Shaolin Drunken Fist

[@kkiske09]

Very well done. I'm not a martial artist, but even I can appreciate how well done this is.

[@dante135790]

They can feel pain just like anybody else, they just condition themselves their whole lives to deal with and tune out high levels of pain

[@UhYeahNoThanks]

That style requires insane amounts of balance and agility

[@102293]

it must be so hard to get accepted into a shaolin school you have to be GREAT to get in

[@dkgmlgjlg]

yeahh ive been learning it for along time, but there are no schools around that teaches drunken fist. i have videos, friends and the influence of one of my best friend's tae kwon do masters to influence me. i have been reading and understanding the phylosophy of drunken fist, learning the forms, moves, strength, chi(energy/strength) in ur body, and overall mental and physical exercises to be a master of shaolin zui quan, i know im not much of any help but that's how im learning.

[@ihaveacar]

Yes very much so. I have in fact used this style during a tournament where I was confident I was going to beat my opponent hands down and did it for teh lulz. It is all about making your opponent think they have an advantage and then striking hard and fast. It is also fairly good for dodging attacks. There are probably videos of people using this in competition if you want to see for yourself how effective it can be.

[@user-od4rq7qw5i]

slow and more.

[@squall486]

Hehehe very cool. This is one form of Martial Arts where you could make a mistake, fall on the floor and no one would ever know! =D

[@NaviDoodlez]

it takes alot more than a video to learn drunken fist. you need to be flexible, have a strong core, and preferably an iron head. Drunken fist is one of the hardest forms out there and you have to be extremely balanced.

[@SuperShadow9O9]

That's what I do after a glass of orange juice.

[@garryoak]

1:00 uuu he's drunk but he still wants to drink.

[@jeremyfranklinwhitfieldthe2171]

Lmaoaooooo

[@bigpapaboomboom9735]

Drinking 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@manos3790]

'You have offended my family and you have offended the Shaolin temple' LOL

[@ended-randomcreations]

Im curious Does getting himself drunk, enhances his fighting abilities?

[@noxure]

The basic principles: Getting splashed with cold water, getting up early and intense training to strengthen the spirit. Getting hit with split bamboo sticks to make skin less sensitive. Experiencing impact on the stomach while exercising makes them tougher, which protects your organs. Hitting hard objects repetitively makes the skeleton harder and less likely to be injured. The first can be learned in a couple of months, the second and third takes years, the fourth takes decades.

[@BrasilGT]

In a slippery floor? Amazing!

[@blackkoganinja5093]

The 8 drunken immortals. Drunken fist DOES work extremly well when intoxicated or not

[@43black17]

It's Impossible to describe the feeling of seeing someone who spent a majority of their life excelling in something they believe in like martial arts so I guess it's a perspective thing??!!

[@thebusinesstycoonnitin2669]

You are great sir

[@magnusm4]

I wish the greatest martial artist was mainly and solely relying on drunken fist. So many traditional and effective styles, all beat by skill and mastery of the representation of a state of no control, free spoken thought and spontaneous and combustion emotions

[@jimmystone]

This guy hasn't been drunk his entire life...he has no idea how to move like a drunk lol

[@Eterud]

aswell as knowing how to fall without hurting yourself, and very strong legs, arms, and you will need to train your wrists, and fingers A LOAD. it is one of the hardest martial arts to learn and to train for physically.

[@dkgmlgjlg]

thankxsz man, its hard to find a perfect staff wit tha right texture and weight. but i try not to do the most common types of martial arts, i like doing tha unexpected like drunken boxing. the enemy is with his hands up with a kickboxing stance and i look like a drunk. that's really unexpected and cool

[@ZIM2KK1]

the fact he did it in the rain made it even more amazing

[@ifteekharashraf6654]

drunken is not only for for entairtenment but also for fighting i have been learning it for almost a year

[@AndreBarnett]

You deserve more likes.

[@ИванНовоженин-о2к]

Ох ох а видели бы вы как профессионально этот стиль исполняют русские алкаши в моем дворике 🍾🍾🍾

[@DrVoltage1]

I never heard of Shaolin drunken fist. Its alot more crisp than I would have thought. That dropkick at about 0:48 was pretty sweet.

[@dynamoehummm]

Tsots: Sorry this was long ago back I guess 1982? Master Chul Koo Yung. He was 45 at the time, and had all his life. He was at a level and position that others came from other states for testing to 3rd and 4th dan if Irecall. I was fortunate enough to assist in the tests. Man. Hours and hours multiple days. We learned Hapkido as a sidebar, and as I was 'strapping young man' groan guess who he would use. My wrists hurt to this day. I imagine he's up around 9th? as honorary every 10 years?

[@libriano91]

Jackie Chan only does that in movies,in real life he wouldn't drink to fight.I asked my shifu who is a Shaolin monk and he said that you should only pretend to be drunk.But most probably the person or persons who invented the style drank when they fought,but that was a long time ago.There is one legend about the 8 drunk immortals and there are also many other legends that explains how the style was invented.

[@holycrapitsjake_]

HEY. that's wang lu. he's been teaching in california for the past few years.

[@dkgmlgjlg]

probly, all depends how i feel. cause im starting school soon and i wont have much time to myself. but sometime this year i shuld get the opportunity to show some moves and stances etc ya know

[@dkgmlgjlg]

im practicing drunken fist right now and boy is it cool,fun and very good in a fight

[@Jagspear]

@Humanesheild its not only to immitate. people used to fight drunk in this style as far as im concerned.

[@Axxidous]

yeah but then again most people already know drunken fist is powerful. It's very popular and well liked among people who know nothing about martial arts even. And when someone goes to use it, I'm pretty sure they won't be underestimated. Besides in a fight, wouldn't it be wise to never underestimate any opponent? Although getting someone to underestimate you like a fool does sound pretty useful.

[@SkruffyPretzals]

"I can do that, someone hold my beer."

[@mojojoji5493]

“No wait give it back”

[@WiseManFoolMan]

Wow... How wise.. You use your resources well... i too have respect for you to teach yourself... How do you think Praying Mantis or White Crane Kung Fu started? they simply studied the creatures.. Similarly you study books and videos... Good Luck... hopefully when you get good... you can share your knowledge and keep it alive..

[@Appreciation4Life]

you gotta admit that was funny!

[@rizaneta508]

Someone will say "MMA Fighter can beat em easily its for health,art,and show not for combat" COME ON THIS IS REAL SHAOLIN MY FRIEND!!!

[@lovinit53]

i'd like to invite this guy out for a drink

[@Sunomis]

They're not! Picture yourself the chakras as "Chi-stream nodes" within their bodies. But you're right, what does guys do is amazing.

[@riceisdelicious]

They don't actually drink alcohol or anything. They only imitate the movements of a drunk person.

[@Queen0piranna]

there is a shaolin master at the bottom of every can of beer... apparently...

[@dkgmlgjlg]

its probly frightening cause its 1 inch and 4 your information its one of the most unexpected fighting styles in a fight and it will win against anyone if done correctly

[@noxure]

The word chakra has Indian (sanskrit) origins, in Chinese it's called dantien and in Japanese hara. Dantien/hara is actually a different concept than chakra, but it's they're similar. The principle is that the dantien are sources of three different types of energy: jing, chi and shen that flow through the body. Jing is sexual energy, chi is life force and shen is spirit. Chinese martial arts is centered around building up and molding those energies into ki (solidity) and wuji (emptiness).

[@bigfatdick5000]

The monk was probably imagining some Hennessy's in his hands.

[@thatoneyoutuberthatsinacti8025]

Bo rai cho would be jealous

[@SnakeChimera]

no, its like animal kung fu, they're not really animals, they're imitating the moments of animals. Same goes for drunken kung fu, they're acting out the movements of a drunk man with martial arts skillz

[@Slythyr]

man i wish shaolin monks actually fought today.

[@brad88922122]

@MrCatbutt Because The drunken fist is a part of "Snake" Style gong fu, which use now closed fist to resemble a snake wrapping and jabbing its victim..

[@dkgmlgjlg]

that's cool yo what u gonna be doing to learn tha arts. ive been practicing ever since i was able to walk so yeahh. i recently broke my waxwood staff and only able 2 learn hand to hand combat lately. still gotta find another perfect staff though,(^.^)

[@AlexanderMaungVO]

I was mistaken but I thought chakra was simply the Japanese word for chi. but you seem to be right after a little google fu. thanks for sharing.

[@Cooliefuse28]

i remember when i actually use to think you had to be drunk while doing this style.....but that was before i actually started studying and learning this style

[@martialartstips5177]

I started to where are the places that they would teach this

[@JRF1366]

In the modern day, this is considered as voguing.

[@XykuJoxa]

I think people take the 'drunken' part too seriously. It's a simple tactic. Act drunk so that your opponents think you'll be an easy target, then you unleash your full focused aggression since he'll be off guard, thinking you're too intoxicated to be a threat.

[@saintlikegrimm]

0:45 impressive!!!

[@EchoOfPharos]

drunken fist looks like a lot of fun

[@Sigma37]

Well done.

[@21526001270528]

i loooovvvveeee drunken fist. had to teach myself how to do the poses. forchanatly for me im a very limber person so doing those poses are easier. i also like aikido. im takin a class for that though

[@RaptorJames]

That was pretty good.

[@ThatBoyTLong]

ACTUALLY, I used this martial art in a real fight and it works. You just gotta use it properly.

[@Imjustspeakingmymind]

Yea it's random

[@mickeythebutcher]

nooo... someone GET me more beer... how do you expect me to do DRUNKEN fist when i'm sober? pfff

[@Mr7niceguy7]

This always amazes me, the unpredictable drunken style Must be really effective in the dancings lool in street fights But I have a question,ok? Is drunken fist effective in a real match?I mean competition.. I doubt it, but I don't do kung fu ok?

[@siulvam]

this is a one of the best arts in the word :)

[@bladethrower9000]

@poemalocko That was his kata.... He obviously won't take time if a fight arises to fake a drinking binge. Drunken fighting is used to deceive opponents. I've seen fights with one competitor being of the drunken style; the other fighter's are usually hesitant because you don't know what the hell will happen.

[@crazysolo95]

they practice stuff like this idk. i heard of it before but i dont remember where

[@MrBmantheman]

@nikodarxp He did, thats an actual formed landing in drunken fist...

[@WebMonkey1000]

My beer can do that there, hold me

[@iflickuoff]

im not. ive sparred with some of my buddies who do mma and i do shaolin kung fu. they try way too many take downs but i move a hell of a lot faster than them and use pressure points all the time.

[@chartojunior5394]

ive seen that in superscience they use the "chakra" and concentrate it to the certain part of their body.. the guy in the show did it with a spear to his throat leaning on the tip...

[@FreeNomad88]

isn't this like one of the best martial arts?.. =D you get to fight AND drink at the same time.. =D

[@mickeythebutcher]

" I can do that. Hey bro, get me more beer. "

[@mrbiggIes]

@babygotbackyall Drunken style is a way of fighting in the drunken state. Forms are also meant to entertain, like a dance. They clapped, so I think he did the form correctly, and also pleased the audience.

[@kbub8]

@43black17, you are right and wrong. Yes, MMA contains bits and peices of various arts, but since when were the legitimacy of martial arts determined from who can hit the hardest? (especially ninjutsu, which emphasizes deceptive and stealthy attacks). Like any other pair of martial arts, there are many kung fu practitioners who can school MMA competitor, and vise-versa. Since most of these martial arts are used sparingly in warfare nowadays, M.A tend towards self improvement and not killing

[@Frostiken]

That flying backflop looked painful as hell.

[@tangiterau13]

wow, never knew shaolin monk guys got drunk. I think this style calms the nerves as well. I play pool at the bar better when im drunk . A sober person gets nervous and can be easly put off balance. Im no expert or anything. the only belt ive got is the one that holds my pants up.

[@danwxm1986]

I bet he hurt himself doing that,.. he should take up my style ''Stoners foot''

[@bluyu]

Actually, he didn't. While the technique seems improvised, each time he fell and land, it was near perfectly calculated. He knew which part of his body he should use to land each time.

[@bigpapaboomboom9735]

They spend years falling like that's training. Fun fact most monks suffer from arthritis in their later years.

[@Axxidous]

@Natos72 well I only say that about MMA because seems like your moves would be less predictable with MMA if the person didn't know what style you were going to use next. But that's just to make it LESS predictable because it seems like the only way it should be predictable is by the style because should all your hits be unpredictable nomatter what style you use? If Drunken fist is a style, then won't it eventually become predictable? Unpredictable can be unaffective too sometimes.

[@tuoice]

thanks i was wondering cause in jackie chan movie jackie chan would drink otns of beer and i didnt understand cause you cant have a sence of timming or aim when ur durnk thansk for hlep

[@fotulj]

still more valid than aikido

[@theicechinchilla]

can anyone tell me if a girl can be a Shaolin worrier also???

[@cortx2lh]

Is this effective?

[@danny205wp]

i'm litlle suprised when i hear about art of ninjitsu, it's just like you say art of MI6, S.A.S or art of Dealta force ,they were masters of many disciplines and they were spies , kind of special forces in feudal japan

[@ForseMaster]

Oh my God those break falls. I'd learn the style just for that.

[@SuburbanShinobi8000]

@TheMartialartsJedi uhh... A guy at my old Dojang used to do that and Get in tomble for it. I fall into a lot of traps also.

[@100percentserious]

u've spilled ur cup of wine, do u kno

[@ConnorWilsonG]

@mrsubscribe11 yeah, i think its to have the opponent let their guard down, then they strike.

[@MusicalAbsinthe]

@Humanesheild its a style of Wushu

[@jasonmc10]

@lopheaded1192 good job you know your stuff unlike most percentage of the world

[@tuoice]

Just wondering with drunken fist/boxing do they really get drunk >?

[@jasonmc10]

@acez777 thers such thing as a kooler style though like drunken fist and ninjitsu

[@MusicalAbsinthe]

@Humanesheild Its a form of Wushu ..do you really think some one drunk can have that kind of balance?

[@youmeyou11]

if you give you re beer away. You do your first mistake^^

[@Sunomis]

Actually, it's "Chi" that they use.

[@2411DOG]

i know that this is just a fist form but are the shoaling monks actually permitted to drink?

[@Alby121]

i wish i were as good as this guy.. without the rain too

[@Gman6755]

I'll buy a round for the temple, please!

[@teeheeman1000]

redbull gives you wings

[@FaithfulWords]

They do feel pain, they just train to overcome it.

[@user-tz1xp6so4t]

wow 13 years video ago

[@monkeyking32]

this is modern wushu, most of it is just to impress viewers. for me its more for conditioning and exercise. however, within the form itself where the modern form may have been derived from, there may be combative applications. i mean if you did this, you would have to have extremely fast reflexes. real fights don't look this pretty. i love this form, but its more modern day sport wushu

[@43black17]

Ummmm... To ALL those who disagreed with my comments - to each his own. Just wonder what the greats like Bruce Lee and others would think about MMA nowadays??? btw: Cagefighting was Gladiators in ancient Rome: one man, NO rules. Guess ppl don't understand I enjoy both traditional martial arts and MMA so they seem to think I am a hater in sum odd way which I am not.
