Nothing on this earth relieves and calms me more than this practice.

[@masoudramillar6704]

He has Perfect form.

[@ChamorruWarrior]

I really like this form. I have been researching and practicing Okinawan Kobudo. I have one nunchuck form, and am starting a bo staff form. I am in a formal Shaolin Kempo school, and one thing I have noticed is that what Chinese arts call "basic" and what Okinawan arts call "basic" are two very different things... lol Chinese basic is like Okinawan advanced techniques haha

[@matteopeo81]

Beautiful form, best explanation, inspiring setting.. Thank you!

[@entertaichi]

Thanks for sharing! Have an awesome day!

[@bodhi9464]

thank you so much for sharing this. as a young child I practised various martial arts and was introduced to the bo staff (as it was for me at that time). fast fwd decades and I find myself practising this most days. 🙏🏼 🥋🇦🇺

[@giannisampo4377]

when i do this its a stick...when shaolins do it...its a staff.

[@sirisaacclarke4964]

More precisely a Bo staff.

[@ErikGauthierDrums]

more precisely a Bō, since a Bō is a staff. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C5%8D Technically, youre just saying "staff staff" lol

[@wakeupthebear]

@@ErikGauthierDrums This is a Cudgel not a Bo. Bo is a Japanese stick. Thems there are Shaolin monks from the Shaolin mountains,China

[@cagedraptor]

very pretty and well choreographed. Forms are a wonderful way to impress those who don't or can't. This shows his dedication to learning this form. It is beautiful and skillful, no doubt. But a demo. of his ability it is not. Doing this is simple compared to attempting something like this against a true opponent who desires to harm you. And it is not a stick it is a Staff.

[@wushukungfu9881]

Beautiful

[@amelveambitzya3592]

I like the background song :c can I have the artist/name?

[@Drew_Hurst]

So Beautiful our Shaolin Kung Fu

[@unknownanalysis]

That is true, though i recently found that Bodhidharma, who introduced Buddhism to China, greatly urged the advancement of the chinese martial arts into the early shaolin kung fu :) It's heritage is beautifully mixed and it would probably be very different without the interaction between India and China. We've both countries to thank for this elegant art :)

[@Daniel9787]

Brilliant !! cant wait for more vids. keep up the good work.

[@zaboobebop]

An Indian prince (or monk) named Bodhidharma went to China. The Chinese didn't really like him that much but he noticed that mongols often raided the Chinese towns and villages. They didnt want his help so he took shelter and medidated in a cave behind the Shaolin temple for 9 years. The Shaolin guarded the cave and meditated with him. They started to get unhealthy because they were sitting for a long period of time. So Bodhidharma taught them excersises to keep them healthy and self defense.

[@spoitras]

I call this a staff, not a stick.

@@sirisaacclarke4964 *gun Don't combine Japanese and English when there's already a Chinese word.

[@PathToShaolin]

@jauser its a long story but basically he grew up in the temple but when he turned 18 he wanted to leave. he left the temple and couldnt find any work because he had no real qualifications so he ended up taking a job in one of the local wushu schools out side the temple. so now that he doesnt have to shave his head he doesnt. im thinking next year i might do a short youtube video about his life and what he thought about temple life as a yougster.

[@nicolasgrabli8165]

His name is Ta Mong, with means big tiger. He was my friend and teacher at Tagou Wushu Institute in 1997-98 (huge kung-fu school near the monastery in Songshan). Really skilled, he has been one of the best student of the school.

[@JackalopeTrials]

I like the traditional style and wardrobe - especially that his traditional apparel is accented with modern name brand socks.lol

[@OminousRain]

What kind of staff does he use? What type of wood is it made from?

[@Scotc]

The staff is a Shaolin Long Staff. I think in Japan it is called a bo, but in China called a gun (hence the name of the form Yin Shou Gun). The staff is a practice and demonstration staff usually made of wax wood, which is very flexible, lightweight, and does not break easily when hitting the ground. I think the combat staffs used historically would have been made of a harder wood and would have been much heavier and not flexible.

[@OminousRain]

Scotc thank you

[@197922007]

It's a cudgel. I have been training with one for. While.

[@dragonstateofmind]

Take me to the Shaolin Temple

[@koundinya75]

There is no doubt that Kungfu, Wushu, Karate etc are powerful martial arts. Also there is no doubt that Chinese & Japanese contributed a lot for these arts. But some styles of these martial arts knowledge was adopted from ancient Indian arts only. When Indians speak these are Indian arts, they never mean, these arts are completely Indian arts but rather they want to spread the word to world that India also did contribute in these arts. Silambham is one such art that is similar to this video art.

[@GweiTheLeafChild]

They don't call them dojo in China though.

[@GweiTheLeafChild]

Josh Algura I suppose so, in Chinese, the equivalent word for dojo is Kwoon in Cantonese, or Guan. It's actually short for gongfu guan, guan means building. Wu guan also means the same, but generally, the are just referred to as schools in Chinese.

[@amelveambitzya3592]

+Warren Jolly The master will ask you questions in order to see if you meet the requeriments, thats all you need, they'll shave your head and you will need no belongings, the physical training is quite intense, and if you don't train enough you get kicked, you go to train tho. when leaving, they give you a huge scroll as proof of being a shaolin monk, pretty neat.

[@narc440]

I hear it costs a lot to join them tho.

[@lucianoinso]

There are some temples that charge 50-80 dollars a week and you can stay as long as you want, they give you food, training and a room, there are some experiences on the Internet, search if you want to find more
