Foreign students Shaolin Temple (uncut)

I was training for some months near the Shaolin temple. After my time of training, I started filming the other foreign students. The videos are long and uncut, but in that way it keeps the original feeling of being inside the temple.
The page where you can apply for training a month/s or year/s in this Shoulin temple; kungfushaolins.com/
The school is called; Songshan Shaolin Traditional Wushu Academy Cultural Center

Great Video Marcus!!! It really does give people a genuine feeling of what they might expect should they train at one of these schools near the Shaolin Temple.

[@Donpiel]

Looks like I really left my heart there :) I miss this soo much

[@reddragon8289]

Excellent Video. Thank you! I have been there in 2012 for training. A lot of remembering.

[@manuferreri]

Feels like you are getting in the way of the performers

[@CulturalKeys]

With all due respect Marcus, I think the title of this video is perhaps misleading. None of this footage was filmed at the Shaolin Temple, but in Wangzhigou, the village within the Shaolin Temple Scenic Area, 10 minutes walk from the actual Shaolin Temple. I am well aware that the school you study at (featured in the video) has agreement with the Shaolin Temple to accept foreign students, but that doesn't make it the actual Shaolin Temple. Again, no disrespect to you or your school, and I know many students there are very happy . But i just think it's better to be as transparent as possible when representing things to potential future students.

[@CulturalKeys]

+Bed Head Hi there. :) Well, the cert says the material was kept unedited to 'keep the original feeling of being inside the temple'. His school isn't in the temple. For someone to say it's a Shaolin Temple for foriegn students, IMHO, doesn't make much sense either. It's a school, that teaches Shaolin martial arts, not a temple. The Shaolin Temple is a separate place, a real temple, where foriegn and Chinese students can go to study Shaolin martial arts. I was just emphasising that distinction. But at the end of the day, if everyone is clear on what the video shows, then no worries. I guess it's just me who thought it wasn't clear. ^_^

[@CulturalKeys]

+Bed Head Haha, fair enough! 😊

[@ninjamarketing4944]

Hey Cultural Keys could you give me the name of this school. Do you know if they take beginners for like a shaolin experience. Thanks for any help you provide.

[@CulturalKeys]

There are several schools in the area that teach martial arts.Obviously, there is the Shaolin Temple itself, there is Tagou Martial Arts Academy down the road, the school in the video I believe is the Shaolin Wushu Institute, and there is also CK Martial Hearts, my company. You can google any of them for more information.

[@brownskinbeauty3319]

Cultural Keys hey I have been trying to find the shaolin temple itself but I don't know if I found the right one since a lot of websites say that they are. so do you mind sending me the links to both the shaolin temple and for CR Martial Hearts? it would be greatly appreciated 😄

[@kaibrandonly]

woaahhh the drunken fist looks siiccc. thank you so much for this video.

[@TheOnlyInformant]

That last guy is me trying to get out of bed.

[@TheBico]

So I’ve been looking into Buddhism for about 2 years now, and I really would like to study and train at Shaolin Temple, and hopefully become a monk. How does a foreigner go about traveling to the temple? Like what visas and things like that would I need?

[@jasonsmith1081]

Have you ever read Grandmaster Ed Parker's books on Infinity insights of Kenpo volume 1 they used to burn the dragon and tigers on their forearms so where did that come from the Kung Fu series it's only thing I can think of is anybody know if they actually way back way back in the like way before all of us were born like back in the day when Kung Fu started and was developed in that country if they ever did it all anyway I'll just wanted more information and clarification because Grandmaster Ed Parker's book on it where did he get that information

[@bhumireddyobulreddy8333]

How can I study in Shaolin Temple Any fee I am from India

[@Vincent43746]

How much did it cost?

[@thecocktailcritic8516]

I visited the Shaolin temple and it;s area in 2000. I was wondering, there are a number of schools in China to live and learn Kung Fu. Is the Shao Lin Temple's foreigner study program good, or is it commercialized, touristy, etc.

[@pramodchamkanifoodbeverage2946]

I want to learn it

[@the1andonly655]

how to get allow to enteri nshaolin temple ?

[@kde439]

Basic long fist, some modern Wu Shu & basic Tai Chi Chuan nothing that you couldn't find better versions of outside the commercial Shaolin temple .

[@goldvest5]

I didn't know they spoke English much less dropped the F bomb, or done tai chi at Shaolin Temple. in short I don't think this is the Shaolin Temple.

[@tlupo6783]

Correct, this isn't The Shaolin Temple.

[@janek7705]

It was the boy trying to lift the monk who said the f word.

[@rezasharif9823]

i like another temple..i dont know the name but it was on top of a big mountain..

[@neaituppi7306]

That narrows it down. Haha. Probably the Shaolin temple around Dengfeng

[@Praveen-rc4vv]

thanks for uploading this

[@ninjamarketing4944]

hey whats the name of the school? ---- Edit - no worries i saw your link to the FB page. Cheers

[@fretournoriazoro1165]

I want to learn martial arts,can I learn through online?

[@sumeiyaabdulaziz9588]

In order to train do u have to believe in their religion or worship as they did in the beginning of the video?

[@sharvankumar5174]

I am Indian .I love brusslee and jaki Chan

[@jasonsmith1449]

do munks really burn dragon and tiger on their arms I like to know cause several books written that they have to lift a burning urn that would burn a dragon and a tiger

[@marklulala]

No they don't. Monks are there for the teach of Buddha. Some shaolin monks are more like employee of a big organization.

[@jasonsmith1081]

Mark Chiang have you ever read Grandmaster Ed Parker's volume 1 through 5 on American Kenpo Karate volume 1 states that they used to burn a dragon and a tiger on her forearm in it and I'm like where did you get that from did you and I think Grandmaster Ed Parker was watching the Kung Fu Series in like the Kung Fu series with David Carradine and it shows him doing that but I don't know historical value in it like why would you say something that did never happen so that's reason why I was asking that it's because we Grandmaster Ed Parker's books on American Kenpo Karate volume ones where that's at I just don't see no truth in it

[@user-yc3no3jb4x]

I like the monk's fake adidas socks at 3.00

[@jetlino.1126]

Ohh i am buddhism as well,that chanting i hear it as well

[@brownskinbeauty3319]

hiii do you happen to know if any of the shaolin temples accept foreigners to train along with them? I really want to train but I don't want them to go easy on me because I'm a foreigner, I want the strictness, punishments, living with the others in the school and everything else. I want it to be authentic. if you know any please link them to me, thank you 😄

[@chococookies4]

Yes they do

[@defjulz]

Hi! this looks like a great experience for both spirituality and martial arts training. Is this an expensive place to train.

[@MatikuOfficial]

thats actually pretty cheap wow

[@StewartMiles1]

For what you learn, 100 k usd would still be worth it. People use to spend their whole lives and would kill each other to obtain this knowledge. Because guns were invented, Kung fu is not as feared but when you know it you will see another world.

[@MatikuOfficial]

Tuan Nguyen true

[@stanzinotsal8940]

In Indian currency 1year how much

[@salj.5459]

That drunken fist guy at the end lol

[@Radionut]

Are you trying to tell me that the Shaolin temple is a real place!!! I thought that was just movie stuff. Boy it looks like a tough place to be

[@charlesscott3130]

it is a real place

[@teeks82]

Anyone know any legit shaolin temples to practice?. Because I hear they don't exist and it's now All commercial and regulated. Would be nice to know you are learning something authentic.

[@thezdiary]

How come a lot of students dont train at traditional shaolin temples? do they not allow foreigners? Or is it just a preference of westerners to go to more modern schools.

[@xwah5016]

Rosewaterqueen they can’t just accept everybody, u have to train and if u have the potential u can get to join. Some foreigners just go and commercialize it by teaching other people for money, which is against the rule of shaolin. So the real shaolin isn’t something anybody can come and go. U gotta be dedicated to it

[@no-one9484]

Since when is tai chi a part of Shaolin?!

[@bluedog101c]

When foreign students started to pay hefty fees...

[@baqikenny]

apprentice since a long time ago, ever since tourists are curious whether they can do taichi or not. even though this isnt shaolin temple in the video, but i ensure you the henan one has it

[@SiriusV23]

When Jet Li made the Tai Chi Master, wasn't he playing a shaolin monk that became a Tai Chi master?

[@marklulala]

Taichi is never part of shaolin or wudan. China put it in for tourist industry. A lot of the forms they teach is made up forms. Not part of shaolin.

[@thonginthavongsa5889]

Train me

[@neaituppi7306]

See, you can see a lot of stuff in Parkour comes from Kung Fu

[@pelayanlordgodalmightyyeho5657]

[@chrisbotsis7658]

Do they really allow you to film while you are training

[@lysmys123]

No, I had a month where I documented the different schools.

[@aorigemcelestial6383]

Can foreigners become a monk at the actual Shaolin Temple?

[@almaroofkazakh1649]

Off course Search Google

[@JohnSmith-ok9sn]

So many slavic faces... (yihhh) (Not to mention the friggin' Adidas track suits...) Why are they so fascinated with this particular, well... "garment"?! I see an Adidas track suit - I think, some kind of a slav.
