  • Today I take a look at the recently released Mini-Documentary that the BBC filmed at the Shaolin Temple in China.
    I spend three years at the Shaolin Temple training with the monks so this one is particularly interesting to me because I immediatly recognized the face on the thumbnail. So why not use this opportunity to give you guys my insights into how these videos are made and how accurate they actually are. ENJOY!
    Here's the original BBC Video:

    • @mulberry_chrysanthemum670
      @mulberry_chrysanthemum670 3 ปีที่แล้ว +169

      I think he only liked it because almost all the people who were shown were people he knew plus the nostalgia of some of the filming locations. It makes me think his final verdict is more of a "guilty pleasure" sort of thing......but I really would like to know what the other "Shaolin" documentaries Ranton has seen show if this was supposedly the best he's seen so far?

    • @joaoaugustolandim

    • @edmis90
      @edmis90 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      That's because he cut the video a lot. What was left in? Mostly the parts he disagreed or saw someone familiar to him.
      We literally don't see it from his perspective because he cut out most of it - which is why the summary of his looks odd and funny for us.

      Obviously it wasn't "discovered by hollywood" but it also wasn't discovered by hong kong cinema. The Hollywood TV show "Kung Fu" which started in 1972 and ended 1975 partially helped made Shaolin Temple big again, and was signficantly before the two hong kong movies he shows/mentions, "Shaolin Temple" which was in 1981, and The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978). The earliest Hong Kong films that heavily feature Shaolin Temple that I can find, or feature it at all, were in 1974, 2 years after the Hollywood TV show Kung Fu in 1972 was a huge hit and helped make it big again.

      @@dannyhightower911 : DVD did not existed in 1970s, let's be honest about that. So his perception of the world.. through a time-manner and historical manner does NOT exist? Have you noticed this? So even just based on what you wrote, it is correct then... it "was" created in Hollywood, in 1972 !!!
      According to wiki:
      " In October 1971, the PRC replaced the Republic of China in the United Nations, and took its seat as a permanent member of the Security Council."
      So that, this is correct. PRC was formed in 1971. The Hollywood "discovered" Shaolin in 1972. The viewer, assumes that, this is a "globalist" view. "Shaolin had always existed, and was never "discovered"...." Well.. hardly the correct context, is it ?!....
      I have never seen this man before, and nor have I actually known that, people inside China, and in the USA.. is getting more arrogant on social media. Like, the rest of the world does not exist. And it is very funny too, that he just knows about HK, but he had NO idea.. about the rest of the world, and their help, or involvements, in helping the world rise in wealth. Even Yukon Wang would not say such things. I can now see why having a foreign individual, in another country really help settle the world's global views.

    To the viewers:
    It is NOT the media that presented Shaolin Temple the way you see in this documentary. It is the marketing department from Shaolin! Shaolin has evolved so much to monetize everything during recent years under some leaders. They did not interfere anything about the way of training and meditating, but they did teach their monks how to behave in front of the cameras, how to perform regular performance for tourists, how to sell the peaceful and cultured Shaolin Temple Idea with a Kungfu force just to protect their villages.

    Just found your channel and love this video. I had the pleasure to train at the Shaolin temple while in Zhengzhou as my dojo travelled through China. One of my favourite memories was being trained in one of the 'tourist' areas you mentioned that was not typically used...which meant when the daily groups of American paying tourists came visiting expecting to see expert Shaolin monks fighting all they saw was a bunch of white Canadians doing the absolute basics.

      Probably give the guy about 11 seconds against Mike Tyson in his prime. Who cares about 'war' and silly words. They mean nothing when you are picking your teeth up off the floor, or as we found in Syria, someone elses entire head.

      Rainfeather Precisely; I respect Shaolin for the discipline presented by many (if not all) of its members. But there is a reason that Kung Fu is not used by virtually any major mixed martial artist; despite looking really cool, most MMA fighters would wipe the floor with the average Kung Fu practitioner.

    • @ErraticFaith
      @ErraticFaith 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Arminius Chieftain of the Cherusci I get the vibe of what you are trying to convey. Sadly many of these monks are simply charlatans with no actual fighting ability. The Information Age has exposed that all too well, so I won’t focus too much on it. We all know their ‘styles’ are all useless. I’m still baffled as to why so many dedicate their time to such nonsensical rubbish but that’s besides the point. You are certainly right about discipline in all its forms being admirable and I only wish that it was always well placed in things that are worthwhile. If this gentleman regards war as his primary concern he should be mindful of advances in the sphere of combat and that MMA (the mentality, similarly conveyed in JKD concepts) is the only effectual and worthwhile approach.
      With old so called ‘masters’ in the past, off the top of my head the likes of Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi; who also championed adaptation and thinking off the cuff - you’d have thought they would have been wise to all of it years ago.
      Instead they prey on people’s lack of common sense. Short and direct is always best. It’s what’s kept boxing around for so long. You don’t need complicated. In the heat of it, it can and will get you killed.

      maybe i shouldn't tell you too much but from one of my close friend who's borned in henan, he repetitively tells me of sighting monks who drinks in bars, drinks beer at street stalls and grab girlfriends for ONS all the time, Shi Yongxin an abbot of the monastery is basically acting like a money boss these days, owning a handful of business in town, makes money off a handful of film and video game company partnerships and having scandals of multiple divorced wives(not sure if true), a while ago he called out to help the divorced movie star Wang Baoqiang with money, because he used to be a disciple in the temple, these shit all goes against a traditional image of an monk, not to mention being an abbot. So sorry to ruin the image for you yet again, I know this might be the reality of the China today and such might be one of the only ways for shaolin to survive, but sometimes it's nothing but a niche business

      Even martial art that aren't as hardcore as this, you get beaten with sticks. I remember one day coming home with my wrist red full of little blood spots from the hitting. We were hitting each other with bamboo swords and wooden sticks. Then we trained to dodge stabbing but it was with wooden knives. To say the least, not enjoyable but good because it makes you tougher.

    I was heavily into Kung Fu films from 70's and 80's in my youth and all the way into my mid 20's then it seems it became a lost art, but I always loved the mysticism surrounding it in the films and Shaolin was usually involved in almost all of them. We had a program in the U.S.. can't remember what day or time but it was Kung Fu Theater and they would play 2 films. I always watched them.

    A few years ago the BBC also had a series about an English Shaolin monk who was trying to find people with the potential to go to train at Shaolin Temple. Few made it through the selection process and many couldn't cope with the harsh training. Unfortunately there seem to be no videos on TH-cam about it and I can't recall the name of the series! If anyone knows they can maybe give you another programme to watch and comment on.
