How The Shaolin Temple Made Me Flexible

- In this video I will talk about how I stretched during my time at the Shaolin Temple. The training routine changed with the masters so it wasnt like this all the time, but this mostly refers to my first year where getting more flexible was the number one priority.

By the way do you feel pissed Shi Yan Lei left with real skills and started Shaolin UK and you have to be this Shaolin monk who goes back to eating meat being a beta shrugger saying do kickboxing if you want to fight, and then not being able to funnel the performance money with the other Shaolin monks who perform overseas? Not to mention selling yourself with Avatar Aang's head and patronizing disstrack vibe eyes.
at 2:49 it shows your instructor pushing down on your shoulders to assist you to complete your splits. i asked someone in my tkd class and ened up with a torn tendon and clouldnt walk comfortably for nearly 2 weeks. loool
would you get concussion from head hits in Iron head training?
Rantoni: *breathes*
His masters: *STICC TIME*

Children are very flexible in their childhood

@@sturts1234 “Children are very flexible in their childhood” As opposed to children being flexible in their adulthood?
“Man abuse even”
The more Rantoni talks about the shaolin temple, the more I question how he's alive
Some people are just able to handle more pain than others. I can punch a wall at full strength (and I'm a natural born big boi so my muscles are already kind of large even though they're not well built) and I can for the most part go on with my day despite almost having lost the feeling in my hand. But I've also trained with people who are much stronger than me but avoid using punches in spars because they can't deal with the pain in their knuckles at all. You can apply that logic to the rest of the human body.
Idk I survived it. Barely, but I did it lol and I’m definitely not gonna do it again
@@Zazzy235 Ooh have you trained at Shaolin Temple?
Blainy Kid ya, Ranton and I have very similar backgrounds, though our specialties are different lol. I was only there for a month though
@@Zazzy235 I'm so jealous T_T. I've been training for about 3 years now with a dude that specializes in Hung Ga, but considering the facts that we train 3 times a week for an hour, and I have a food addiction problem, results are tough to come by...

"You cannot love the product, but hate the way it's made". This is much deeper and more universally applicable than one might think at first.
I think it is a good quote but when you see an exhibition there is no way of knowing the methodology that leads to the performance (I am not only speaking about Shaolin, anything can fit really). It is hypocrite if you actually know and still love the final product, i hope i made myself clear haha
It might seem correct, but doesn't apply always. I can love meat, but hate the way most slaughter houses treat their animals. So I try to buy meat only from those that are much more reasonable.
Shaolin Monks might be super cool, but forcing a child to go through it is literally child abuse and indoctrination. Result shouldn't be then "oh well". It should be more like "Ok but is it worth it? Do we want this then? Can we change a thing, just slightly for the better?" Like I don't think you need to be able to do a split in 1 month. Is it not viable to do a much less brutal technique, but that would take 2 months? I'd rather take 2 months, than have my muscles ripped appart.
@@FishoD the fact is this method developed thousands of years to prove that it is just painful but barely hurt or in other words, reach a balance between effective and damage
@@FishoD And child are more stretched bcuz child body are more "flex" than adults who already formed its body
It's one of those fake quotes that make no sense if you think about it for longer than 10 minutes.
I love how Shaolin Ranton and Gaming Ranton are complete opposites
Rantoni yin and yang incarnate confirmed?
Not this time though. This time not completely.
I'll be honest, sometimes I can find gaming Ranton slightly insufferable, however, I absolutely love THIS Ranton.
This is Shaolin Desciple... who's Ranton?
Rantoni dissosiative identity disorder confirmed?

*shifu physically and emotionally abusing me*
I once slipped at home and accidentally made a split, I couldn't walk for three days because of the pain
😂😂😂

This made me wince

Ziraeal he’s half-German, half-Chinese.
It was actually a german accent. Ranton is from Germany.
@@vgrisingstudios7292 For the normal English, yeah. I'm referencing how when he gets into the explanation and some of the comedic parts he starts to speak English with an obvious Chinese accent for "Engrish"
Good example at 5:00 - 5:16
Some more ritual illusion impoverishment collapse in the vagrancy of a estrange volume of darkness.
"Stretching pain is a different kind of pain"
I couldn't agree more. I started learning Kung Fu at the age of 5, and I remember those techniques that the teacher used. In the box split, she kept kicking my feet farther and farther and I wasn't allowed to lean down 😅 (just like he said in the video and showed) so yeah, it is a very funny memory, not back then but now yes. Also when you have to sit up straight while doing the normal split and the teacher goes behind you and sits down on your thigh behind. Those are the horror stories from my Kung Fu classes that I tell my friends and they see it as torture... which is basically right but I didn't think about it like that back then.
Can you still do the front/scissor split and box split NOW? There is a 78 y.o. dude that still can raise his leg vertical straight up above his head with flattened foot at the top.
I have been practicing that for 10 years plus, still only at 60 degree angle, cannot straightened it up.. and I am 63 y.o. That senior 78 y.o. with chubby body beat me hands down.
It was same for me in Karate but I was like 7 that time so the body stretches easily.
How can someone just lean on you or push you down so you feel pain etc, WITHOUT any injury? I mean, tendons, joints, muscles under unexpected/unexperienced load must get fucked or broken no? I just can see myself doing it as it would break and tear loads of things in my body lol.
@@WhiteDraqon are you dumb? stretching hurts so much because youre litterally tearing the muscle fiber by fiber there is almost no injury unless you are fucking your body up way too fast like how you would do if you tried to lift weights that are too heavy, tendons and joints have nothing to do with this the only thing that can happen is you can tear a muscle if you go too extreme
@@WhiteDraqon i dont think they push u down with all their weight, im sure those teachers know what they are doing
when da master sneaks behind and grabbs you, you will make sounds you never heard before
"... got overly stretched by a master because they don't know when to stop."
AHHHHHHH
Wat she said
gachiHYPER
Hmm
*curls up legs*
Sssso relatable
But
Cannot complain the results
Media: Shaolin is all about focus, meditation and patience.
Ranton: They are the opposite.
I don't even trust media to interview someone down my street. I'll have to experience it myself if I want to know how it is, I don't know what to think if this guy either.
Even the Buddha has his limits.
@@jsil_ exactly. Either these weren't real original monks or he isn't telling the truth but something is off for me
In a way, some truths in there I dunno eehhhhhh?
Like focus on your form and shit like that, patience to be able to do the SAME SHIT everyday. And I have no idea if meditation can count as watching funny youtube videos after training
Thanks
You are one funny guy. I'm 74, I know I will never get to do any Kung Fu but since the covid hit I am doing the breathing exercises, Ba Duan Jin, Yi Jin Jing with Shi Heng Yi (a little bit more difficult) and I am very pleased with my progress. And now, thanks to you, I will start the stretching, slightly, no split... Thank you for your good humor!
When your workouts have a safe word you know you're doing some crucial stuff.

Ranton at Review: AUTISM
Ranton at Shaolin: calm and serious
I feel like in this one he's kind of half and half? Mostly serious but you can tell a bit of his hyperactivity trickled in
@@bill2734 Still a bit jarring lol
You should do a basic series where you take the stuff you learned in your years in martial arts and break it down to basic stuff that people can do at home to stay healthy or get slightly fitter, I'd watch the hell out of that
Master: " I was wondering what would break first, your spirit or your body"
Ranton: "NANI !!!!"
what would your family jewels be considered? or is that another just another category?
Lmao
You can achieve any flexibility you want, without pain. You just have to practice every day. Breathing IS key, as Ranton says, by breathing in oxygen, it allows your muscles to stretch more, but the "pain" is micro to full on tearing of your muscles. Also, your muscles should be warm, and you should be starting to break a sweat from movement PRIOR to starting to stretch. Can using pain increase your flexibility? Yes, and do they recover? Yes, but while they are torn, you are more susceptible to more serious injury. Just practice every day, when you are in a stretch, hold if for a couple of minutes, and as you take deep breaths in and relax, you will be able to go further in your stretch without pain, and everyday you will go a little further. You should, during that 2 min, go to the point it starts to hurt, but no further, and in 3-4 weeks if you are young and already fit, you will achieve what you want, if you are older and less fit, it could take a couple of months, but you will get there, barring any disability or other issue that otherwise prevents it.
You don't even need a full minute. Sport science studies show that holding a position has vastly decreasing benefits after 30 seconds continuously. Just make sure to use a stopwatch, cause 30 seconds in a proper stretch can feel like 2 minutes.
When your mind relaxes your body relaxes
It's also worth noting that torn muscle does not "heal" back to full condition. The result is permanent damage and loss of function, and a higher likelihood of future injury, evena after "fully healed."
Just started watching and already am a fan! I feel people tend to forget about the artist part of martial ARTIST, you eloquently explain sensitive topics while not masking causality. You are an artist in that you express yourself freely, playfully, intellectually, and genuinely while creating. Appreciate yah
Ranton: *Does not flex his big toe muscle in the right angle*
His master: So you have chosen the S T I C C
PURPLE DAGGER the most underrated comment here
Flexibility is the ability to flex and Rantoni is flexing on us with his editing prowess.

The part where the master sits on you and holds your arms is hilarious lol
Ahh, stretching. One of my childhood friend spent a summer at Shaolin and whenever his master tried to "help him" he would just yell "No I'm only here for a summer you really don't have to do that!".

So Van Damme was truly amazing.
Media: "Oh shaolin are so esoteric and focused, they are all about meditation and self-control"
Ranton: "They cry, torture each other and people are traumatized, just because their butt doesn't touch the ground. Also I like to touch myself, lul."
Gold comment
Well its the same thing I do to my gym partner on leg day. You better drop that ass boy.
@@Altiveda Ha, gayyyyyy
That question about abuse is the reason why when I was in the Marines we all agreed with our Senior Drill Instructor that it's better to just keep quiet about how we're trained for the most part around Civies. Where some civilian see's abuse, we see a correction. It's why you only ever see the bits where a DI yells at Recruits, cause if they ever saw the real thing they'd never understand. When bullets are flying you don't get a safe space, there's no stress cards. You don't get to think, you act. And the Discipline they taught us is absolutely crucial, the way it's done woks. I imagine it's something similar at the Temple.
Totally understandable
But like the temple isn’t training soldiers, also no amount of training is going to save you from a bullet. Its only so you can carry heavy gear and walk long stretch’s, maybe some of it is for stopping you from running out of cover or reacting irrationally but I doubt its necessary for them to train you so hard.
@@VainSick yeah I think a lot of it is to create traumatic memories so you act without thinking and have the thing you need to survive engrained in your psyche. It literally requires trauma and abuse to work and that's why it's so damn ugly (and also why real badasses are slow to action -- they've seen some shit)
Actually a huge amount of that is to create bonds with your squadmates rather than punishment. It's unifying in a fundamental way.
@@VainSick There is this twisted Chinese mentality (I'm ethically Chinese & I speak Chinese, to those who bother giving me flak of any kind) that hard work NEEDS to equal A HELL LOT OF pain & suffering & yes, torture. you literally CAN'T say that you've put in the work, if you actually ENJOY the process that's supposed to be grueling & torturous. btw, given how the temple has actually been involved in wars in the past, & warrior monks were really expected to do the 'warrior' part well, it kinda became a tradition, whether it needed to be so or not.
Your creativity in editing is insane. The breaks are exactly at the right time
bruh your perspective is super important. thanks for making videos. you're a smart dude
Wow, I just realized, all my non-screaming stretching means..I never actually stretched in my life!
It depends. Some people scream, some don't.
and light strechtching will make you progress too. So its not for nothing but also not as effective
I have problems of back-legs flexibility, so sometimes in the physiotherapy for my legs muscles I do two types of stretching:
1. Is what I call light stretching, basically I'm laying on a bed and the physiotherapist pushes and blocks my leg upwards, it's painful but after some time it's bearable.
2. What I call the hard stretching, I'm laying on the side and the physiotherapist sits on the bed and takes my leg and pushes it in direction of it's stomach in rotation, kind of. It's so painful... After some time I start to shaking a bit, it's not bearable but every time I do it I resist as much as the physiotherapist does it. I never make a sound.
You want to scream, but can't, because if you do, it's stick time. But yeah, if actual stretching isn't painfull, you're not doing it right.
Next up they'll bend you and all your joints the opposite way just to hear you scream lmao
so what I have learned today: - Rantons wife got overstretched by monks
- they have safewords there

@@renangeek47
oh yeah yeah
Great humour, production/editing, also relevant to my interests, thanks dude
I understand the pain.. almost the same like Taekwondo.. when I first started day 1 at age 6, all the seniors were pressing my leg to ground as hard as possible to do all the stretch and all of my friends included me were screaming. But within a month my legs are super flexible.. kicking 90 degree straight high and maintained for 2 secs ! Zero Problem ! Easy Pezy ! No Pain No Gain !
I wanna see more of you talking about your experience at the Shaolin Temple
I will 🙌
@Kakashi commentor gj, you gave him stretching PTSD
Ranton: goes to temple only able to touch his toes.
Also Ranton: comes back able to touch his toes backwards.
You know it's painful if watching this video gives you SERIOUS PTSD flashbacks. And I didn't train as hard as them
Mad respect to Shaolins
4:41 I'm sorry but I can't stop laughing. I'm CRYING
The funny thing is, I can’t tell if it was real or not 😂 obviously not the sound effect.

Loooool
So funny when you mention when the master shows up, you going into the splits whether you like it or not lol so true and definitely brings back some nostalgic fears of those times. Although I never could get my butt to the ground, that didn't stop Shifu from pushing the hell out of me.
Hahaha. It's great when he remembers the pain his accent gets more pronounced. I can see the memories of much pain when he speaks about it. Martial arts has always been like marriage and love. Love and pain go hand and hand dont they? Keep up the great work. Love to hear your take and memories of everything!

"At Shaolin they don't have the patience"
It's a paradox 😅
they learn the value of patience by going through what its like experiencing a process where there is no patience. The best way to learn.
Man I really dig your style and your content. You are not boring and you are very informative .. I will hit that ring bell for you. I like see what you got now.
Grinded for the box splits during quarantine, thank you Rantoni
I remember a mini-documentary made over 20 years ago where Sammo Hung was talking about Jackie Chan and explained how the training was done with kids for the Peking Opera... not a pretty sight, but he added that at the age those kids entered, the trauma to the body was minimal compared to a teenager or older person going through the same techniques.
So that's why they're encouraged to start at a young age
@@asillariya601 yes and kids are a lot more flexible so what they can learn and do in a week would be 5-6 months of work for an adult
"don't worry, children heal quicker when I stab them, it's not abuse"
There are indeed a wide range of factors that allow children to heal faster and more effectively than adults.
Me: I'm gonna go to the Shaolin monastery to train..

Hey ranton :)
Yes
As a dancer being flexible is the coolest, but I've definetly cried a lot while stretching.
Yeah now that I think about it a lot of flashy movements often require being very flexible tbh
I got so much second hand pain from watching him explain the splits
Awesome video, great job, great sense of humor too!!
I'm a tall guy, I handle heavy tools regularly, I think of myself as a "strong man".
This video made me realize I need to start stretching. I really am a poorly made tool right now, strong but I'm not flexible enough, and I'm lacking the discipline to stretch regularly.
thanks for inspiring me to be better Anton, this channel really has everything.
But what's point of being flexible? It's useless in sports or daily life
@@kyu7238 It's so that you can maintain your full range of motion as you age
Kyu it’s very helpful if you do martial arts or things similar, it helps prevent random cramps and tightness in muscles as well, but it’s not necessary
Kyu it can provide a lot of health benefits, also prevents cramps from working out too hard, also it stretches your muscles which allows for proper healing do to proper blood flow. A lot more I could list but it’s good to stretch every now and then, if you have a sibling you can ask them for help to put less strain on yourself.

Such a level of maturity is refreshing in youtube
Even as a kid watching all these Kung Fu movies I knew that stretching is the key to everything.
No wonder Ranton is this crazy. I love your content dude
As a former gymnast and competitive cheerleader I can confirm that we use similar tactics for le splits 🤠
The idea of having a safe word for stretching sounds like a pretty good idea

And you can get more flexible than a pretzel, without intense pain. The shaolin method just rushes it.

I for sure was the most flexible in my life when i was practising Wushu, later went on to do gymnastics and lost most of my flexibility. To do flips you dont really need to be flexible, but in wushu everything is stretching, all the kicks, and most positions are a form of stretching. Completely different ball game
Western and eastern comprehension of body mechanics, different.
Many get the mistaken idea of gymnasts being very flexible across the board, but that actually depends the KIND of gymnastics you're into. some could indeed be very damn limber, while some others, just about average. either way, gymnasts are actually wayyyy STRONGER than their image suggests.
@@FalconWindblader not sure what , or the type of gymnastics you allude to, as Stronger......
But I generally assumed gymnastics was being Flexibly Capable of Human Performance, not Weightlifting.....
@@affalee8216 Ok, this is gonna be a long one.
The type of gymnastics that most people are familiar with are the rhythmic ones-the types you see girls dancing on the mat with batons & ribbons or just by themselves, THAT one requires a hell lot of flexibility to do, no doubt about it. BUT, if you were to lack strength, your movements would look clumsy instead of graceful.
After that, there's the artistic types, the ones done on beams, vaults, bars, floor horses, still rings, just places that are generally tight, small, and most probably hanging mid-air, ESPECIALLY those of men compete in, flexibility takes a backseat. being flexible would make the performer look beautiful, but without adequate strength, they won't even be able to move in those places.
Then there's the trampoline. flexibility is still important, but lacking strength would make it very difficult to bounce around & maintain your shit.
& then, there's the group ones. flexibility requirement varies depending on the arrangement or repertoire, but you'd most probably need to lift SOMEONE ELSE up into the air, or you being lifted into the air. whatever your position, strength would be paramount in this case. you won't be able to lift someone, or you won't be able to keep your balance well, if you were to lack strength. flexibility, on the other hand, may hardly be required, if you're the one at the bottom.
As you can see, flexibility requirement wold vary, but ALL types require a good amount of strength, some even more so. don't let their generally lithe form fool you, as they actually pack A LOT of power despite NOT being bulky. a decent gymnast could easily knock the living daylights out of any average person with the right technique, because they already have the physicality, specifically the strength, to do so.
Speaking of weightlifting, one misconception is that gymnasts don't do weightlifting, but in reality, that really depends. in some of the types mentioned & positions practiced, weightlifting is actually CRUCIAL, as they'd actually need that much extra strength to do what they do.
@@FalconWindblader thanks for the uptake. Gymnastics I had, were the ones held, in Olympics.......
China won lots of those, I believe.
Halooo... I'm a yoga teacher. Just want to point out that "BREATHING" is REALLY ESSENTIAL in stretching or learning how to split. It keeps your brain relax and ignore the pain as long as possible. Everything that Ranton said in this video is so true. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You had me laughing after the nose flick.
