I feel those Kids should be kid's 1st then become a Monk as a teenager. Just did my 1st Video. Fastest Marine corps vet. Fast as a Cobra my friend's say. And I will be 60 years old in a couple months. God bless those kids. CPL James Heflin Marine corps vet.

Thank you 🌺 I hope you are ok ✌️ 🌺
kunfu from south Indian monk called daama ( bothidarma )
this is awesome.
Amazing story. I loved the final words.
The World is changing and the cultures must Survive
I want to know how these children get nurturing like from a mother's love because that also helps someone feel complete as a Human being emotionally. ✌️😑
AMAZING BEAUTIFUL China 🐲🇨🇳🐉 and L♥️VE Shaolin Temple. 🎉🏮🎊🧧HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR OF THE RABBIT 🐇✌🏻🐰✌🏻3️⃣ and 🙏🏼Thanks u for sharing Great video uploaded. 👍🏼☯️👍🏼
23:07 new video game.
Aand pro mma arroguant said they cant beat this eazy
It’s a business instead of a real temple for worship. Money corrupts ppls mind.
All that i see is history and art and the future im so amazing 😻
Im now saving money to do the 12 month master school from Shaolin in Europe online im sure that it will help me
They can’t even control themselves from promoting anti-China-anti-communist propoganda in this innocent documentary about kids doing kung fu lmao.
Describing China as “a glorious capitalist paradise” and talking about how “oppressive communism” ruined kung fu. I can’t believe they straight up said “capitalist paradise.” They are meming themselves at this point.
I think its beautiful and I never would have been aware of the temple or Kung Fu if it wasnt for the temple becoming more commercialized. Surely there can be a happy respectful medium while sharing such a beautiful history. Im very thankful to Shaolin for opening its doors to the public. 🙏🙏

Are females there too ?
Fake?
Meretricious?
Staged?
Very very good, beautiful working skil
they said 356 days a year but sometimes not during winter
narrator originating from west is idiotic and non sensical
thank you
It's hard to imagine a Shaolin monk having to file a lawsuit.
the fantasy is so romantic that would totally be hell though.
As soon as they started focusing on money, they were corrupted.
Capitalist monks? Money and greed over the pursuit of enlightenment?
I expected after watching that film I would finally understand the difference between kung fu and martial art. But that question unfortunately was not answered.
As a Buddhist I’m proud to be a Buddhist.
Me pregunto si estos monjes tan corpulentos, en el vídeo, aún pueden moverse y luchar como antaño ha sido su tradición…
También me pregunto si con tanto marketing y business siguen con sus prácticas espirituales y han alcanzado los niveles espirituales de su antecesores o si todo se ha reducido a prácticas marciales…
Even the monks that don't make the Shaolin Team still have extraordinary feats of agility, speed, power, and coordination. Thank you.
Who the hell place the sound effects lol
I wonder why you have to be a Buddhist to be considered a martial arts Shaolin Monk. Maybe because you have to encompass everything layers of the Shaolin Monk life? I guess I'm a Shaolin hardcore practitioner. As long as you practice peace, you should be a Shaolin Monk.
Yes, the Traditional Shaolin Monks were a threat to the government in the 1920's. They had to go.
Shaw Brothers created some of the best Kung Fu films ever!
Why is he unable to stick his sprain in cold water , and progress with arm motion
Mad respect for these dedicated and skilled people.
You can definitely kill people will wood or tin
Monk means spiritual…… The communist chinese government can not comprehend spiritual. So, they turned the monks into performing monkeys. 😊
I remember when Bruce Lee developed the series “Kung Fu” hoping to star and the Americans cast David Carradine. So wrong! I hope this commercialization of Shaolin doesn’t detract from or destroy the art.
I hope they archive all of the Kung-fu styles and moves that have been created by Shaolin monks so that Shaolin doesn't become dance-like Wushu.
Things must be tough in China it sounds like their is little opportunity there if you are a martial arts expert.
If you don't make the Shaolin Kung-fu dance team it sounds like you don't have many options aside from being a martial arts coach.
They are also religion temple warriors
❤😊❤🤝😇❤️🔥
Stunning….thanks for uploading😅
This makes me sad that their practice is now about status and fame. Very, very sad.
