Can’t believe NG made the mistake by saying Shaolin temple is in HUNAN province… It’s in HENAN province! The two names are romanized into similar words, but they are two different places!!!
My daughter just walked by the computer, and asked if I was watching Dr. Strange.
Chinese Hare Krishna.
This video was so poorly done
So powerfull
Finally a narrated video!!! Thank you!
Keep out those Manchus

The Shaolin Temple has become a popular tourist spot in China. What do you find most intriguing about this historic location?

Where’s the Rza?
It's all did by boadhidharman an Indian
Kung fu was also from India to china
Be thankful to India bcz u china people blessed with this marshal art by our Indian bodhidarma master
. ..u NGC don't know history of it 1st of all
Get there in the morning as soon as it opens… by afternoon it's mayhem. And experience the free 30min show where they display all their skills! There's also a few pretty amazing hikes to be done… it's a big area.
Amazing. Would love to train kung fu there.
Kalarippayattu is the mother of all martial arts. It is from God's own country Kerala in India. The final aim of martial arts is love nature and also self realization… UA
How many monks are there in Shaolin Temple who practice Kung Fu on regular basis?
I’m traveling this week to henan , I wanted to visit the shaolin temple ,but many reviews were negative about the place , so still don’t know

I feel in my heart that I should have grown up with a sensei. They are better than parents.
Jai bheem namo budhaye 💙😇

தமிழர் விதைத்த விதை தான் இப்போ kung fu
It's basically just a gymnastics school with a few bells and whistles. It's all for tourists, there's no depth to any of it it's just a cynical tourist trap. The CCP made China a cultural desert, all of the real Shaolin temples in China were destroyed in the name of progress. This is just a sad caricature of the real thing.

I have never been to Shaolin Temple. But one thing I can say. It is tougher than being in military boot camp.
Many have believed what they just knew won't hurt them.
I wish to go there
MOST not all but MOST people of the world will never commit to REAL combat martial arts because it requires not only ying and yang but also yong wich is spirit. Its not just about mind and body but qi/ki or chi which is spirit. Want to stand out amongst the other 9th dan blackbelts then spirit is the next and FINAL level. Rather you believe in another world or living beings you cannot see is IRRELEVANT. If you seek them or it you will find.
