Chinese parents hire 'Iron Man' kung fu monk to guard child
A family in the south of China has hired a Shaolin monk to protect their six-year-old daughter on the way to school in the wake of a series of attacks on Chinese kindergartens.
Hu Qiong, a 38-year-old monk who began studying kung fu at the Shaolin temple aged eight, was hired by the Liu family to accompany their daughter to and from school each day, according to the Shanghai Daily newspaper.
The monk won notoriety two years ago at the China Martial Arts Stunts competition by holding a fast spinning electric drill to his head and stomach without sustaining any injuries. He also caught a running electric saw with his bare hands, winning him the nickname "Iron Man".
Child attackers BEWARE!
i thought it was funny at first, then again i guess it makes sense, better to have a kick-ass shaolin monk in ur school to protect u rather than a black suit body guards to freak out everyone...
i can't the the video where he did the stunt where he drilled his own head though, any1 can find it?

His years of kung fu training obviously thickened his skull to allow him to perform such a feat. Hopefully he never needs brain surgery, the doctors would have no way of getting to the brain.
Wtf catching running electric saw what is this. This is kind of madness, but I guess so are the acts that this is supposed to defend against. I really want to see video of that monk in action though. There's no way.... drill + saw = ???

Well, i wouldn't be surprised if someone would hire a 'bodyguard' for their kids. It has been 5th or even 6th attack to Chinese kindergartens/small schools this year.
Hopely this is true, and it'll save some lives if some crazy will decide to do such thing.
It's possible to reinforce bone like that. It's like the tiger claw technique. They jab their fingers into hard surfaces causing mini breaks in bone. Eventually the finger tips get so reinforced from the healing process that they can tear into flesh like claws.

But come on... Monk as bodyguard? Sounds ridiculous
Full Metal Panic was the first thing that came to my mind for some odd reason. Having a kung fu master go to school with you is pretty bad ass. Her show and tell presentation will be the envy of the entire school.
And anyway, I believe they normally use diamond-tipped drill bits when going through the skull because of how goddamn hard it is. I guess it didn't break the skin either, but who knows; there's probably an explanation beyond secret ninja powers.
