sucks that they spar in sanshou at the end instead of actual shaolin kung fu. probably because the monks know it would just make the fighquest guys look stupid lol…I would like to see gracie get his ass kicked by a shaolin monk, that would make the MMA guys admit that MMA is a sport for jocks not a martial art
@alkesch no problem^^,wad i am guessing is that each of the martial arts they learn,the masters would actually tell their students to go easy and not all out on them.i really dun believe they can win any of the students in what they do best.haha
@alkesch i would agree with you totally.But i dont think the two guys are a shaolin kung fu student,i just think they are sanda fighters.as you can see,they are not bald,they arent shaolin student.haha
I would respect this series a way more if they would train each martial art at least for a month . I mean what can you learn in 5 days about something people train their whole lives ? In a month you can at least grasp the basic concepts and the necessary physical fittness…
In all honesty, there’s no way that they’ll put a rookie up against an actual “best” fighter, when they’re performing in the same style of martial arts. It’d be degrading and disrespectful towards the art.
MMA is just a mixture of different kinds of martial arts… thats why its called MIXED MARTIAL ARTS… so dont say that the MMA is better than any martial arts Style…
but i prefer to train with these guys… coz i like the way they train themselves with extreme self discipline
@Huhmasta I agree with you that training with these guys would be awesome and they certainly can do amazing things. But they are not real Shaolin/Buddhist monks. They shave their heads and wear monk clothing, but they don’t follow the Buddhist teachings and lifestyle the way the old time monks did. Shaolin Temple is now a Wushu training center. It’s impressive, but it’s not real. It’s become a tourist trap.
@hulkout666 I bet they would be, I dont think it’s wrong to allow outsides int he temple to learn but I think it’s wrong to just going around having a demo team for people around the world to advertise shaolin kung fu. Kinda defeats the purpose of being humble. Still, I’d love to train with these guys any day of the week.
@Huhmasta That is true. They’ll never tell you this, but many of the demonstrations are similar to magic tricks. They do take skill and timing, but not the kind of superhuman invulnerability that most people think. In the old days, there were people similar to gypsies who would travel around and do demos like that. The monks from that time never did things like that though. If they could see what’s being done with Shaolin Kung Fu now being publicly performed, they would be disgusted.
I think the actual breaking of the breaks on your stomach doesnt really do anything to you, the sledge hammer’s force is stopped by the breaking of the breaks, so little of it actually transfers.
@neutrino78x LOL you sir…. are marital arts itelligent
Thank you for your time yo!

@durtycheese
thats what makes it better, its not limited to styles
MMA isnt’ a style its a philosophy
@alkesch why?? its only kickboxing not fight to the death and shaolin students only humans too no superhuman speed or straingh
test your might
i bet doug and jimmy are best friends in real life or at least very close

No one would survive 10 seconds against a shaolin kung fu student!
Fake fight!
@durtycheese if it wasnt for the other styles MMA wouldnt even be a factor i take up MMA but i do understand the concept of the other styles

At least these guys have culture MMA has culture but its nothing like this.
3:55 oh god, what if the sledge hammer misses and hits his groin Dx
Probably true, I would still think that should be followed up with a “do not try this at home” sign, hahaha
i like doug’s master wat a nice person to trai with. I wish my master is liek dat lol soo friendly

Wait, Jimmy’s master could speak english the whole time! 0_o
…all you need to know is that san shou is the most complete stand up fighting there is
