[@alichekbigi]

@@attiylanen theres is no single discipline that has any chance against an mma fighter..I'm telling u from experience as a former mma fighter

[@jamesgao26]

@@alichekbigi I agree part of what you are saying , but again , you can't not say all MMA fighters are better than people do not practice MMA . MMA is a fix of everything . Right ?

[@alichekbigi]

@@jamesgao26 correct..but I would rather be good in all aspects of fighting than b great at only one. 99.9 times out of 100 mma guy would stomp at a single art practitioner in a street fight or ring. U will never find a full contact sparring video of any of these KZbin martial artists w kung fu akido etc..because it's not reality..they live in fantasy land where they believe in their own bullshit or do seminars to make money

[@FFTuk]

This is traditional Kung Fu as it should be practiced. Hard work! You can see it in his body and the way he moves. Legit bad ass.

[@salvatormundi5184]

As a martial artist who became a boxer, I can honestly and very modestly say that it has been a very long time since I saw a good martial art video on KZbin. That was really good, thank you for the sharing. There is still good martial art out there in Europe.

[@wacomundo9599]

Lou totally agree

[@shogoracing4294]

Louragan Coming from a martial arts background... what are your thoughts on the effectiveness of what you learned versus what you’ve been taught in boxing? I’m a martial artist, but have many takeaways from boxing that I find extremely useful as far as combat goes... things that I simply wasn’t taught directly in martial arts outside of finding out the hard way in sparring.

[@salvatormundi5184]

From a martial art perspective, boxing is the closest art from the core of martial art. The very essence of martial art is what makes boxing so great : rythm, distance, timing. These are basics, even though most of martial art practice nowadays totally miss this part. Why ? Because in martial art, we don’t spar. Don’t get me wrong, nowadays, many « boxers » do not spar neither, or very few, or not in a good way. Sparring is necessary. Sparring with anyone, good or bad fighter, experienced or not, tall or small, heavy or light. Sometimes soft sparring, sometimes hard sparring. We need both. I’ve never reached the understanding I have of martial art now before going into boxing, and training hard. And you will get punched, but you must raise and keep sparring. To me, this is the only, unique way to really say we’re martial artist. Bruce Lee himself said that sparring was the most important part of the martial art life. After years of experience and a thousand sparring with hundreds of different poeple, yes, I absolutely understand and agree with this. This is why an amateur boxer can fight without difficulty most of martial art master in the world (considering not a big weight difference). Cause he feels, he sees without thinking, he knows when there is an opening, he knows how to manage a distance, how to fake it, how to control his opponenet rythm and how to break his own, he can also feint... I see boxing as the core of every martial art; every martial art needs what is boxing based on. This helps for any martial art. Even weapons.

[@socadancebookmcleod490]

I don’t understand why people separate Boxing from other martial arts... martial means fighting... so boxing is a striking martial art.

[@shogoracing4294]

SOCADANCEBOOK McLeod Although I agree with you, boxing is also a sport and is as distinguished as other combative sports. Martial arts has for a long time been used to refer to combative systems out of Asia. No one walks around calling boxing or wrestling a martial art (although by definition that would be the case).

[@lukecage275]

Noticed there wasn't any talk of 'pressure points' or 'dim mak' or 'my technique' will defeat yours - it was just hard, honest, effective, practical training. Respect.

[@chavruta2000]

it was just i have some knowledge and am prepared to give it to you

[@francosalinas4459]

Wow this was great. Shifu yan lei is awesome. He mixes the spiritual with the physical. The fighting with philosophy. He's one of the few shaolin fighters I follow

[@michaelvick34]

Wow. I'm genuinely impressed. Not only does he have a good unbiased perspective on these various topics, he pretty much stated that techniques from forms need to be understood, practiced and pressure-tested. That's been one of my biggest issues with even the best traditional schools I've been to: a technique is taught, explained, practiced alone and with a partner, but never tested with a resisting opponent.

[@cpa314]

This is how all Kung Fu should be trained. So rare to find such a good teacher.

[@YamamotoKazuo]

Unfortunately 90% of kung full schools don't implement the conditioning and internal training part(despite the knowledge is still available). These kung to school only focus on form and some application.

"nothing best!. Depends on who is practicing" this is very true, people just tent to look at the style not the person.

[@samsun01]

depends on your 'master' which relates to you because you picked the master. so, pick your master wisely. your master and your master's lineage. lineage is very important....which has fuck all to do with 'branding' or popularity.

[@sabinerufie9962]

Thank you for what you said Sifu. I really like the part where you talk about form. I’m a Wing chun practitioner and you made me realized that indeed I must think about how my movement are used and not to be « beautiful ». Thank you so much for this interesting video.

When you train the body with extremities the body will endure and learn as long as you always practice.

[@SuperCamineros]

This is called conditioned fighter.

[@88SJoe88]

Yes but they said a lot about forms and preparations too! It's not just trashing the body in a sea of destruction, they even said something about feeling and understanding the form and knowing how it affects you. That is building a solid foundation. Chi, endurance, self control, self consciousness... All that not to destroy oneself nor throw oneself into a lack of control. We that are young and start to explore our energy... please don't forget to know and listen to yourself too. I had very hard times due to not doing that... I hope you don't need hard times like that... It takes patience.

[@elisha8372]

Thank you for this beautiful form and wise information. Much respect to you all.

[@satnamo]

Forms, gigong and fighting must be combined together; this is Shaolin Gongfu. Real gongfu is not only beautiful but also useful for protecting my self and defending the oppressed.

[@molezaymolbacheh4157]

satnamo satnamo 100% agree!

[@molezaymolbacheh4157]

@Do Bo yes but i can not keep a gun in my pocket all the time!

[@SuperCamineros]

Learning kungfu, tkd, bjj, jet kune do, karate, they are all forms;specific ones. But to say kungfu is bullshit is like saying kungfu practitioner like yilong is bullshit, and the fact that yilong beat world champ tkd guy so easily, does that mean tkd is bullshit ? No ... Because top ufc fighter like Anthony showtime pettis and ben henderson are tkd fighters.

[@rijutatooker8686]

Shifu Yan Lei is the embodiment of dynamism and power! He is tough, telling what he feels in a straight forward way and at the same time, has a fun and playful spirit. Useful can be beautiful! Admirable, is Shi Heng Yi, who listens with tremendous respect and acceptance. Wonderful that these two brothers can come together with ease. 😊 Appreciate the list of 6 "Qi Gong Videos for Beginners from Shaolin Temple Europe" and the list of 9 videos of interviews and Q+A by Shi Heng Yi. 🙏

[@daianaavila7743]

Here you can see the difference in how you train, not what somebody trains. The intend and the usefulness here is so clear. Thanks for this. I'm a Kyokushin practisioner and I see this kind of training very rare outside of other Full Contact Martial Arts like Boxing or BJJ or MMA and so on.

[@tenzin682]

A wonderful video. He has a calmness inside him! Forms are important, they teach you balance how to move in different ways, goes from one movement to another, hand to foot technique, foot to elbow, knees, etc. Amazing video!!

[@satnamo]

I love my forms

[@jbb2660]

This is eye opener...this is like the real stuff you know..it makes you "thinking" as you train...

[@satnamo]

Ultimately, Shaolin Congfu is about Stop thinking. Just do it my friends because there is no wrong practice; Only wrong attitude. Have fun Be focus Stay immerse That is congfu jb!

[@Jedi_Jed]

I think this is a very good video to show your philosophy and teaching style Shifu. I particularly liked and understood the part about forms and the importance of making them useful for fighting. I began martial arts to deal with fear and defend myself so I always think about this. I hope to be a student someday. Thank you for all you do. 🙏

[@satnamo]

Shaolin Congfu=99%practice+1%theory. What is Congfu theory ? Congfu is about das practice because practice is congfu.

[@Jmmm123]

the most impressive thing i find about him is he trains this hard purely for self attainment. Not for competition, no ego, no pride. respect.

So others will be inspired by him to reveal their talents ! I just catched this video at the present moment, and I appreciate very much all the words of GrandMaster Shifu Yanlei 🙏 Yes, it's obvious to see that the majority of "ordinary men" generally are attached to the "forms", the techniques, but they do not feel inside of them the real Energy of Life, probably because Martial Arts are perceived as "Fighting" but not as wonderful doors to find the Qi and the equilibre, with consciousness ;-)...Excellent questions, excellent answers !...Seeing this video, I was thinking that your trainings would be soooo helpful to young boys pretty lost, without discipline in their everyday, in cities or in any place. They would learn so much with you to become the wonderful Light they really Are, deeply inside of them...Maybe you could have some partnership with cities or associations in Europe ?...
