I can’t believe it, this video is still on the internet after all these years.

[@wdrx02]

Many cultures all can come up with self-defense but the Shaolins of the Chinese really took the time in their life to develope mane and also make it with style. So precise, hardworking. I am very intrigued.

"In true conflict, however, honor has no place. When the intent is to injure or kill, there can be no honor." Good quote my friend.

[@TyehimbaJahsi]

I have no familiarity with Shuai Jiao, but I can DEFINITELY perceive the tremendous value in these drills and exercises!

"Kettlebells(Stone Lock)", Barbell and Battle Ropes. The ancient Chinese were really ahead of their time.

[@changlu8891]

@@charles2521 Unfortunately most Chinese martial arts are not that great Shuai Jiao is the only one that actually works and is effective.

[@charles2521]

@@changlu8891 Martial arts, combat sports and self-defense are completely different things. You can't measure the "effectiveness" of Taichi for example, since as in Qigong its main focus is on spiritual/mental development. Also, the so-called "effective martial arts" are recent inventions. Boxing for example (which by the way is a Mesopotamian sport) was completely different from what is practiced today, watch a boxing video from the beginning of the 20th century and this will become obvious. All sports have evolved drastically in the last decades, but as I said, martial arts are not necessarily combat sports.

[@stuart5811]

@@changlu8891 this looks like a very effective martial art that has very good conditioning training. Why don't we see it in the west?

[@crazyboy41100]

I am taking up SHUAI JIAO , KUNGFU , AND SAN SHOU. I love all three of them too. I have only been taking it up 5 months but I can now do the splits and my physical shape is alot better. My reaction time towards things are alot better too.

[@berriwine]

WOW>>>couldn't stop watching, They were soooo good !

[@charles2521]

"Kettlebells(Stone Lock)", Barbell and Battle Ropes. The ancient Chinese were really ahead of their time.

[@changlu8891]

They knew fitness and strength are very important for fighting.

[@nerueru5756]

I don't know, I have no credentials, but I say these guys look authentic. Look at their eyes and their body language. That section with the brick rotation, reminded me of old kungfu movies. Goosebumps! Especially the rod and wheel training. Ever tried to hold a rod by the end alone. My whole body was engaged. Stellar video. Can only watch silence though, more intense that way!

[@Elbottoo]

love how the master threw the guy around probably 180 pounds like it was nothing. age 60+++ and still easy for him lol.

[@PINGANTU]

Fantastic. Thanks for posting.

[@badassboy99]

ty for posting, ncie job! keep'm coming!

[@MDIS]

Shuai Jiao history is actually much much more older than the Japanese Jujitsu and well since some of the Japanese Jujitsu are actually Chinese Fighting Methods namely Chugoku Kenpo and a little of Shuai Jiao , it became specialized in Japan and more different than the ancestor. Shuai Jiao as you can now see , have been revived through the efforts of various masters who are Overseas Chinese and Non-Chinese alike and especially this Grandmaster. I am happy and would like to learn more.

[@hongyingsifu]

Really nice video guys - see you there in July for another fantastic camp!

[@josecarlos1955]

excellent! thanks for posting!

[@khanchango]

Superb thanks for posting outstanding video.

[@Vahag2008]

thanks brotha, i've found it !!! thanks a lot !!

[@jasonk2210]

This is really good! Many of the training ideas are so original and could be applied in other arts too.

[@MarioUcomics]

I always wondered why they never made kung Fu movies out of Shuai Jiao. It would help people become more aware of chinese grappling much like how Ip Man movies have made Wing Chun more well known through out the world

[@padmad3k63]

It was Bruce Lee who made Wing Chun well known trough the world, and the result? McDojo's!

[@user-kz7wj5fl9r]

@@padmad3k63 Bruce popularized “no style”, or MMA. Of course people took his teachings the wrong way and made MMA into a style, but Wing Tsun was more popularized through Donnie Yen’s movies. And it’s really hard to McDojo anything where you’re actually being thrown to the ground.

[@padmad3k63]

@@user-kz7wj5fl9r Wing Chun has ground fighting but not so many teachers teach or understand this. Look at Alan Orr, Randy Williams or Chung Kwok Chow. Those guys do teach Wing Chun ground fighting which is very similar to BJJ. Most Leung Ting lineages in Europe also teach ground fighting and grappling. I would disagree about Donny Yen, I think it was Bruce Lee who made it so famous in Hong Kong back in the 60ties/70ties. But it really is a fact, most Wing Chun gyms are a complete joke "we dont spar because it's deadly" lmao.

[@user-kz7wj5fl9r]

@@padmad3k63 Again, like I said, Bruce Lee popularized the theory of MMA. Of course he studied Wing Tsun, but he eventually believed in having no style, which is what he showed in his films. Donnie Yen’s film popularized the art. Yip Chun even publicly thanked Donnie for saving the art. And there is no ground fighting in Wing Tsun. They likely combined some BJJ or wrestling into their training, but Wing Tsun has bo ground game.

[@padmad3k63]

@@user-kz7wj5fl9r I totally disagree with you. The concept of MMA is very old, people have been mixing styles since the ancient ages. Wing Chun has ground fighting, you don't understand how Wing Chun works thats why you say it. Everything you do an applied on the ground, Chi Sao is very good for grappling. Chi Gerk is also very good to know and also very similar on how they use their feet on the ground in BJJ. The way to stop a double leg take down in BJJ is exactly the same as in Wing Chun.

[@KarateClassesNearMe]

Nice training video, thanks for sharing!

[@kusojackakb47]

great video! awesome Beijing style shuaijiao ! very attractive and effective training method to exercising the muscles and shuai jao techniques.

[@bryanzellar]

This video is legit by the way. Very inspiring and these workouts make me want to try them. No wonder these are some of the baddest dudes on the planet that you would never see coming if you picked a fight with one. Great Video!!

[@bluefiregem]

Good job on the vid! Long live the shuaijiao sport!

[@tontonlolo6487]

Great Ur vid has inspired me for wrestling training for years

[@dan96916]

though i am indian but when i see these as a fellow asian i feel proud , i would love to follow this way for the rest of my life.................

[@Ryu62Alpha]

Kung fu owes a lot to India. In Shaolin legend, it was an Indian monk making his way across China that taught the early Shaolin monks how to fight and incorporate it into their Buddhist practices. ;)

[@Elbottoo]

Minh P The Indian monk never knew kung fu or other fighting techniques. He taught the monks training exercizes like Ypga for stretching and flexibility, meditation techniques and other cardio training. From there, the monks developed fighting styles that would later be known as shaolin style/ kung fu.

[@Elbottoo]

Elbottoo i mean to say yoga. not ypga lol. type failure.

[@Ryu62Alpha]

Elbottoo That's exactly what I said? I never said the Indian monk taught them kung fu lol.

[@SKDurgesh]

Minh P but It was bodhidharma who first came their and spread this fighting skills and budhhism across the china..

[@Mingfai78]

The first song is Jay Chou's "Huo Yuanjia", which was the soundtrack for Jet Li's Fearless. The second song, also by Jay Chou, is called Longquan (Dragon Fist). Additional sound effects are taken from Chinese military drums. Greetings from Beijing!

GREAT TRAINING!!!

[@xiaou2]

These guys are Awesome. They are rock-solid "Rooted" to the ground on every movement, unlike most sport fighters & poorly trained / disciplined fighters. They know how to use their entire bodies as One unit, maximizing power & efficiency. They train hard w/ weights & realistic means. They are fluid as water, fast, flexible, & precise. Excellent KungFu !!! *Applauds*

[@bbar84]

This is great! wonderful training and I can't wait to see the results :) As all who train in CMA know - Dan lian is a great way to obtain power and Shuaijiao has wonderful training methods and accessories! I can't believe you wrote "Join us for great food!" but it's all good :D 好好吃！ :P

FLAWLESS!!!

[@shengchenfan]

They definitely got some really great training methods that i could use.

[@cfG21]

@TasteForDisaster they are wrestlers. They specialize grabbing a punching arm and twisting it to break it. all those excersizes are to help in close range stand up grappling.

[@nianinini]

these guys are so strong ....wow

[@bryanzellar]

@dynastyflygon You are right about the Dojos. Nobody wants to learn traditional stuff anymore. It is all MMA. So I think masters are giving people that experience instead of basics. I think too many don't even consider sparring or too many consider only sparring. I was fortunate to find my Dojo in Phoenix. My Sensei was trained by Ed Parker, he is the real deal. I only wish I was still there. It has been years but I will never forget all I learned there. It is my standard for everything else now

[@colombiansRul3s]

that was sick

Very good with very interesting exercises! Fortunately this style was not destroyed by PRC unlike the others.

[@panther8686]

nice video,,

[@sleverlight]

so cooool

[@maminglei]

FabiusPyromanus Besides matt (traditional way to wrestle on sand) and possibly that rope at the end (not sure how long that has been used in SJ training) all the other training equipment in this video are original stuff. And there are more of them, lot of brilliant training methods. Da Bang zi (wooden club), Tui zi (stone locks) and Pi Tiao (leather strip) are the most important and commonly used ones.

[@kenlek869]

Fabius, the rope is a part of traditional equipment. I have a book on Shuaijiao printed in 1983 which has pictures and text of this training method, which unfortunately I can't paste here. I believe the modern battling ropes originated from this training method.

[@princegoyani6920]

Sir you can upload videos of you for training us

[@artario146]

looks impressiv and hard!

[@StrongIslandDave]

Awesome video! Was wondering what was used for the soundtrack? Sounds very much like DJ Krush and shades of DJ Shadow too. I like it! Please let know. ;-)

[@lawrencebarr3820]

Look at the foundation....the stances...that my friend is the foundation of a student abilities...basics....master the basics...and no one can defeat you...you fight as well as you train and practice....it's true practice does make perfect......master perfection in basic training.
