To those of you that say Wushu is useless - let me explain: the Chinese culture is 5000 years... Wu Shu = "Wu" = Martial "Shu" = Art - with as much focus on art and discipline as martial. let face it, in today's world, you can train your whole life, i still can take you out easily with a gun. However, art and tradition, once lost will never return - this is why China is the only surviving civilization in human history; we can trace our values and traditions alway back to when our ancestors first settle down around the yellow river. no other culture in mankind can claim that. This is something we, chinese, are proud of, which is also what we cherish. As most other nations are all so quick to follow trends in order to get ahead, e.g. Rome empire, byzantine empire, the mongol empire, even the US today, by the end of the day they end up losing their roots and eventually themselves and their civilization - due to they do not treasure tradition and a root to fall back on when true crisis hit a civilization. These "useless" arts is what maintain a nations true unity and identity during a national crisis. Is pathetic to compare MMA/UFC, a capitalistic organization with making money as ultimate goal to shaolin, an ancient practice that have survived multiple dynasty changes (please try to grasp the scope of this statement), is pointless even comparing those UFC to Shaolin - is like saying Picasso paintings are less accurate than the pictures you take with your iphone X, therefor iphone photos are better than picasso. There is a reason why your instagram post are not consider ART, regardless how much you edit with filters!
Bravo. Your words my friend hit the bear truth and the roots of problem. I think the same, and thats why my country is in big problems (from the same reason). I would like if we were like you and keep our tradition and traditional values instead of accepting the "modern global" values with all haste.
I agree and thanks a lot for the explanation, everything you said is right. I don’t have words to say what I feel , I feel sad and happy. I love the shaolin temple . Greetings from Miami
The three-section cudgel is probably the most difficult weapon to master. (I could not do it) Controlling the two end staffs with the middle staff takes massive concentration. Once they go wild it is almost impossible to not injure yourself. Mastering the nunchucks gives no advantage to learning The three-section cudgel. They basically look the same but using the the three-section cudgel is like juggling chainsaws. One slip in timing and it will whack you. I have complete respect and admiration to anyone that can train that dragon.
Mastering nunchacku gives no adavantage to mastering the 3 section cudgel? Thats just silly all life experience can be applied to almost anything. Being that they are similar (sectional weapons) some things do translate over.
@@robertostler6733 Why don't you show us all how a simple figure 8 works with the 3 section cudgel using the middle staff and with the two end sections moving simultaneously.
It's called "境隨心轉" in Chinese under the Buddhism. After Buddhism was transferred to China from ancient Hindu, Chinese monk masters spent 1000 years in order to translate all Buddhism books from Sanskrit into Chinese. I am wondering whether the real meaning of Buddhism can be completely and accurately translated into English!
@@kkwwong126 Things get lost in translation, so it is impossible. Language and culture are intertwined, there is also the Linguistic Relativity Theory. The West has a fundamentally different culture and view on life, and their language represents that. Thus translating Chinese to English, Vietnamese to English, or Indian to English means a lot of subtle meanings are lost. They might convey the general concept, but not the full message as intended.
It's beautiful what the human body can achieve and some how overcome when we are intouch, in tune and are able to find the time in our busy lives to study our natural surroundings. It's a connection and an emotion, I'm sure that passes through evey living thing. We all travel and breath the same air so why shouldn't we share the same concepts, they can not separate because we are not separate.
Just look how other life, not our own, has flourish when we have enabled ourselves and our surroundings to take a breath and recover from the footprints we have laid so eagerly in pursuit of those pictures of ourselves. Not to diminish the tragedy that has taken hold but to open ourselves up again to a new beginning and refresh our minds and try to finally take something good from all the bad.
The narrative is real, the training is hard and practical, we all know Chinese Shaolin is not a martial but only wholly for self-reflection likeness of meditation and show.
I must admit that I am utterly lost in my life. No true purpose, no balance, only chaos and lack of control. Traditional martial arts will be my salvation.
The discipline and resilience induced by Wushu is the reason for the survival of the Chinese civilization for thousands of years in the face of numerous challenges.
I love the Sanjiegun. The air about its origin is mysterious. I like to practice with an aluminum one to really get the gist of how dangerous it could be. Also if you train with a metal one, YOU LEARN NOT TO HURT YOURSELF REAL QUICK.
Especially like the last part. If inside your heart is clean, nothing is not clean. Applying to reality ie when someone keep telling you to clean up that means inside his heart is very not clean. "Mom! ...."
Attie Schutte Bro. With the way these guys train, I’d say MMA fighters would have a challenge. If you read a gung fu book, you’ll know what I mean. They literally train every part of their body until it’s as strong as steal. The only martial arts that remotely does that is Muay Thai, and they only condition their shins.
MMA can't use weapons. Cannot hit groin, cannot attack eyes, cannot strike or grasp neck, cannot rip ears, cant kick when opponent on the ground. So it is rather limiting. Not real world fighting also.
I have heard people say the rope dart is the most difficult weapon,but as a practicioner of it I disagree. The 3-sec staff is by far more difficult. I am definitely glad I didn't get assigned this weapon! But I definitely love seeing a good practicioner work them. It truly is a difficult weapon to learn.
In the Shaolin temple, Shaolin congfu disciples are taught by Shaolin congfu masters, but they also learn for themselves by doing Shaolin congfu by himself or with his congfu brothers.
I dont know how the guy would go in a real life high level fight, but i waaaay admire the level hes trained his body to and his mastery of and one of its extensions, the TSC!
There are three basic types of three sectional staff users... Those who hit themselves in the head the first day and quit, those who hit themselves the first day & persevere, and those who lie and say they didn't hit themselves on the first day.
Your distinction between art and function is a good one. I agree that these traditional practices have much they can offer. What struck me was the scene: "the monks go the super market." Here, we see them buying modern industrio-shampoos in plastic containers. Inexpensive cellphones. We see the children, as if praying, before a rack of brightly colored fetish. Their shopping cars fill with semi-agro snacks and modified foods, all brightly packaged in oil based plastics. Then, they return to the temple-- a place right out of China's rich cultural past-- The way the light falls on the floor of the hall as the doors swing open-- everything we see at the temple is like a hermits crab's shell, he having long since moved out. And we, who come scumbling along by some cosmic luck, now stand in his shell. We move along his halls; are life is the same... And yet, our true root has been made over, these past 100 years was all it took. Our root, our earth, our food, our body-- it has all been taken from us, handed back to us in a colorful and cheery comfabulation, a fabricated study group approved flavorfull trill brandishment of aggressive glad handed grumble gathering the likes of which have never been seen. China, You too, along with of course the "states" and the rest of the modern world, have been "uprooted," that is to say, de-rooted, disenfranchised.

I had one of these. I was holding the center one and twirling it on a figure eight around me. Thought o was doing good until one end came down and hit my shin before i could finish saying "oh shi.." The other end came up and cracked the back of my skull. I threw them down and never messed with them again.
Im pretty sure drunken fist is real but its very showy. White Eyebrow maybe just fictional but I wouldn't put it past some one to create a style based on the popular character.

2:29 shaolin warrior monks do not train in that area, that area is sacred and is forbidden to even go there without the abbot’s permission. That area is where all the previous abbots are buried
What he is doing is not actually fighting with it. He won't do that in a real fight. That twisting and swirling is show. If you want to see what it looks like to use the weapon in a fight, while it is choreographed, look at Shoalin Master Killer. That will give you a good idea.

Ah, what a beautiful way to live.
For sure
When the monk says it's easy, it's level is 100...
When he says it's hard, we lose count of its level.
Shrewd comment! I agree...
Superb series. The only thing they lack is better recognition. Keep it up CGTN!
佩服！真的是禅武双修，不止武艺高强，也很有智慧！
This has to be the most candid insight into Shaolin life so far, this unique story with pictures.
❤India❤china❤
Cleaning the table could cleanse Our mind. The priority is to cleanse our inner mind. When heart is clean, no other place is stained.. ♥
We learn by doing. This is the most valuable lesson in this.
Thank-You. You inspire me to continue training. Great inspiration!
少林寺 is excellent the traditional workout and culture. i think It's really way of the hardest ways. i respect 少林寺.
It's beautiful what the human body can achieve and some how overcome when we are intouch, in tune and are able to find the time in our busy lives to study our natural surroundings.

The fact they get discouraged, make mistakes and have a sense of humor is really cool. It's easy to forget how they're normal people.
I will re-watch this another 10 times for sure, the most wholesome inspiring video.
I have a dream to learn kung fu since childhood🤗🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳

Beautiful temple. Thank you for the video, xi xi. Best wishes from England.
Yes kung fu is definitely the best an oldest. Kung fu for life
Thanks brother.
Sometimes, several youtube hoaxers and lowlife trolls must taste the three-section cudgel to their dull heads.
Just one hand. Is too much
This has always been one of my favorite weapons! This was a really good segment with good Kung Fu!

And that staff is CRAZY!

Especially like the last part. If inside your heart is clean, nothing is not clean.
Applying to reality ie when someone keep telling you to clean up that means inside his heart is very not clean.
