"Don't let your weakness win. Staying negative is easy, Staying positive is difficult"
- Shifu YanLei
This is relevant, especially now a days
@@stellarex8569 things have always been bad for thousands of years but it's the negatives that are always at the forefront to be seen
plays a role in any aspect of life
ryukenb2k you can’t just call someone a fake shaolin monk when you don’t know everything not all Buddhism is the same maybe what you said isn’t even true there might be other reasons as well it’s just rude for you to say something like that
@@tommynguyen6176 i think following the teachings of buddhism is a good everyday practice, however, rules that prevents one from staying happy by starting a family is something that should be changed. We do live in the future of old religions and practices, so i think new rules is needed to better fit this generation.
Better than all these motivational videos people keep making
This makes me love this man even more ❤️❤️❤️
thank you for the beautiful movie.. I love you Shifu. Thank you for the wisdom and the inspiration
....very sad and inspiring at the same time, but we cannot choose our parents...that choice was made by GOD! Im also in very sad place myself, but i must complete the journey no matter what, good or bad.
wow much respekt and love to you all, Starseedfamily...may the family be blessed
Great spiritual warrior!! My inspiration! Eng Sub please, Thanks
beautiful and inspiring
You remind me of Mike Tyson. Much Love to ya Shifu.
100%Real gotta love him
Ladies and gentlemen - here we have an extremely rare case of a _real, genuine_ human being. Thank you Shifu, you're inspiring
David Miljkovic neverovatan! Drago mi je što postoje ovakvi ljudi!

Thank you Shifu YanLei.
From Benin, West Africa.
@Vincent Junio Yes, but with how we live and how we act, it makes perfect sense.
He must be a very good shifu!!! I would like to train with him...!! At least once!!
@Vincent Junio apparently not a no-brainer for young ppl
Assuming is a dangerous weapon. Just because you understand a quote, does not make it a fact.
I've never seen a monk cry . And honestly I watched the movie 3 times because of the genuine truth in his emotions. Truly profound. Deep respect as a man as a monk as a human being
He say on truth suffering it means to suffer is to suffer less on life because his training as a shaolin was a way of life.

Your mother sounds like mine. She would give me things like her last money to fix car if she had to. She's too good to me. And she was brought up poor. She like a saint. .. saint Julie
What a man...This is not a mask,this is pure and honest being.I liked him before,love him now.
Phill Ozoph ,what you see is what you get 👍 simple ,sincere 👍
Sad vidim iz ovog videa kako živiš,vrlo teško! Svima je život borba i prestaje jedino sa smrću i predajom. Dobro radiš,a sad to dobro i naplati. Ne jadaj se u kameru i ne podučavaj mukte.

I think you gay ...

Around 4 years ago I was over weight and unhappy and saw him on TH-cam training. I was driven to train non stop because he was so genuine and inspiring . It slowly became a habit and now I train smart as part of my daily life. I have a business and I’m strong lean and feeling better. Thanks Shifu
45? He looks like he's in his 30's...goes to show what happens when you have the discipline to keep fit!
Trying not to cry at the end for shifu Yan Lei
I feel similarly. When I exercise very hard I feel peace. Today, for example, I was in a pretty horrible mood and it helped those raw emotions calm down. Less anxiety, paranoia, and depression.
As he says staying negative is easy staying positive is difficult. I couldn't agree more.
Doing nothing and staying with laziness is easy. But Doing something and hard training is difficult. Didn't you get the point
Indeed today we get miserable with our pointless jobs in the west
Wow! The part where he said his mother had saved all the money he had sent her, knowing he might one day need it was very selfless and powerfull😢.. Also him talking about how he was not there when his parents passed on and the regret he has for not spending more time with them hits home for me also.. Family is everything and I think in this day and age of "self righteousness" we have for the majority lost the true sight of what really matters most "Our families".. May we all reflect upon this and do what is right, and make time in our "busy lives" to reach out to the ones we love and keep a close relationship with them and cherish what little time we have here on this earth with them because life is but a vapor..🙏
He who looks back on life dies before his time.
Live on.
Look forward to the next day as a great adventure that lies ahead of me.
@@satnamo I strongly disagree, it is important to reflect on the past(but not live in it) in order to learn from our transgressions/ downfalls and make better choices for the future.. Of course that being said I fully understand we can't turn back the clock and change that which has already happened, but we can surely learn from those things in order to make better choices on the road ahead🙏
@@satnamo regret & reflection are important, it's what makes us human. but yes don't let it consume 🙇
Not if you have a dysfunctional toxic family that living with is bad for mental health.

Allah? Allah is Satan. Burn the Koran and read the Bible. Jesus is the Way, Truth, and Life.
I used to train with Shifu Yanlei and his brother Shifu Yanzi back in the Uk and it was a great experience. Everything i've learned from them is stuck within me forever. And seeing Shifu Yanlei open up like that just shows how great of a person he was and still is. We are not in this world to be perfect but to help each other reach our full potential and goals whether big or small. Thank you Shifu Yanlei 🙏
That was great - this man is an inspiration and I’ve been watching his content for months now. Because of these videos I began working out again and it’s become a consistent habit - thank you Shifu!
Same here brother, he has the answer we were looking at.
Gratitude.
We all have struggles, worries, dreams, faults, aspirations and tears. Even thousands of miles apart. May God bless this man.
"The young people they think they got a lot of time"
especially gals
And this is the reason why i want to train at the temple some day, even if for only a week. Just so i can be surrounded by such strong & positive individuals as shifu yanlei. Could be life a changing experience. This brightened my day. Thank you shifu.
I'd say if you want to get the most out of shaolin go for at least 6 months. But prepare yourself for training all day.
@@wildrain8602 do you know Shaolin temples that you can travel to and live and train at? It would be an incredible experience for a few months
What an amazing individual, as a fellow martial artist he definitely embodies all that is right in the world! And what a beast he is too...💪🏻
If we would have more people like this in our world, there would be no wars!🙏
Yeah right, The military industrial complex can corrupt anybody
@@NathanSander777 you don't need wars for Material Arts
Oh Yeah There would never have been ma if there wasn’t wars. If there are no wars, the government would make ma illegal.
True WingChun is it people’s fault that they grew up in a bad environment, with no role models or people to tell them what’s right or wrong? Most people don’t know the reason of crime, poverty, war etc. So yea instead of judging people try being in their own shoes with no options
It doesn't matter how much you think. If you don't put in the action, nothing happens.
I am a healer in America and my heart broke for you, I am of Chinese and Spanish decent and bind both worlds of healing ,the pain you suffered is unique to you in your experiences and for others it has claimed lives but for you the difference is you are sharp as a sword because you went through fire then were beaten and each time you felt weaker but like a well forged sword to become strong it had to be folded over its self time and time again .Your physical strength and skill will never defeat the emotional burden of the soul that is a different type of strength and must be combatted inside. I have done many things in my short time on this Earth and I will never master anything on this Earth or claim to but I have learned many things from you over a short period of time and am honored you humbled yourself to show who you truly are.
@B B it's sad that first thing you do is attack words of encouragement
@B B try to read. And who the fuck eats salad with mayo
Thank you, Shifu. As I re-enter martial training after a deep injury, I so appreciate your work ethic and tough brand of self-compassion.
He is the guy with the half tricep what really happen to him?
@@panoskaiolakala1053 why dont you ask him directly?? I'm certain he will be happy to answer.
Adidas stands for all day I dream about shiolin ....
Shifu Yan Lei is a true inspiration to all young people.
Amazing film Sifu. I feel really fortunate to be your student. You are truly a force of nature! Great film.
.
When you were talking about your family I cried with you. Thank you for being so humble and inspiring. Thank you for showing your humanness.
Shifu Yan Lei. I was touch with your thoughts on your Mother. Grieving is always full of ' What Ifs' You feel that you wasn't there for her, but you were exactly where your Mum wanted you to be. This has given her best wish for you. I'm sure that she is happy with that.
very beautiful impressions. I guess we often think shaolin monks are like robots and it was kind of nice to see that they have a emotional side and a backstory too. Wish you all the best and keep up the good work. I hope many people will see this documentary
Yes it is easy to forget other humans are human, once they become uniform. Because once they do, they become cogs in a machine, a participal in a thing that is not human.
Full of dignity!
Modesty IS another massive weapon !
Great story!
THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR
REAL LIVING OF PEACE AND TRAINING AND BEST OF ALL LEARNING
LIFE'S LESSONS
Thank you master for sharing your life with all of us.
The honesty in this guy is transparent.
He's nearly in tears when he goes back to where he grew up almost starts crying revisiting his thoughts of the hardship,
this is the reason that keeps him training soo hard!!!!!
Beautiful documentary! it opens you a door to a whole different perspective...:-)
Shifu, this was wonderful. Keep working hard and motivating. Great stuff!
"I'm learning because I am suffering"
Amazing video and testament , Wise , Truth , Heart , Soul , good , Thank you , SheShe
Thank you so much for this beautiful documentary, for showing your heart in such depth.
It true, when you stop training you stop learning and growing, there no end to it, never stop making improvements and progress.
I love you man, I feel you, Thank you so much for your amazing Documentary, You the best.
You are a good man and a good teacher Mr. YanLei. Life is never perfect, the only perfect thing can be our own unbreakable will. Keep it up ;)

“Your mind can’t make things happen, if you don’t take action nothing will happen”
This was really insightful. So much meaning and purpose behind what he does. He had no idea that the very combination that he thinks doesn’t make him a hero, actually does! Keep fighting, stay humble, have purpose and use your emotion 🙌🏾
A beautiful documentary. hopefully one day i can train with u.
Xu xiaodong shud fight this master not just some old masters who only practice the forms and movement but havent got the body and style conditioned for real foght
There is a difference between conceptual martial artist and a fighter , Xu Xiadong is a prizefighter and this sifu is a coceptual martial artist
This sifu might have a physical tool but i doubt if he ever been in a real fight
Audio 9999 i cant blame you if thats your belief master got some cool concepts of fighting, good physique and cool fancy moves , which i dont doubt if it really translate in a real fight.
Audio 9999 well i rest my case , if the fight happens if ever i would love to see that
Audio 9999 i just want to see this master in real fight, but for now hes just a conceptual martial artist if you know what conceptual martial artist is.
I know the pain of loss and the constant gnaw of regret. I know the sacrifice. I know that this man has always been a true inspiration to me. Thank you Shifu. What a legend.
you have found an excellent photographer... lucky in that sense, as way too many really bad photographers nowadays.
such a big heart, man. Love from Texas!
He who graduates from the University of Poverty can graduate from any University on Earth.
I always like watching these types of documentaries, it gives me a hopefully feeling because I have also many problems physically and my parents don't seem to care you know so I try to stay strong and positive when I feel alone.
Im a boxing coach i coach my kids 2 girls. and outher kid. Check out my kids boxing videos on TH-cam hit upload to see them fight Good job with the kids you trane
That was beautiful. Thank you, Shifu!
Excellent!
Aloha from Texas,

Thank you for allowing us to see a personal side of you, open and honest and with emotion, sorry you had so many difficult challenges in your life - it's made you the strong determined person you are. It inspires me to keep training. May you be happy and healthy Sifu - thank you x
I looooove what he said about people in the west, its too true, you cant be direct and to the point without offending someone, they can't handle harshness or brutal reality
Damn I hope this fucking blows up to 10 million views
Shifu Yan Lei, I am 57 years old, and I sometimes get sad that it took me so long to realize that all the materialism I struggled for, for so long, left me feeling empty, lonely and abandoned.
I have no desire for it anymore.
I have a new heart now, a new desire, to be free of things, to only have what I build with my own hands, to only eat what I plant, nurture, grow & harvest, whatever I fish for, or hunt, and to cook on what I forge, everything I want to make with my own two hands, not with tools another man or machine made. I only want to work for myself, on my land and focus on building and maintaining my strength, my skills, learning from men like you.
You are inspiring! Don't put value in the words of those who don't value your worth, because that can block you from those who do value your worth.
I lived a hard life, from birth, disease, defects, from a 9 year old child I suffered violence, I've struggled my whole life just to have everything taken from me, to be reduced in value only by what possessions I had.
It's not about what we have, it's about what we do. I once was a slave to materialism, and it drained the life from me, but I am free now to pursue the things that matter.
The American Dream used to be about that, but it turned into a system in which you're entire livelihood rests upon the Elites, and if anything happens to you that impedes on your ability to jump through their hoops, you can potentially lose everything you worked for, and then you discover what a cold son-of-a-bitch the American Dream is. And then all your loved ones & friends treat you as if you were a substance abuser, or as if you have some secret addiction that caused your age and stress related health problems. LOL! What a cluster f***.
The Rat Race be damned!
Amazing ! thank you for sharing your story Shifu.
@modern studies why what ?
Your parents are Proud of your hard work in helping others better their lives Shifu....
Thanks Sifu yan lei for inspiring me to carry on
What teaching calls for is this:
Inspiration and encouragement.
Wow such a inspiration thank you for making me grateful again for the things I do have and thank the production crew for bringing this video to the world I am truly amazed
Listen, people should be sharing this video. Do it. Imagine @joerogan and Yan Lei - legendary. Make it happen. Go.
Dear ! Brother God bless You 🙏 .
Your Mom n Dad are still with You n they care n love You .

I'm young, are fighting for I want pizza.
That caught me off guard too
I would fight for 🍕, too.
I relate a lot with what he says. My Master gave me an excellent example one day, "Imagine you are born with a million dollars, so you spent a lot without any care. But when you only have maybe 10 thousand or less you start to save it, but it´s already to late". You need to focus early on in life and do things that you love to do, because if you dont you won´t have enough time to achieve it when you are older. In a world where we are always focused on speed this is something that millions of people are missing.
11:06-11:16 that spoke to me on a deep level. I needed that. I feel you on that one shifu, keep your head up and thank you for this beautiful piece of art. Your videos/teachings have really helped me.
What do I want?
Answer:
I want to be strong and healthy too Master Shi Yan Lei!

Thanks Master.
i love it and my son love it thank you for this great content
Inspiring way of life. Real balance. tranquil, savage, content and hunger for life. Humble yet he has it all. Congratulations to him.
Great Learned a lot. Thank you.
Training does make you happy in a way I train for boxing and it really does wonders after your done
From the age of 18 to 26 all the training I did was boxing and still to this day it's my favourite.
I'm 36 now and haven't boxed in years :(
Amazing.. such emotion... passion.... dedication... I love to hear him saying he isn't perfect... gives us all something to work towards without the pressure of being perfect.. x
Thank you for giving us some insight into your life and your feelings. You must be training the wrong people, I'm English and I have trained with people from all over the world and found that some are snowflakes and some are not. You can shout, swear and hit me and most of the people I know.That's how we were brought up. As I said before I love your honesty! Deepest thanks and Respect.
Awesome! Thank you Shifu Yan Lei for sharing you story.
Does your body deteriorate over time from practicing too much/long?
CS Study Dev no...honestly no, not with good form, my body deteriorates when I get lazy, smoke more, work more, sleep more, and do everything other than LIVE MORE...i used to live martial arts in and out, now I seal it in to protect my ego, martial skills stay with you forever, just make sure you also "stay" with your skills 😩
I have allot of respect for this man, NEVER BACK DOWN!!!
Steve Legend What a fucking idiot. Go away kid.
Amazing. You guys inspired me a lot. I used to have a poster of shifu shi yanzi when I was younger and aspired to be like that. I love how you blend the traditional with modern and explore martial arts. Great video.
What a great man he is this is why I love martial arts it's not all about physical strength, technique and hard training it's also about spiritual and psychological well being, it compasses all the facets of a person as a whole.
your parents know you love them, my friend
I feel so lucky and honored to watch this about Shifu Yan Lei! He embody's all there is about Martial arts teachings. To me it was very humbling t see him show how he struggled in life and love of his family! I wish you all the success sir in your endeavors! Thank you for all you share, you are truly inspirational!
✊🏻🌷🙏🏼 Please Overcome negative memories. Please do so Sifu YanLei for your loved ones.

Thank you so much Sifu for this insight to your life. You are a true inspiration and an extremely genuine soul! Love an Respect Sir.
Amazing Content!
⚡️🔥✨⭐️🌙☀️💡
Sifu i think you should specialize in a beautiful weapon form, not just boxing. Because you are quite short you should choose a short slow heavy weapon that is not easy to move.
Powerful master in spirit and body
As Magna would say "thats a real man". This guy is awesome.
It's so hard to stay positive. But i always make it somehow. Thank you for being this inspiration. My friends ask why i train..and i could never answer..because they don't understand.. the battle is within. Truthfully i don't know if imma be alive for years or succumb to my weakness...but i will always remember warriors like you. That inspire soon to become warriors like me. Thank you.
Honor and strength to you. Deeply impressed by your story. Thanks for all your wisdom and that you share it with us. You are truly a martial artist.
Thank you for sharing your life story, you are amazing. ♡
Craving validation will only arm outer mind... Internal kung fu is harmonizing ones light and dark. Ones inner mind (ones essence ) needs the roots of outer mind for the flower of inner mind to bloom. If one lets go of impassive inquiry, one sees themselves in an others eyes. Compassion to self is compassion to others. 🙏
