I love his accent and voice. Thanks for the training.

All do

[@dominicolowo447]

And he's too funny also

[@KUNGFULIFE-shifuyanxin]

Happy Chinese New Year, Hope you all have a lovely weekend! If you you like to see more videos made for this Shaolin Whole Body conditioning series please give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to our Channel. 👍😀

[@77NightFall77]

Shifu, your joy is contagious!! Loved the video, and I'm pretty sure my stretching will get an upgrade with the techniques you taught.

[@o00oZu1o00o]

He's cool, but the way he teaches the front split is not right. If you do it this way, your psoas and quad of the back leg will remain super tight and you will never get to the point where you can rest your rear foot on your shoulders, do natarajasana, the diamond, the scorpion... the split basically becomes a hamstring exercise, waste of time... Apart from that, lovely place and clothes, and the other exercises were fine.

[@romedbucher2854]

I always find it kind of funny when people believe they have to improve on Shaolin traditions, that have been working for 1500 years.... what you say is totally taken out of context.

[@ekrekerprojec3825]

One of my favorite videos on youtube. I have hypermobility syndrome and my hips are really hypermobile. I find it difficult to really get into a position that I can feel my hip flexors getting stretched. But this routine does it. I watch it / follow it a few times a month. It has been apart of my fitness journey. Thankyou

[@hosein6401]

Thanks! I am so happy about this strech workout. 😄

[@nothinbutms]

Life hack: a hot shower is a shortcut to warming up to stretch. :)

Thank you so much shifu for this awesome tutorial.. Without proper stretching I injured my hamstring so many times in the past!

I used to box haven’t been to the gym in 7 years decided I want to get fit again and learn king fu once this covid stuff is over but I tried to touch my toes and couldn’t, also can’t run anymore I ran a mile when I started and had to stop been at it for about a month now too and finally reached 3 miles every morning and touched my toes when stretching it felt good 😂

[@danielericcadonna7265]

Nice video, shifu! I think that the definition for the technique explained at 17:22 is ballistic stretching, anyway you described it very well! By the way, very good form with the pistol squat and front split 💪

thank you Daniele for point out this :) 👍

[@maryma5044]

Shifu, you are so good at explaining of your teaching.

I still have trouble with this but I’m sure doing this will help so much!!! Thank you Sifu! This is exactly what I need! Pu bu won’t scare me anymore. Now I need to practice.

I love your videos and their content but to me the camera is too shaky and moving too much in this video and there is too much grass in the picture in the beginning which feels distracting to me. Great content anyways!

[@KUNGFULIFE-shifuyanxin]

Thank you for the feedback, that is helpful to know. We’ll bare this in mind for future videos 👍

[@alexandreferraz4194]

Man... My Pu But stance is trash. I'm pretty sure I'm doing it wrong somewhere but I also noticed that I simple don't have any lower back strength. Even on Ma Bu I have trouble straighting my back, it's like when my muscles are fatigued due excessive work out, you know? They don't work at all... If you see this, Sifu, can you recommend any of your videos so I can work out and get more strength on my lower back?

[@KUNGFULIFE-shifuyanxin]

I will make more videos in this series to help you stregnth your lower back. 👍

[@sonnentatze566]

I only have Love and Thanks for you ❤️

[@poetwarriorrare9489]

do you make any videos for people who are not yet flexible? The description says these stretches will "improve" flexibility when CLEARLY you need to already be flexible to even attempt any of these positions.

[@FoxAdidas]

Bonsoir excellent bonne continuation à vous Jean Louis

I will keep watching sifu Yan Xin's stretching videos but this is extremely hard for me! ':D

[@KUNGFULIFE-shifuyanxin]

Hello Tomas :) take time (Kung Fu is Time) especially you were injuryed its will pay you back for your work. being saying that you can start just little of the movements instead doing same as me or find even simple light stretchings that helps & recovery your injury first when you are recovered and getting stronger then doing more :)

what about upper body?

[@hairyplotter1121]

How come most people, books etc on sport always tell you not to bounce when you stretch? My gf used to dance and told me to bounce when I stretch if I want more flexibility and a Shaolin monk says it’s okay you don’t get much more flexible than Shaolin monks and dancers 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@goodenergy1651]

thank you Shifu for your preicous and inspiring stretching techniques ! I realise why I got injured ( and not only me....) so many times during the Kung Fu classes I attended to, because of inappropriate warm up and stretching techniques ...teachers were awarded competitors, but did not have the good way to respect the body ( their bodies and their students as well)....I m so happy I found your channel , never too late !! Thank you !

[@motioninmind6015]

Wonderful as always. I can get as far as 10:00 one difficulty I and I think many people have with this is the ankle flexibility. It's impossible for me to do it with the feet pointed directly forward, I have to keep them angled outward, then it's much "easier" (but not *easy*)

[@musicislife665]

Thanks!

I have good stretching ability but i was struggling to find stretches that can help do Pubu safely and with the proper warm up stretches before trying! Also love your energy!! Very motivating and i will be adding this video to my playlist for stretching! It would be awesome if you can post some more preliminary stretches to work towards front and side splits etc 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Also do you have a newsletter i can subscribe to for updates and reminders on live seminars?

Is dynamic stretching where they bounce up and down commonly used in Kung Fu considered healthy? I notice you do it in a very gentle way.

[@allany27]

bouncing while stretchering is a no no, it has been proven scientifically that small tears happen when you bounce leading to future serious injuries, BE VERY CAREFUL I INJURED MY KNEES FROM BOUNCING WHILE STRETCHING
