I would totally hire a shaolin monk, if nothing else, for the fun of it. if you read the news article u woulda know. to all of you who doubt the autheticity of real kung fu, the human body is much more powerful than u think, remember the jump the scene where morpheus shows neo how to do the jump in the matrix? anyhow i've been looking around for videos on these shaolin monks, and i have to say its quite an eye opener of what these monks are capable or, actually i'm just surprised at what the human body is capable of... still though, all is for naught unless they can do crazier shit like stopping bullets, they make a great body guard in a country where guns aren't available widely i guess. | ||

That's hardly the same thing. These people train this art since childhood. And I'm pretty sure, but correct me if I'm wrong, Jackie Chan did NOT go through the type of training these monks do. Actually Jackie Chan has broken his bones dozens of times. Jackie Chan was a stuntman before becoming a major actor. So of course he uses rigged pieces when filming movies, lol. | ||

Yea i've read his autobiography. So yes he did go through that kind of training. | ||

And he wasn't a shaolin master (which are known to do "impossible" stuff like these). | ||

He's a stuntman, and these guys dedicate their lives to hardcore training. And also, my cousin's boyfriend has been exercising Tai Qi for many many years (10-15+) and he can do some really impressive stuff, so I have more than enough reason to believe that this stuff is 100% real. | ||

Sure, they train lots and are strong. But making skin inpenetratable? Making any part of the body as hard as steel? Just tell me how this works biologically. If it were true, some unbiased scientific setup would have checked this...yup it's a coincidence this has never happened. You can't break sticks that have a diameter of 1 inch against a wall...but you can against a shaolin mork? Don't be ridiculous, attack power is equal! I do believe they can resist pain very well. But there's this video of a western guy taking a kick to the balls, so it's surely not limited to shaolin style. But all the other stuff, breaking things and resisting cuts is just magic tricks or something. Heh, drunk post btw, hope i didnt offend anyone. | ||

I'd rather have one of those than some burly guy with a beer belly or giant muscle head tbh. edit: watching the video, the sticks break wayy too cleanly...as do the bricks or w.e, they wouldn't all have the same perfect cut right down the middle | ||
