I noticed with the rise of the UFC many american martial artists are completely discrediting the skill of shaolin monks to "flashy wushu moves".

The following video conclusively ends the debate over who will win in an all out fight:



As you can see. This video exposes a critical weakness in the MMA fighter; one that the shaolin monk does not even flinch at.

I think that our opinions will agree

thank you

My god ... That just goes to show how impressive their training is. MMA fighters can duke it out for a few minutes in a ring but this guy doesn't even feel pain. That was nauseating and he didnt even flinch.

Wow that was crazy. It takes serious balls to not have to cringe and automatically grab your nuts after 3 swift kicks.
Shorts down shorts up, BOOM, just like that.

Not just to not grab for them. But to stay right side up.

Isn't Dan Hardy a Shaolin Monk? I mean that guy trained with them for a year IIRC. That's why he never taps out to GSP's submissions.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Haha, someone should pick up those skills and then take on the $500,000,000 challenge.

Err i dunno how accurate the above video is. I think those that practice getting kicked in the balls actually develop muscles to ascend their balls into their body cavity out of harms way. I seriously doubt you can take serious force to them without getting injured. Its not so much that the pain isn't getting transmitted and more that actual balls arent being kicked.

That said I'd still take a MMA fighter lol. Those that practice this 'art' have to be singularly focused and prepare their bodies beforehand, but you cant really steel yourself against being knocked out/choked out.

My question is: How would balls of steel save you if you get punched in the face?

That video makes me feel sympathy pain in my balls, and for no good reason, because he doesn't even feel it.

Employ a tight high guard while thrusting your hips towards your opponent, legs way to the side, balls defenseless. Hope your opponent tires himself out from the bait or despairs at your iron balls and forfeits.

No, he didnt tap out to gsp's submissions because hes a crazy baddass, and because it wasnt the "proper"technique for the submissions...

Hardy spent a year with them... these guys train every day since the age of 5 for the whole day... hardy is 28 he spend 1 year training shaolin, while 28 year old shoalin's spent 23 years training...
