Shaolin soft weapon: Three-section cudgel | 少林三节棍：身动心净，洞达禅理

[@saloumabd6987]

i missed you so much Shifu Shi Yanxuan i hope i see you again 🙏

[@carloscarlosio]

Ah, what a beautiful way to live.

[@brad9888]

For sure

[@cz6774]

The three-section cudgel is probably the most difficult weapon to master. (I could not do it) Controlling the two end staffs with the middle staff takes massive concentration. Once they go wild it is almost impossible to not injure yourself. Mastering the nunchucks gives no advantage to learning The three-section cudgel. They basically look the same but using the the three-section cudgel is like juggling chainsaws. One slip in timing and it will whack you. I have complete respect and admiration to anyone that can train that dragon.

[@user-kz7wj5fl9r]

Cǝǝ Zǝǝ First day of learning it, and I hit my head 4 times in a row. Hopefully, I’ll get better.

[@r------]

Oh yeah

[@robertostler6733]

Mastering nunchacku gives no adavantage to mastering the 3 section cudgel? Thats just silly all life experience can be applied to almost anything. Being that they are similar (sectional weapons) some things do translate over.

To those of you that say Wushu is useless - let me explain: the Chinese culture is 5000 years... Wu Shu = "Wu" = Martial "Shu" = Art - with as much focus on art and discipline as martial. let face it, in today's world, you can train your whole life, i still can take you out easily with a gun. However, art and tradition, once lost will never return - this is why China is the only surviving civilization in human history; we can trace our values and traditions alway back to when our ancestors first settle down around the yellow river. no other culture in mankind can claim that. This is something we, chinese, are proud of, which is also what we cherish. As most other nations are all so quick to follow trends in order to get ahead, e.g. Rome empire, byzantine empire, the mongol empire, even the US today, by the end of the day they end up losing their roots and eventually themselves and their civilization - due to they do not treasure tradition and a root to fall back on when true crisis hit a civilization. These "useless" arts is what maintain a nations true unity and identity during a national crisis. Is pathetic to compare MMA/UFC, a capitalistic organization with making money as ultimate goal to shaolin, an ancient practice that have survived multiple dynasty changes (please try to grasp the scope of this statement), is pointless even comparing those UFC to Shaolin - is like saying Picasso paintings are less accurate than the pictures you take with your iphone X, therefor iphone photos are better than picasso. There is a reason why your instagram post are not consider ART, regardless how much you edit with filters!

[@MarkoObradovich.]

Bravo. Your words my friend hit the bear truth and the roots of problem. I think the same, and thats why my country is in big problems (from the same reason). I would like if we were like you and keep our tradition and traditional values instead of accepting the "modern global" values with all haste.

Basic teachings of Chinese Culture

[@kkwwong126]

It's called "境隨心轉" in Chinese under the Buddhism. After Buddhism was transferred to China from ancient Hindu, Chinese monk masters spent 1000 years in order to translate all Buddhism books from Sanskrit into Chinese. I am wondering whether the real meaning of Buddhism can be completely and accurately translated into English!

[@saint8257]

@@kkwwong126 Things get lost in translation, so it is impossible. Language and culture are intertwined, there is also the Linguistic Relativity Theory. The West has a fundamentally different culture and view on life, and their language represents that. Thus translating Chinese to English, Vietnamese to English, or Indian to English means a lot of subtle meanings are lost. They might convey the general concept, but not the full message as intended.

[@nihalbadiger8922]

When the monk says it's easy, it's level is 100... When he says it's hard, we lose count of its level.

It's beautiful what the human body can achieve and some how overcome when we are intouch, in tune and are able to find the time in our busy lives to study our natural surroundings. It's a connection and an emotion, I'm sure that passes through evey living thing. We all travel and breath the same air so why shouldn't we share the same concepts, they can not separate because we are not separate.

Just look how other life, not our own, has flourish when we have enabled ourselves and our surroundings to take a breath and recover from the footprints we have laid so eagerly in pursuit of those pictures of ourselves. Not to diminish the tragedy that has taken hold but to open ourselves up again to a new beginning and refresh our minds and try to finally take something good from all the bad.

[@DocMustafa]

Attie Schutte Bro. With the way these guys train, I’d say MMA fighters would have a challenge. If you read a gung fu book, you’ll know what I mean. They literally train every part of their body until it’s as strong as steal. The only martial arts that remotely does that is Muay Thai, and they only condition their shins.

[@parrotbrand2782]

MMA can't use weapons. Cannot hit groin, cannot attack eyes, cannot strike or grasp neck, cannot rip ears, cant kick when opponent on the ground. So it is rather limiting. Not real world fighting also.

What he is doing is not actually fighting with it. He won't do that in a real fight. That twisting and swirling is show. If you want to see what it looks like to use the weapon in a fight, while it is choreographed, look at Shoalin Master Killer. That will give you a good idea.

is is so funny that he mentions wiping the table being akin to wiping one's mind. I used to be a line cook and my chef would get on my butt about that. He would say that my station is all messed up so my mind is all messed up and thats why im getting orders wrong or moving slow. He would tell me to stop cooking entirely and wipe my station down and reorganize. THEN i could get back to cooking. And i had to keep it that way. That's so weird how a chef can stumble on a shaolin practice and never know it. or maybe he does know! lol
