How Shaolin Monks Deal With Pain

[@aly8380]

Shi Hen Yang is a great master who is on the authentic path of teaching and self-mastery. The master even had the humility to learn with Master Hap Bo Heong in Malaysia in the internal aspects of Wumei Quan and Five Ancestor Fist /Wu Zu Quan. Most people barely know that Zen Buddhism in Japan, Korea and Vietnam etc all trace their dhamma source to Shaolin - it is or was the fountainhead and was of immense influence. In that regard, Shaolin was more important for its contribution to the development of Buddhism than to the martial arts even. This connection is /was recognized among the Samurai of Japan who popularized the Zen school with its focus on the unfettered mind (無心) in combat and the role of the martial arts as legitimate spiritual paths. All from Shaolin Zen Buddhism. Case in point, Yamaoka Tesshū who became enlightened in meditation and developed Itto Shoden Muto-ryu (Muto means "no sword") of kenjutsu. Shi Hen Yang is a master who is trying to preserve the essence of Shaolin unlike the commercialized, pimped up version found even in the Temple itself. That includes the connection to the spiritual aspects of Zen Buddhism which is barely given a nod in Shaolin Boxing nowadays.

Shaolin Kung fu came from kalaripayattu Indian martial arts

[@84erMaxe]

@@suhasmk3521 And what does that mean to you? Do you see this as a certain rating? Kalaripayattu is older and therefore better? The assertion that Kalaripayattu was taken to China by Bodhidharma is historically inaccurate. Meir Shahar wrote an extraordinary piece: "The Shaolin Monastery: History, Religion, and the Chinese Martial Arts". When anybody knows, if Bodhidharma took kalaripayat to China, I guess it would be Shahar and he would have written. After all it is just about dedication and commitment. Not older is better. There are reasons why things evolve. Would you ride a car from the 1920s? Better, more committed and more dedicated is better. So just start or continue what you're doing and become the best and most aware version yourself. And you'll realize, these patterns of rating are useless.

A really interesting man and it’s nice to see the discussion and philosophy rather than purely discussing a technique. What he said about knowing what your whole body is doing struck a chord with me. I was practicing kata (pinan sandan - Wado) this week and my sensei asked me to repeat the first few techniques and tell me what was wrong. 30 years of training and I couldn’t work it out. It felt fine. He said my rear leg was trailing slightly and didn’t move with my body. I was so focussed on not turning into an attack and getting the blocks correct that I didn’t think about my back leg. Please do more discussing the martial arts philosophy. It seems to resonate across all forms and styles.

[@edwinmmari634]

"If you really want to learn something, sometimes it's necessary to dedicate and say a one time commitment because this is what commitment means"..this philosophy is for sure and it really helps and there is no excuses whatsoever if you committed to do something you like especially to learn Shaolin KungFu or any other Martial Arts...Many thanks to Master Shi Heng Yi and to you Jesse, much love from Beijing, China

this explanation has hit home so true. doing things that are worth while (self improvment in any form be it education, health, welbeing etc) takes effort and time and this can include struggles and hardships but facing them head on and coming out the other side builds character and mental resilience.

[@xcaracho]

​@@KARATEbyJesse Actually the best way to translate Wu Wei it is Action without attachments. Wei is action. Wu in chinese cosmology means empty (but full of potential - like an empty paper - you can draw or write anything on it, but right now its just the possibility). There is no ego, no expectations just 100% concentration on the present moment. Then you can easily and react to any situation and without excessive effort. It is no magic, just a skill that can be taught and trained. There is a 2006 movie called Peaceful Warrior, where it is perfectly shown and explained. It's actually based on a real story about an athlete. There are no martial martial arts, but the point is clear. Stop just training karate and start training everything - your life. Be always 100% in the present moment without attachments - that is the way to true mastery.

[@Tenchigumi]

I also trained in Kung Fu as a kid, in the notoriously competitive and bickering setting of the San Francisco Bay Area in the 90s. From my experience, there was always such a massive disconnect between the philosophy (which was sound) and the praxis (which was often petty and immature). Much of it came down to money: the biggest schools would obviously make the most money, and with so much competition for students (and with the advent of MMA chipping away at new students), these sifus would constantly talk crap about each other, boasting about fights that never happened, about superhuman feats they couldn't prove, and about prowess that was usually demonstrated brutally on new students, but rarely against strong, practiced opponents. In short, I also wish I had a master like this.
