    This is real. It is possible! the reason why he is not moving is becasue he should not!! It is the position of least stress. Go back to your physics books. and about bulging and bending hte finger. Thats the whole point is'nt it? there are prople who lift buckets of water with their eye lids, ask them why they wotn rip!! people who pull trucks with hair ask them why it wont cut. people who take bottle caps with your eyes lids Since I wont do it and when I tried it I bleeded , does'nt mean that its GENERAL. DO BOT generalize your body parts with all others. I am pretty sure You might have some real small body parts . Now you cant argue..Oh my god ! thats fake!! It can't be that big!!!
    Now people. I believe this is a ral stunt. Looking at his neck and his SLOW but controlled and steady breathing (yeah if you cant see that, get your eyed checked) and slight movement (vibrational, those kind that happen when you go on to the stage and hold a paper and dont to jack to say!!!! remember? that kind) in his TENSED hands kept in a perfect angle of least stress relative to the body and trying to maintain them in that position!!!
    Those who think you are skeptic and just criticize for the sake of it with out enough knowledge of what you are talking about. Shame on you!! Just imagine how the poor innocent soul who really did it whould feel before you come to false conclusions with ignorance. please tak no offence but try to underswtand what I am saying.
    Thank you

  • it is REAL

    This is a KUNG FU technique teached by Shaolin Monks of China called "IRON FINGER" OR "BUDA FINGER" only reserved for a few selected practitioners. But to see it in action just look at BRUCE LEE home videos , HE DOES 2 FINGERS PUSH UPS WITH ONE ARM BEHIND THE BACK AND THE OTHER ABOVE THE HEAD!!!IT has to do with hard training, tendons, ligaments and proper use of the laws of physics.

  • True Master

    Just some onfo:
    This is Hai-Tank the only person known to have ever mastered 1-finger chi. He died in 1989 and the footage was made a year before his death.
    He didn't not invent the skill, however it was unknown until he displayed it at a martial arts exhibition in Chengdu in the late 40's.

  • 1 Finger Chi

    1 Finger chi is a Shaolin Kung Fu technique only practiced by very few. Presently, I do not believe there is anyone alive who can perform it (I think the man here was the last) but there are new students who can use 2 finger chi/ki (however you wanna say it) and are working towards the 1 finger. The benefit is an incredible concentration of power on a specific point. A finger that can support your weight can probably penetrate a fleshy human body rather easily. Who knows, maybe even a ribcage...

  • he was

    a shaolin monk, and this is a demo of "Chi Gong". " Chi can be applied to almost any part of your body, in his case, it's his finger. Most shaolin monks in china know "chi gong", and all military police in china have to learn that too. The shaolin monks are having shows around the world in major cities.

  • look at the wall

    yes this is amazing but not as much as you think. He is leaning against the wall with his feet and the wall is bearing most of his weight. For example I know I couldn't do a hand stand but I bet I could support myself on both hands with my legs against the wall at an angle. If this guy could support himself on one finger straight up without leaning on the wall then I would have to start believing that the martial arts are really mystical instead of just a lot of hard work and practice as well as knowledge. As it is Iwould bet you that most of the olympic level gymnasts could do the same move.

  • i'm not sure how he does it;

    It may be a positioning illusion, or he may be holding a support to the ceiling with his other hand,(still a good feat of strength and balence for anyone), but one thing is for sure: When you want to exhibit a feat of this sort on tape, you -must- show a -continuous- shot as proof. There is simply -no- reason to -edit- past all the positioning, straight to the 'money shot', except one: fakery. Gotta keep it short? : Skip all the meditation, and show me the man working his way into position.

    • aaah...yeah, uh-huh

      I'm not referring to the possibility of someone somewhere being able to this. I'm not referring to kungfu or any other art, nor Chinese or any other culture: I'm referring to -this film clip-. There is no real-time continuity to prove that the supposed feat is actually occurring. If the guy really did it, great, but the film does ot show this. You may -believe- it, if you wish, for whatever reasons you wish, but you can not -know- it, al least not from watching this film. You think I don't believe in the limitless power of the human mind to control the body? Wrong, I do. It is you who aparrently doens't believe in the power of the human mind to edit a film.

    i must say i was shocked when i saw that but let me clarify something.
    They showed us the "Before" And "After" scenes only.. The "Before" is when he was sitiing down warming up and the "After" is when he was already standing on his finger.. Woudnt it be more "BELIEVABLE" if they showed us the PROCESS of doing it? i mean WHILE he was doing it.. ? :)

  • One Finger Zen

    This is totally possible, but it takes years of training (and by this i mean decades). Infact his age actually strengthens his ability to do this. There is no one currently able to carry this act out and most people can only utilise Two Finger Zen (same thing but with two fingers instead of one). The main purpose of the technique is to strenghten the fingers and in doing so with enough practice you can balance your entire body on two fingers or one.

      he got up there and how he got down is largely irrelevant, the fact is he is doing it, even if he had helpers to hold him while he extends and then retracts his finger to get into/out of position it is still remarkable.

    It might convince me if the video showed him achieving that position. I agree that the lack of body tension and the fact that his finger is "supporting" his body while at a considerable angle from the vertical reveals this to be a fake.

Introduction to a movie (movei trailer ) etc.

    I have to admit, the first time I watched this I was very skeptical. Since I can’t prove it is fake, I won’t say it is. He was obviously in very good shape and a very talented man. However, even if it is 100% authentic, I didn’t see anything that couldn’t be fraudulently duplicated by someone with much less skill.

    Very good clip. Thank you.

    For those who think this is fake - its not. This is from a documentary that has been showed on National Geographic. This monk is now dead and nobody master the skills of 1 finger chen anymore(think that was the name - correct me if I'm wrong) but some shaolin monks (some of them are kids ;) can do it on two fingers.
    And for those who can not see the point of this - try to imagine that he can throw a punch and canalize all his power down to his ONE finger ... It's gotta hurt :)

      If you pay attention to his finger tip and the blood vessels around his neck, you will see that he is in upside down position. IT definately is not fake... You know some people are so offensive and ignorant when they see something that they can not do it and be afraid of unknowns.

      Try doing a press up on one finger of each hand. Or even two. Or three! You will see how much your fingers bend just holding your upper bodyweight. Even if you're a skinny runt. Which I suspect you are.

      Why would you want to see someone hold themself up with an erect penis? Would you really be impressed by the action or you just want to see the erect penis? As for the other comment yes a knife would be more effective but you need to imagine getting hit by his finger in your pressure points. Sometimes the most damage comes from dull objects. Also there is a video circulating around of Bruce Lee using his finger to punch soda cans.
