@Plautus egal prob not
Would you be interested in doing a video with Tim Witherspoon the 2 time world heavy weighjt champion?
@Plautus egal bro its the shaolin temple,we are here to learn wushu not to be gay,do it somewhere else cause its not a good place to do it
@Plautus egal CAUSE THE SHAOLIN TEMPLE IS FUCKING FROM CHINA AND ITS BUDDIST,im buddist and i dont think they hate lgbtq+ but its not a good idea,trust me
@Jesus is the truth the resurrection and the light not rlly,if ur ready to change ur religion yeah,but if u dont even have any chinese martial arts expirence dont think about it
"Learn how to small talk in chinese"
I dont even know how to small talk in my native language
same bro, same.
mood
What is small talk?
@@Kasy21 sort of like casual chatting
@@Kasy21 I speak 4 languages. Yet suck at it especially with females.
Me finally joining the Shaolin Temple:
*Now where’s Master Shifu?*
Fezbal
May he find *INNER PEACE*
Shifu is master in Mandarin idiot
XW Ah

@@xwah5016 pretty sure it was a joke.. guess you didn't catch it.
Dead.
2019:I can’t wait to go to shaolin temple
2020:is there online training?
哈哈哈
Lol
Why you steal my comment
@@uglynerd9436 ur the on who stole this comment
@@conehead_mark1853 what?
I have a friend that spent extensive time at the Shaolin temple, his stories are legendary, of course he has no pictures, and his family told me he has never been to China lol
I have a friend like that as well. I dont know how he has fitted so much in his few years alive lol...he's one of these lads that has done everything lol
True legend
Can you share some of these legenadary stories?
I HAVE THAT KIND OF A FRIEND TOO. HE SAID HE SPOKE TO 2 PAC IN THE YEAR OF 2006.
He probably did it via VR.
Idiots going to China to learn Shaolin be like, "where the subtitles?"
Some random guy with internet
I’m ur first like
franku
Applies to weebs as well
Americans be like "why arent they speaking english?"
Ah a Japanese joke
Lol I've stayed in a lot of monasteries and it cracks me up when people say "I'm sick of people I want to live in a monastery!", You mean you're sick of people so you want to live in close quarters with strangers day in day out whom you have nothing in common with?
Yeah true but they mostly Think of the movie monasteries where they are big and beautifiul and nobody needs to Talk to each other and everbody has a big room. And you just metitate all day
@@ULTRAOutdoorsman Or just live in a cave, Sholin = kungfu/peace is just too cliche
They could really mean (these people)
I find it easier to get along with strangers I knw nothing about. But once Ive known them for a certain amount of time I tend to start avoiding them. Idk, i just dont wanna have to make small talk all the time. Its easier with strangers but once those strangers become acquaintances then I just dont knw wht to talk about anymore lol
Actually “I’m sick because of coronavirus”

Me when I get to the temple: *so like do i get a free sky bison or...?*
Made my day XD
Sadly no. The reason being Ikki said no.
Ive practiced shaolin kungfu in china. Its the best thing ive ever done in my life. Ive stayed for one year. It really changed me and everyone else who were students and stayed for 1y or longer, it have all affected their lives in a positive way.
I will return next year and will visit my master's family as he has invited me to his home and he will be my master again too
Nice!
ik its been a while since you commented but can you tell me how you did that?
Do you speak Mandarin?
@Attack on CJ 😆😆
Me think there would be trials and tests
"We have a website"
"Paypal accepted"
@@AfferbeckBeats more like alipay
"We are not savages"
The next thing will be a discord
Just give them money
They are Chinese after all
As someone who doesn't even have an iota of interest in joining, I still enjoyed this video.
It's always good to learn, even the subtleties of subjects most people disregard as uninteresting.

What do you mean by this?
ranton is a dumb shaolin ball taster:

“Go to the temple, join the monks, train with them, eAsY-pEaSy-LeMoN-a-SqUeAsy”
Why is literally no one talking about this line?!? It’s hilarious!
😂 😂 😂 Its one of his oldies
As a csgo player, i heard this too often :D
@@keiichitw fuckyou silver bicth
I love how his Chinese accent just spurts out randomly mid sentences. XD
dont think so since he is German
"Do you speak chinese"
Such a reality check 😂
They don't speak English? tsk tsk tsk shame
Yes I do thank you very much 你好， 我喜欢说中文也吃中国面
@@Iamdeadshot. the fxxx is 中国面？
@@Matthew-du1ro think he was trying to say chinese noodles
@@Iamdeadshot. you realize you just say you have intercourse with your pet dog in Chinese right? Yeah man you should probally stick with English.
All jokes aside, I'm actually impressed how human Ranton seems in this video, I'm so used to seeing him goof around in game reviews
he's serious about the shaolin stuff usually
You’re here too?!?
Hey you fucking weeb.we meet again!!!!!
Ranton has a lot of respect for the monks and the time he spent there, it's one of the subject he will always be serious when talking about it
Hes everywhere at once.
Ranton: "Learn to speak mandarin"
Hakka speakers: "食"
@ChemistryLive 食 in hakka is pronounced as "shit"
Why would you learn dialect as a foreigner haha, that sounds like a circumstance you would only end up in if you live in some incredibly rural area where people can't speak Mandarin. I think even the oldest people I've met even in Zhejiang spoke fluent Mandarin, though it doesn't matter because they still have the "you're foreign, you don't speak Chinese" ignore you to your face mentality haha, I'm not sure even knowing Hakka would help with that 🤔
I do remember visiting incredibly rural locations in Hunan and everyone speaking a dialect I had never heard of, with apparently no Mandarin, but I don't know any foreigners living there.
“Easy peasy lemonu squweezy” 💀💀💀
Oh cool my Dad is a shaolin monk he's bald and uses a broom to beat me up
that looks pretty shaolin to me
I think I laughed a little to long at this
i saw a bald guy doing 100 pushups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats and a ten kilometre run every single day
Everybody knows bald people sold their hair (and soul) for immense power.
A broom? I’m surprised he didn’t go ham with the whole arsenal. Kitchen knives, pans, his baldness. The whole deal.
„Firstly: Your level of Kung-fu. There is a lot of confusion about that“
So you mean…
Kung-fusion?
I´ll see myself out
😂
I'm your 68th like, may God bless you with just one more.

You’re a disappointment
@@plzscrubscribe8317 Yeah ;)
7:56 hes having flashbacks right there XD
Dispite the memes, i think shaolin monks and shaolin kung fu is fucking awesome.
Jokes aside i LOVE how ranton becomes very serious when he talks about Shaolin to give you as many info as simple and straight as possible showing you how serious this matter is
knowing that he is a funny person
Mad respect to you man fo real
Goes to Shaolin temple.
Me: So when do I learn air bending?
george barrett ahhh ahahahahahahahhaa meeeeee
Wait I thought it was fire bending I’m out
Big question is there online classes
Tai chi
Wait i thought it was Liu kang entire moveset
Honestly your edits are bang they give me life! And thank you for this video, I am currently learning the language Chinese language and will plan this journey one day.
“...still better than DOTA” got me ROFL 🤣
having a quarantoni while watching some *RANTONI* ?
*YES*
Now that you mention it... I wonder how the monks are dealing with this quarantine and all this pandemic stuff
@@Fvneral_moon They make TH-cam videos
@@yeeted466 Do they really? What channel?
@@Fvneral_moon This one lol u just got Rantoned. Big brain moment
Yeet Ed but he’s not a monk he’s a disciple BIG BRAIN
Ranton destroys the dream of 99% the people who wanted to go there by saying:”You have to learn Chinese!!!”
When you train Martial Arts, you usually start to learn The Native Language of that Martial Art, like Japanese for Karate and Judo or "Chinese" for Kung Fu Styles or Korean for Taekwondo and so on
You never trained right?
5:20 is just him having a PTSD of having to translate for 2 years and just encouraging people to learn mandarin before joining the temple
lol
Appreciate this so much, this is awesome to hear your experience with a seemingly very different but surprisingly similar life than mine.
I find that the best way to go to the shaolin temple is to run there.
True but I mean you can also walk saves energy you know
@@CherryMxTx yeah thats a better idea, though I prefer running there as it gets me warmed up
@@the2morroknight57 I feel like flying is also a possibility but I mean it tires the arms out
@@CherryMxTx Not to mention how the bugs fly into your face if you fly too fast
Not only run, but Naruto run to show your skill.
Me learning chinese: sweats
Traditional Chinese: allow me to introduce myself
Tee ser ies sameeee, im dying trying to learn ittttt!!
BRING IT ON!! IM READY!! 🔥🔥🔥
Bob the restroom is there my dude. No but seriously I already forgot almost al my Chinese except 我喜欢苹果
Meanwhile I cant even speak English that good the only language i know
@@franktastical7512 I like apples too
Me: Learning Japanese for anime
"You NEED to learn Mandarin"
Me again: *"NANI?"*
Haha same
Why would you learn Japanese for anime? That’s a waste of time, you should learn Japanese to go to Japan and learn about he rich culture, and learn that’s not all about anime.
@@GracelessEmber shut up, let us be weebs...
@@GracelessEmber that was my original plan a while back.
But covid killed that!
So do to an overdose of anime while in quarantine, I decided to do a little something creative.
@@mushybeany4667 exactly!👍🏾
i literally respect people who do martial arts SO MUCH. the amount of dedication you need to be able to do it is amazing. as a kid, i was taken to learn it and i did it for a few months but quit cause i lacked commitment and i didn’t realise how serious it was. i realised how much i lacked commitment when i did different clubs like swimming for a few years but quit cause i got bored. so it was my fault for not knowing the reality of these things. but like fr, I RESPECT MARTIAL ARTS SM SO ILL JUST ENJOY IT FROM THE SIDELINES
Anton: views are drying up
Shaolin content:
*It's free real estate*

Why is he so obsessed with him lol
@Baba Yaga i don't find him that cringe tbh.
And i am allergic to cringe.
It's kinda nice to hear this, we definitely need more stuff like this, that helps us to get a reality check. Thanks man, even though I didn't want to join Shaolin temple or didn't want to learn Kung-Fu, your video is still quite entertaining to watch. Keep it coming!
When he speaks about "League of Legends" I was like oh LEE SIN😂
HAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHA
Lol
Haha yup
I've been training shaolin kungfu in china (kunyu mountain) for 2 years now and yea, everything said in this video is correct
Can u tell me the cost of train kung fu in shaolin temple?
How much money is required for training in Shaolin temple for like around 1 year?
@@anubhabpaul728 about 5 and a half thousand dollars the only reason i know is cause my brother has been a shaolin monk for a year before going home

WARNING I am the unprettiest human alive and I need YT to afford my house and the desires of my two girlfriends so please observe my highly stimulating videos, dear aypub
I've been waiting for this video since the first time I watched your video, love it
This is an absolute valuable and highly informative video.
This is a potent wake up call for me and I am extremely grateful for it.
I am ashamed and embarrassed of myself however. Turns out, I wanted the movie script version of being with the Temple simply because I never asked questions. I never made an effort to learn.
I must be honest. I think I am one of the people you mentioned. I pictured peace, harmony, and beautiful martial arts.
I am so sorry for my ignorance.
While I still desire peace and calm, I now know my place without a doubt. My place is not with those men. What I have yet to learn probably wouldn't qualify me to deliver goods, much less get to know any of the good people there.
Wishing the good people everywhere the best in life. And may you have good fortune in return for posting this video.
Well, China is closed to the outside world right now. If you're not already here in the PRC, you're not getting in for a while, man.
china sucks anyways.
I think it’s about to open soon, but you need to do 2 weeks quarantine as always
YOOOOOOOO
Kurwaaaaaaa
Nice to see you here man. :)
Ok but like where is the temple for the knight of the round table??
Need dis too
a Small correction: they train in a castle. But yes, guy should make a video about this too!
In the ground
I think you might need to have a golden chocobo first, worth the time getting one tho.
Wanna Join the School of the Wolf instead?
thank you.....SO much.....You cleared up literally months of research. Much appreciated
This was actually a very good information regarding that doubt, thanks for clarifying that, ranton 😊 without learning language the conversation is difficult, and i agree with you, there are many fake martial artist who are running business for money and no knowledge,
Great suggestions! A lot of people don’t realize the warrior monk/full monk difference, and that the fully ordained monks stay well clear of the crowds of tourists. As you say, this is their way of life, not something for the casual visitor to join in just for the novelty. If people want a Buddhist experience, there are meditation and sutra recital programs at other sacred Buddhist sites like Wutai Shan or Emei Shan, where for a donation you can spend a few days living in the temple as a lay disciple.
yeh if they want to see real monk they better just go to their local chinese temple LMAO
Pro Tip
If you want to move to another country, knowing the language is kind of essential nomatter where it is
No, not really in japan if you don’t know Japanese you won’t have any problems. In the countryside they might be a lil bothered with you but still very nice to you
@@georgefreemon2935 I think it would be quite disrespectful to visit a country without knowing at least some basics. Especially Japanese people won't tell you if they are bothered. Let's be real; not learning anything beforehand is just pure laziness.
Hope it didn't come off as rude. Have a nice day. :)
Philip Kaltschmidt then how come in the US its more than one language even tho english was the first😐
@@georgefreemon2935 Good point. Though I'm not an English native, I'd still say that it's necessary to fully connect to US culture. Besides that the US was formed by many different cultures and English as their way to communicate.
Japan on the other hand is almost purely Japanese. So in order to connect with Japanese people, you'd have to approach them in their own language.
That's my humble opinion.
Philip Kaltschmidt I understand that and respect your opinion. But I just want people to know that japan is VERY nice to foreigners and you won’t have trouble their if you were to visit.
The way he said “easy peasy lemon squeasy”
Thanks man! Really appreciate the advise and the help.

Anime is Japanese. Kung fu is a Chinese martial art

A lot of respect in this Ranton, we all know this has been a long time coming and has been a good way for you to get certain aspects of the temple of your chest. Big up Ranton
The passion of joining shaolin temple among public has come from the movie named "THE 36 CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN".
I am happy that you are enlighting us. Love from INDIA.
Even there are people from India who have learned from shaolin temple.But they never speak this truth.People like us dream without any knowledge.Thank you once again.
hey thanx a ton sir .it was a eye opener.

Everyone's welcome.
I'm so glad you exist, Ranton. It's nice to have someone credible to draw the line between what is fact and what is BS regarding Shaolin Temple and the monks.
Thank you very much for this video, I know I personally am capable of training with the other monks but I still have to learn mandarin so I at least have a place to start now. But thanks overall for this video, my karate sensei went to China for like 3 years I forgot if he trained at the shaolin temples but I know he learned drunken boxing there and a few other styles (and how to use weapons). My point is thanks a lot for the video I am sure the information will help a lot!
This motivated me to learn something, thank you
I went to train with my Shifu in the summer of 2017. Yan Feng Shifu taught us xiao hong quan and qi xing quan, and we did a lot of ji ben gong. Its a real shame Wangzhigou has been torn down now, but needless to say, I had a great time at Shaolin. I only was able to go because my Shifu was good friends with the masters and administration of the temple, so he was able to organize a trip. No, I didn't have to shave my head.
I only understood half of this and still want to know more
@@bottomtext5130 Xiao hong quan and qi xing quan are both shaolin forms, called taolu (like a kata). Ji ben gong is basic kung fu drills, Yan Feng Shifu is who taught us, who was funnily enough, also Ranton's master. Wangzhigou is the small town with the little motels and cornerstore where all the tourists stayed, along with some kung-fu summer camps and other shit like that. It was torn down I think in 2019 because it didn't fit the building code, at least, according to my shifu.

Awesome video, thnx
there are times where im grateful for my half Chinese culture even though im not fluent and by no means am i a fast learner but there are times i have a conversation with a chinese person and love it
Everyone imagines some fairytale Anime experience, Ngl I kinda thought that way too. A whole lot of dedication it would take. Awesome vid Ranton, you've Enlightened many.

TL;DW: If you wanted to join the Shaolin Temple, forget it.
I'm learning mandarin in Highschool. I hope to go to China one day and learn as much as I'm able
Bro continue the shaolin content it's so good and interesting
Thank you for the video
Ranton: I believe many got scammed out of their money.
Michael Jai White:🤦♂️
I really wanna thank you for clearing up the stigma that "in order to learn Shaolin Kung-Fu, you *have* to train at the Shaolin Temple." I honestly thought the SAME EXACT THING; mostly because where I live (the US), there's a lot of doubt behind which Shaolin Kung-Fu schools are _actually_ genuine and legitimate. I don't mean to speak for everybody, but this is why I carried that assumption around for so long. Thanks for clearing that up, bro.
Makes me die when people say "I'm ready to drop everything and commit"
Doesnt matter where u go, u still have to get up in the morning and earn money......basically stop running away and thinking the grass is greener, if u feel like shit at home......travelling half way around the world wont change that, what will is ur attitude
depends, I thought I was a disciplined person before I spent a year learning Kung fu in China. Getting a sense of perspective is always nice, then you can apply what you learned to daily life.
The Mozart Thug it’s also a lot more modern than westerners believe often people see it as secluded which it sort of is but I’ve heard some of my friends talk about how it has got no internet etc etc when that is just entirely false
@@stefanoandrianopoulos9071 you learning in a temple? They provide food and other things or its kinda like hotel?
Renato Rangel I trained in Wudang, we lived in an tiny apartment complex, but trained in the jade temple which was literally in our backyard. The complex is directly at the foot of the Wudang mountains so the path up the mountain is also a 3 min walk from us. I don’t think there is a place in China that lets you actually live in a temple from
What I have seen.yes they provided 3 meals a day, it’s part of tuition
Respect thank you for the information

Love this dude
This was so engaging to watch
Can i be a monk ?
"Do you speak mandarin ?"
No
"Then no"
😂
It’s not too hard to learn basic mandarin. Unless you partake in ceremonies all you need to do is speak it and that’s far easier than writing
I feel like the point about knowing mandarin is just common sense.
If you're gonna spend possibly years in a country where the native language isn't english then you're gonna have to know the actual native language.
Honestly, you make it sound like if you’re extremely prepared you’ll have a fantastic time
nice one. very informative
Ranton is a man who has little time atm. Hope he gets more time soon.
"its better then Dota" lmao I just spilled my water
I just want to say thank you. I've been really thinking about it but like u said we are not prepared socially nor mentally
