1. Wow, this is fucking sickening. I can only imagine how sad and disappointed a real Shaolin Monk would be if he watched this.
2. Oh, man, the day we invent lightsabers is the day where we corrupt the Jedi religion.
3. In the words of a great philosopher, watch?v=RFZrzg62Zj0
4. corruption is in the mind, tradition is one thing, salvation another
5. The markets there are the place where Daneboe's Ninja Baby came from.
6. Shaolin is Shaolin, no compitition Shaolin Spirits v. nice
7. Are you from myanmar but I am from myanmar
8. Buhhda was from India and Kung Fu was from India as well.
9. Kung Fu is Bad for your Family!!! 1. If your child kicks someone with their shoes on, it's ASSAULT with a DEADLY WEAPON. Jail time for your kid. 2. If your child hurts the other person with their shoe kick, the medical bills are paid by you. Parents end up paying thousands of dollars in damages. 3. Your child's joints and ligaments are in danger doing unprofessional exercises taught by kung fu schools. Any physical fitness expert will tell you kung fu is bad for both children and adults.
10. And what about Moise ? He also wrote the Torah to satisfy his own desire? and Jesus with the Bible ? also the same case? what bullshit you're saying... please keep your mouth shut if you don't know what you're talking about. Show some respect for religions. Millions of people are believing in those 3 religions.
11. How am I supposed to understand what they talk about without subtitles at least?
12. china kungfu = shit .... war 1979 vietnam vs china ..it proved that there is true... im vietnamese
13. it really takes perseverance and discipline to be able to learn kung fu... giving my respect for these monks...
14. I adore these monks for their one of a kind way of discipline... Their movements are so precise and systematic.. two thumbs up or this video...! :)
15. I love how the monks are performing Kung Fu in full dress! I really enjoy watching martial arts movies and I loved the new movie "Films of Fury" that just came out on demand. It has some great fight scenes and clips from some of the best movies! bitly .com/uBGPir
16. good
17. Korean said Jesus Christ was Korean too.
18. Does this documentary just assume that we understand the Chinese spoken in the interviews?
19. Why narrate the documentary in English, and then show people answering questions in Chinese without sub-titles? Its as if what they were actually saying were considered unimportant by the film makers. Disappointing.
20. well said. remember to mention that the koran was written by ONE MAN, who probably crafted everything to fulfill his own desires
21. no its not.. monks dont really fight.. maybe in the ancient times they do.. but now its like only a tradition
22. Is the kung fu military arts in China?The South Korean says that the kung fu is mimicry of taekwondo.
23. And that's why you should never try to jack a Chinese man... chances are he knows kung-fu!
24. Why should anyone criticize any denomination with which they are not directly associated? This seems to be a reoccurring problem in many aspects of both east and western societies.

May 2002 The Shaolin monks are famous worldwide for their Kung-fu. But there are now fears that their fame is corrupting their ancient Xen Buddhist traditions. ''They try to trick you and get as much money as possible''. says one German student. In every surrounding village there are schools and tourist traps cashing in on their celebrity.
