Have you ever seen the kind of training Shaolin Monks go through? It's like 12 hours a day of constant exercise. How do they now completely destroy their bodies? Especially their joints? It doesn't make sense that these people can live into old age and still be able to do this shit, even Olympic gymnasts barely last past their 30s.
What kind of black magic are these people dealing with? Where can I get some?

>How do they now completely destroy their bodies
That was supposed to say how do they not* destroy their bodies, if it wasn't obvious.
I feel like isometrics has something to do with it.
They practice so much and so consistently that their ligaments, tendons, and bones strengthen adequately enough to support their muscles.
the thing is they do destroy their bodies my friend trained with them for a year 8 hours a day 5 days a week and he walks with a cane a 19 now
why do i not believe this post
Most of these Asian nerds would get destroyed by any UFC fighter. Don't believe this stuff
Id rather monk than ufc
They practice gunfu

Jesus Christ, why is there always a UFC fanboy sucking on their fighters’ dicks whenever somebody brings up kung fu? We get it, you’re the ultimate fighting champions, fucking get a room, the adults are too busy talking about physical development and endurance to deal with you right now.
How so?
Really? That’s it? I thought ligaments and tendons weren’t strengthened by exercise like muscles
By not being scared of working out for more than 40 minutes because they read something online about "muh cortisols will spike and I'll get low T and gyno!"
I mean I’ve exercised for around 4 hours a few times before, and every time afterwards, I felt like I was falling apart for the next week...
Gymnasts stop training. The body is capable as long as you train it.
Read what the roman armies did back in the day. They'd run a stupid amount of miles, with gear, set up camp, and then get a training session in. People were meant to be active and strong as fuck.
The more you train the body, the better
actually they have gay sex with eachother all the time
Pussy
Because they don’t do solely muscle training. You can train strength, but eventually your muscles will require rest to recover and grow. But you can train your balance forever, you can train flexibility for hours, you can train your senses for a while, you could do kata for hours etc. So they’re still training, it simply isn’t pure strength or muscle training.
Neither are bones, but density can increase and your ligaments and tendons can adapt to an extent.
Only a fool would believe that shaolin is still real and about physical development. Mao killed Kung Fu in China with the cultural revolution, the Shaolin temple is a tourist scam for gullible westerners like you
Shaolin temple is a fake scam for foreigners
Yeah but they claim to have deadly martial art skills which they clearly don't. So if they just stopped pretending they are dangerous fighters maybe Americans would stop calling them out on their bullshit
It's called train from child
It's called a fake circus attraction for tourists
Do you have a single source to back that up?
because of their commitment and mindset. they don't have bills n bitches to deal with, eat the shit the temple chef provides them and get to be a good force for their community/nation.
so literally everything thats wrong with your life is right with theirs, that opens their dedication and mindset to shine thru on a biological level.
Okay, so a long time ago I was assigned to teach English in a butt-fuck nowhere part of the Shaanxi province. There was a shaolin academy nearby and my town was like being in the X-Men mansion. You would see some freakish shit on the daily.
On time I was heading to a nearby lake to chill and read a book, and an old man saw me kick a tree (I was readjusting my shoe). He laughed and said "Howhowhooo, that is so weak!"
He then lifted his shirt and pressed his stomach to the tree. He started to... I don't know, roll his abs? It's hard to explain. But he gained momentum and this thick-ass tree started shaking violently, like a giant was shaking it lose from the ground. Leaves were going everywhere.
I think he thought I was half-heartedly "training" on a tree, so he decided to mogg me by sexually assaulting said tree with his torso. His smug face of satisfaction haunts me to this day.
I'm not sure I understand this story.
i can't tell if it's a copy pasta or a real story
isometrics exercises
Care to join me?
>China is full of corrupt assholes
Doesn't mean the temple is fake
>Kung-Fu loses to Taekwondo
Wow it's almost like one is designed as a form of exercise that strengthens the body and mind and the other is an aggressive combat sport that teaches you how to fight
Wit
What
That man could have killed you instantly if he wanted to do so. He's practicing at a top 1% level.
Shaolin temple claims they can teach deadly martial arts. If they just claimed to strengthen body and mind nooen would bat an eye.
>Kung-Fu loses to Taekwondo
How the fuck did you get that from the video? Even if it were true it could just be a lousy Shaolin monk vs a exceptional Takwondo guy. That would proof nothing. The point is that this is the closest thing to an actual fight you will find of a shaolin monk. It's not a fight but a choreography. There isn't any evidence Shaolin guys can fight, besides from some bald kickboxer who refers to himself as a shaolin monk (which he isn't). If they referred to themselves as dancers it wouldn't matter, but they call themselves warriors and fighters, which is an insult to real martial artists
It's a fake scam to get money from stupid amerilards
I don't k ow how those fuckers can let people kick then in the nuts and not feel it. There is something to that at least.
>false accusation against the Buddhist version of the pope
>history article that actually works against your case
>a blog post from what appears to be the 90s by some White McDojo owner who clearly has no idea wtf he's talking about
>a gimmick fight where a supposed monk fights a "master" even though monks are Buddhists and don't fight for sport.
You takin' the piss m8?
They actually suck up their nuts to that space where they were before you hit puberty. I don't know how, but that's what I heard. You can do it right now if you shove them up their with your hands, but idk how they do it hands free, and then hold it there.
>How do they not completely destroy their bodies? Especially their joints
I have a feeling they do, they have just trained themselves to ignore the pain.
Aint the case
youtu.be
0:14 seconds in.
Why is there smoke coming out of your oven seymour?
Their entire morning is dedicated to preparing their joints. Various repeated movements and such.
Insider here.I've done kung fu for 10 years, and my teacher has connections with the temple, and one of the wushu boarding schools in China.I've actually had a chance to meet the abbot himself when my school went to visit, we drank tea, and got a picture with him. It was weird because I didn't realize how big of a deal that guy was politically until we walked out of the office and there was an entire crowd of people standing outside just trying to get a glimpse of the guy.
Idk about his political situation, I know he has some controversy around him, but he seemed like a pretty decent guy.
Anyway, the monks are pretty badass, I've never seen them fight or spar myself, but I've been told they spar full-contact, just like the wushu schools do(which I HAVE seen), so I'd assume they're at least as good as your typical Sanda fighter(sanda is actually just the kung fu version of sparring, idk why they named it that, there's this whole confusion that Sanda is its own separate style, but it's not, it's still just kung fu any wushu practitioner also learns Sanda, and vice versa, you don't get one without the other)
Most of the monks you see out there in public demonstrations are more performers.They wear the uniforms, and they practice all day, and they're all REALLY good and everything. But there are a handful of ACTUAL monks who don't do public shows, and they focus on the traditional stuff.
It's kind of weird, but most kung fu schools are super paranoid about displaying their actual forms in public, so it's usually just a segment or two followed by some acrobatic stuff. They do that because Chinese people are assholes, and they'll straight up steal your shit, and then open up their own school under your name to make a quick buck, and start ruining the style's name, and your own credibility.So they keep some things secret, that way it's easy to call them out.You can tell pretty quick though, they always oversell their shit, and they look really clumsy when they move.
As for how they survive training. The teachers make sure nobody is moving in a way that's dangerous to their joints or anything, I do the same when I help out with teaching the younger students at my own school.
Besides that, it's just consistency, and never stopping. My great-grandma used to say "the day you stop moving is the day you die" and she was right. She lived well into her 90s, she drank like a slavic, and she was perfectly lucid and mobile right up until she died.
jesus fuck
Yeah the links are pretty retarded but are you seriousely implying Shaolin monks can fight?
Lmao imagine defending a chinese tourist scam
based weird culture story poster
fpbp
>In 10 years I never saw them fight but I was told they do full contact sparring so I assume they are great fighters
Are you retarded?
>read what the roman armies did
>people were meant to be
Agree with everything you just said but don't use something like roman living to support a statement about what humans were meant to do.
Kek
I don’t go to their school, i was only there for a few hours. I’ve practiced a style of praying mantis for 10 years, we spar full contact, although it’s optional in our school because Americans are pussies.
