China’s Shaolin Temple is renowned as the birthplace of kung fu, and warrior monks have been training there for thousands of years as a way to cultivate both their spiritual and practical fighting skills. Now I do CrossFit workouts pretty regularly and I’m decently fit but recently I thought it would be interesting to see what it would be like to instead train and live like a Shaolin warrior monk.
Now fortunately there is actually a real-life 34th generation Shaolin monk who runs his own temple only a few blocks away from my apartment in NYC. According to his Wikipedia page he can break rocks with his skull, deflect blades with his skin, and sleep while hanging upside down from a tree branch. I’ve met him before and I can tell you he’s the real deal. So I decided to spend a week with him learning the ways of the Shaolin warrior monks.
Here’s a link to the Shaolin Temple website if you’re interested in taking classes with them: usashaolintemp...

Bro really be a white multilingual ninja master at this point
being a multilingual ninja master is probably the best title a human could ever have lmao
Hahahaha this is true 😂
I just wanna know, what does he know that we don't know, learning all these languages and kung fu? 🙂
Its what this world demands
LEGIT COULDNT THINK OF THE RIGHT WORDS TO DESCRIBE HIM BUT YEA 100%
Man! You improved so much in just one week, imagine being there for a year!!! You should give a try man, that’s an experience many people would kill for

That shaolin master is so flexible his limbs don’t even look attached anymore his range of motion is insane 👀
Should stick with that fella. You’ll be amazed after even six months of training.

I like the Wu Tang banner in the back ground... awesome...
Those monks defy what I think Is impossible for a human! So amazing!!
this was so fucking awesome, i want to see more !!
You should definitely make this part of your life. Once a week at least
Nah
This is a lifestyle you have to commit to and live by, it’d be hard to limit it to once a week
@@ludos13 yessir
@@ludos13 Very true words spoken, but even then if he did it once a week his entire life he'll still see some improvements.
Anybody who dislikes this is a fooookin bot.. This is amazing!!!
You can tell that guy is the real deal, he lives, breathes, eats, and sleeps in that dojo. That's amazing, immense respect.
Study Muay Thai in Thailand. A very no-nonsense striking art and one the few styles that are actually implemented in modern MMA competitions ( minus the elbow strikes to the head )
It’s time for a Xiaoma Showdown
Man I am so proud of you. Say hello to the master. He taught you well.
He's doing REAL training now. This was the sort I used to do.
1:03 YESS Xiaoma you speak my language!! Great work!!!
Thanks for your reply drop your number to earn massively in crypto
He shows a powerful message and very inspiring to see and watch you learn makes me more inspired I've also been learning chinese from home like loshuu RIP but I will try my best also for you both importation
I now have The Beatles Eight Day A Week stuck in my head
BY FAR MY FAVORITE VIDEO,LOVE TO SEE YOU COMBINE LANGUAGE AND MARTIAL ARTS, ITS AMAZING!!!!
You should continue your training, xiaoma, that will be an amazing journey for you!
@Xiaomanyc जिंदगी कैसी चल रही है what are you talking about? :-) )))
XIOMAN THIS WAS SO ENLIGHTENING
My bosses are a lovely couple who recently moved from China to America to start a tea / bubble tea restaurant. All of our tea & merchandise comes from China as well.
When the Monk said “we use orange peel tea to regulate our qi” it brought me back to the moment I sold a tin of high quality Pu’er Orange Peel tea at my work. I don’t think we have it in stock but oh my god, I’m definitely trying it now. (Respectfully)
anyone seen Ranton’s video on how they stretched him at the Temple? i’m just imagining what horrors this Monk went through to get that flexible 😂😂😂
I love that you went, you are now friends!
This master is awesome guy to be around.
Real life karate kid we love you from NZ Aotearoa much love bro
I love you and your videos. This was another great one. If I may criticize a bit I would reccomend you even out all the audio levels so some parts aren't significantly louder than other parts. Thank you! Best of wishes.
I LOVE YOUR PONI VIDEOS !, I WANT TO LEARN JUST AS YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION!
You know one time I trained like a lazy American for a week. Didn’t have to change anything about my lifestyle cause I’m already a lazy American. Pretty neat
I was going to commend you on writing a fairly long comment, but then I realized you forgot a period at the end. So lazy! 😂
That's okay. These guys probably only fight each other anyway. You really got to want this punishment.
Bro you gotta keep going to this classes like a Genuinely like that part of you learning more in depth their art
Your brain is amazing 💡 And now with your 2nd physical training sesh your muscles will match that brain 😅
I need more videos on those stretches man ! Get on it !
If you enjoyed training in Kung Fu, you should definitely keep attending as a student!
I’m a student in Tang Soo Do Karate 🥋 and it’s giving me way more than I could have ever thought possible.
I literally just survived my Green belt second stripe test yesterday. It was the hardest test yet, but the pride I have in myself for achieving hard things is worth it!
I’m getting my red belt in the summer, and then in 3 years my Black Belt. 🥋
Love your Videos! ❤️
I’m definitely trying to learn Mandarin so I can communicate better in my job.
You can physically see how exhausted he is at the end of the video when they were wrapping things up. Holy moly all that training must have taken a toll on him.
Sorry, Xiaoma, but I laughed a lot during the red buckets part 😆. I thought about doing that myself, because I have pretty weak shoulders and arms…
Don’t forget, it’s very important to stretch before and after workouts. If you can, you should add this to your workout regime. It greatly reduces the risk of injury especially when lifting. Don’t forget to push yourself each time you stretch. 👍
CONTINUE TRAINING PLEASE!!! 💯💯💯🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😫
Nice work xiao! Keep it up and be healthy sir!
The first I heard Shi Yan Ming when was watching an episode of Stan Lee’s Superhumans.
his words are so insppirational... especially the wimp part LOL

Hey, I really love this series, please keep filming. Thank you!
🌞🌻🤗
I say keep doing the training and in a year you’ll be doing martial arts as part of your content.
Also, please don’t drop weights above the knee. I could hear so many cries of pain from gym people for that one :)
This guy has a really big heart.
Keep doing Shaolin training and CrossFit and I will sub.
The Wu Tang Clan trained with him!
My Shifu was Shi Miao Jie he is amazing!!
My first reaction on seeing your title was You did What!!
But great vid man and much respect ✊
Don’t give up! Keep going!
10:10 come on, bro. you gotta be kiddin' me.
You are very fortunate to have met such a great master of the art.
This was awesome! You should keep learning and make a series! 🤙🤙
2:11 damn... you're more fit than i thought xD

I lived with my teacher for awhile. Training was 5am all day. Painful internally and externally. But worth every drop of sweat and blood.
Oh my god, your channel is getting very interesting now.
The wu tang logo at 10:19! Hip Hop!
10:13 wu tang clan ain't nuttin to fuck with
the wu-tang symbol got me.
🚨😆More Chi ... Train Harder!😆🚨
Doing that water bucket thing without the bucket is already hard enough
I could feel that bucket training in my soul😩
Awesome job Dude
As you can see two humans practice their universal greeting of t-posing to one another
You should become a disciple of this master. You live so close to him. Have him at leach you Chi Kung for health.
we should get Ranton onto this and review it ahahaha!
lol how do I get on a video? I live in the city and love your content
my old hs has a new Mandarin class would be great if you had a trip with them in the future
Bro by just watching this I want to learn this
I still don't believe the Warrior is nearly 60. Outrageous!
Great exercises.
Would've loved to see you keep going though after 1 week tbh
10:12 Wu-Tang Clan!
Like the Marine Corp method of training theirs 3 way to do everything the easy way the hard and the Marine way or in this case the shaolin way
Ni hao pengyou (hopefully it’s correct)
😎🤙🏼 just wanted to share with you and whomever reads this that this guy here has inspired many I’m positive in that, but I’m also happy to say that I’m in that same 🚂 now.! Mandarin here we come 💪🏼🤨❗️ yo xiaoma, how much for private classes bro 🤔.?
damn the water bucket training is brutal
Awesome...looking good
was dope asf i would die to hang out with tht cool monk and learn new things
How I wish I can be trained by monks too
I’m sitting here yelling push yourself
Great vid
The Karate Kids IRL, lmao.
The bucket thing hurt me just watching it
TH-cam glitched again. 39 comments, 117 likes, but only 7 views strange
Not gon lie.. that was tuff
I wanna see how this guy would do in a UFC ring
Not so well. Modern king fu is mixed within other practical fight styles (mma), but imo traditional martial arts are more a form of art.
Why aim so low? I wanna see how UFC guys would do training their mind, body, and spirit as monks. Now that would be interesting.
Just to be clear, I don't mean to give the intention that king fu is easy.
go watch YI long :)
xiaoma getting deprresed each training day passed lol but its okay, hes doing great
The monk had 3 darker fingertips. Frostbite?? Probably during training.
This is a freaking good video hahaha
Xiaomanyc The language warrior he would use all types of languages to defeat other warriors 🌝
I hope you are doing alright
Keep this up. Forget crossfit lol
He’s a beast
You remind me of Ari in Beijing
Best video
I love taekwondo now because of Korea in video games and love shaolin now because I have been single and virgin nearly 30. Guess would be alone for rest of my life - so better train in taekwondo and shaolin.
Very excited to see this I do parts of monk training at home alot I enjoy their exercise and life style
You should continue doing this, and make monthly updates on training
I'd definitely sub if that were the case.
Agreed, loved this video!
Omg yeees
@@hirokawiti4932 your not subbed anyways?
@@shillian4770 no, he's in my recommended often though
Imagine walking home and seeing Xiaoma doing this shit lmao
"i guess he on his way to defeat villain boss :v"
Yes!
It’s crazy how seamlessly the monk can switch between English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese!
