= Life long life. Hebrew proverb.
very nice
This is a great video. What a great Sifu. He truly cares and teaches a true art. 😎🙏🏼💙
What is great ?
Man is a rope
And not a goal.
He is a rope
Stretches between human and das Superman
Over an abyss.
this videos are so much inspiration
What an amazing attitude and approach.
It's a Dream to see ShiYanLei and ShiHengYi together
Go to Shaolin temple Europe website, it's in Germany, Yan Lei is on their training schedule throughout the year, if you really want to see them you can save and attend for training there at a time when he is there, saving for it myself.
They are both sincere personality which gain great respect.

2 Masters together. Respect.
Master Shi Heng Yi
This guy is a beast.
Shifu Yan Lei is the embodiment of dynamism and power! He is tough, telling what he feels in a straight forward way and at the same time, has a fun and playful spirit. Useful can be beautiful! Admirable, is Shi Heng Yi, who listens with tremendous respect and acceptance. Wonderful that these two brothers can come together with ease. 😊 Appreciate the list of 6 "Qi Gong Videos for Beginners from Shaolin Temple Europe" and the list of 9 videos of interviews and Q+A by Shi Heng Yi. 🙏
If I would have known that he is there, I would have visited the Temple!!
I have watched his movie and use his energy brush.
What a pitty! I am German btw. Is coming back soon?
God is dead because he dies of pity for mankind’s sin on a X
Much love 💗 thank you 🙏
好 powerful
