I was lucky enough to have my camera on hand when I stumbled upon a public show that the a group of shaolin monks put on at the university of washington on October 5, 2006. The video contains footage of actual shaolin monks that were in town for a kungfu demonstration.

  • You mean doing ...

    You mean doing fancy forms is what they used on the thieves? You're shitting me. They have police, military and any other government protection agency in that country to defend their temples now. A thief, if he was to use force, would use a gun, and spears, swords, nunchucks and those ropes with knives on the end always lose against guns.

    The monks have no reason to train for fighting since they don't compete and they never have to use it. Furthermore, they don't fight in training at all.

    Is "face"? What the F**k does that mean?

    I never said anything about kung fu other than it is NOT the origin of all martial arts.

    And all I said about the monks is they don't train to fight. They don't fight and so can't fight. It'd be like me talking about good a basketball player when all I ever do is dribble the ball up and down the court. That's not actually playing basketball, just like doing forms and conditioning all day AND NOTHING ELSE isn't fighting.

  • Obviously I did see ...

    Obviously I did see it since I described said "spear". It was NOT pointy. It was NOT sharp. It was a piece of metal that could have been a decoration in someone's house. You call that a spear? It was about half an inch thick AT THE END and the tip was VERY rounded.

    Those other "spears" were dull as hell too. LOOK AT THE THICKNESS OF THE BLADE. If you were to make a weapon that you wanted to be lethal and sharp, would you make on that thick? Even big-ass swords are a lot thinner.
