I bet this group of people must be the most spiritual and happy people on earth.

its not about how many people they can beat up. it's a beautiful art that requires extensive training and dedication. it should be given the respect it deserves.

the old man was ''off the hinges'' excellent concentration''! the kid also was amazing !

It was beautiful to watch this child demonstrate his skill and then, from youth age, watch the elder monk show the power of Shaolin dedication across time. This is the greatness of Shaolin Temple- endurance, longevity, peace.

I saw this show some few tears ago. Towards the end the eldest monk came out and during his performance stomped with one foot on the stage. The resulting boom and vibration were so powerful that they skipped the sound system back stage!

@tuttle368 16 years ago

not this boy. he asked permission from his parents to send him to the Shaolin Temple when he was 5. After winning tournaments in his hometown when he was 4, he wanted to train more with the monks. He visited his parents every weekend. Some kids were orphans (maybe) but not most of them.

now what i find most interesting aside from the performance is the back story behind it. ends up that they are not truely the monks, just students ofthose learning under people who were training to be monks. i remeber watching it in a documentary and they brought up this show in it. aside from that very skillful

I didnt watch all of the video, but i bet that lil kid would be an awesome break dancer.

@yeliwofthecorn 14 years ago

Having done backstage work at some of these shows, while this is all 100% real, as soon as these guys get off stage after doing things like breaking metal or concrete with their bodies, they swear like crazy! Their skill lies more in their ability to control their bodies reactions, at least temporarily, to produce extraordinary results.

The kid's breakfall is outstanding and his root is deep and very well set. I was never so stable. Really impressive. For the record McDonalds and Xbox 360 are more child abuse then this.
