The cinematographer that is responsible for these captures, needs to be given the most prestigious award that falls into that category! Plus a raise. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

As a mom, it is cute to see that mother-child relationship is the same universal. People are people first before they take on their roles. I admire these Shaolin monks for their amazing discipline and determination. I like the Master’s statement in selecting who to teach, “I don’t want to teach a trouble maker.” Beautiful documentary, thank you.

Very exceptional documentary...this documentary series is priceless

This documentary series about the Shaolin Kung Fu is the best that I've come across. Thank you.

Thank you for that. A person has the right to know who they are dealing with before taking them under their wing so to speak. Not just taking anyone on because compatibility must be had and a teachability seen. This I respect within the true Masters. They have learned much within their own understandings and a healthy pride within that is a positive attitude to have. If someone cannot find a healthy pride why would they want to be associated with a belief or person. I'm not a traditionalist by nature but I can appreciate their traditions are important to them. I'm sure there are many time wasters or those who don't fully appreciate the level of dedication needed by both student and Master.

First one of many who is aware to not to train the trouble maker a huge respect !

Wow, traditional is the best for understanding. The skill of wushu is never-ending.

As I get to be an old man I can understand what some of the old men feel , they can't just give up on Kung Fu because Kung Fu and them are the same thing .

Thank you for sharing these empowering time capsules for all generations to get a small glimpse into the many teachings, traditions and training of Kung fu.

I have watched these episodes more than 3x,yet every time I come back,I learn more about myself,keeping myself grounded in Nature as much as is possible to the benefit of others,and not their detriment! I had practiced in years past(70-90's) in 4 styles of the martial art's. I have on necessary occasion's,implied my will against others who thought size mattered. I have sparred against Kung Fu Practitioner's using Tae Kwon Do (Style vs Style Only) and I found that attacking them only gives me away,enabling them to easily fend me off and smile! I had to bow,not because the match was his,but because I realized that I had come up against a superior power that saw me not as an opponent,but as someone worthy of sparring with for exercise. I was beat,but I enjoyed the match immensely! I was beat,but I still won because I learned something that caused me to seek a higher knowledge and power! My styles were Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Jujitsu and wrestling and boxing. I have not practiced in a long time,but even at 65,I feel alive and remember the breathing exercises to compliment each move.

My favorite documentary so far! Its perfect!!!

buddhism as its best and the appearence of some masters who showed me some parts of shaolin styles I`m never thought about ... i`m seeing again what was the impression of bruce lee : the tao hasn`t to be taught on your bushido ... it`s the way of increasing movement on the bushido itself , training has now a new character gotten and the flower of the opening lotus is getting its time...thankful in deep patience and inner silence is louder than i thought

Hu Wei the child @ 25:11 is a natural artist. He would do well to learn that craft in addition to his fathers teachings.

Made in China, this kung fu (this well done film) speaks for itself about made in china things. Perfect, lovely, awesome. From the heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thank you, CGTN!!!

Rather lose my arm or leg than los this excellent disicple....What a teacher!

Fantastic documentary, thank you so much

Just amazing¡¡¡¡ chinese people must be very proud of their culture. Shaolin monks are pasionate for perfeccion and elegance

I can t tell how amaizing i found this!!!! Thankyou. Amituofo.

Just watched parts 1 and 2. An excellent series. Very interesting!

🎉🎉🎉 thanks for the future strong wishes. God bless our future. Amen

kung fu is quite a natural medical way of purity as in a form of a fillesd up cup which gets water in it by shining trough eyes and movement water is the key to feel the energy in chi flowing like water through my veins again... i can feel the process increases ...thankful for every healing cell in that moment... best documentary in the right ti,me of the momentary ära

Fantastic again

This has been a fantastic journey

this documentary is truely a master piece .

Excellent, great video.

very nice channel to understand the life of a monk.

Seen a lot of comments about comparing MMA to this. Why? Those are totally different things. MMA is overall a more effective way of fighting, but Shaolin isn't just about fighting matches, it's a lifestyle.

î see how people are inspired by the shaolin traditions to control their bodies... pain and emotianally i`m over filled... doors are open for all the peoples who their emotionally fullsize reached...true and honest eyes i saw over the whole documentary

The master in this episode, Hu Zheng Sheng, has been featured on my channel, as was the older teacher Xu Wu Dao!

Nice video 👍

Ancient Shaolin temple teached subjects are, 1. Philosophy (zen, Buddhism, Taoism) for mind strongness; 2. Physical training (excercises, Kung fu, meditation) for body strongness; 3. Medicine (herbs knowledge, disease & injuries healing, health science, longevity of natural life).

42:11 He's overcome with emotion when seeing the favorite weapon of his late sifu. I promise, the Japanese will pay for this!!

Great thanks

@32:55 like a scene from a movie i can feel the emotion all around wow

Wow great job

I hope Lor Cheng goes back to his teacher somehow and still can help his family. Also it is sad the 7th generation mantis master did not teach his skills to his disciples. Do not be like him. Spread the techniques on to the next generation before it is too late!

Talk about dedication.

They have good Kung Fu skills.. and great acting skills..

Nicely done

brilliant

Brilliant

8:13，The warrior monk pulled up a stone, on which was written “the 26th year of daoguang ，道光26年”， which means that the stone was cast in 1846.

And now that that fathers master has passed away. Crying at his grave for forgiveness, the secrets must be passed down to his son’s. If no one else. The master would say nothing to forgive. You are the master now

Very good indeed

MMA never actualy beats anyone, its about the artist not the art.

24:36, it's excellent that the camera people do not dampen or obliterate the family's difficult conversation. I think, if the camera crew is fair-minded, then their presence can help the family explore the matter, because now each family member knows that there is someone besides the family itself to sit in judgment on what they say. "Fair-minded" means that the TV people want to know what the family thinks, instead of wanting the family to enact what the TV people think.

I love KUNG Fu AND I AM READY TO DIE FOR KUNG FU

I have downloaded two series and these stories really inspires me a lot. How much hard work and dedication they put in is really commendable. But I am also surprised to see that their surroundings are primitive.

💝 Love 💝 from ❤️ india 💝 jharkhand ❤️ jamshedpur 💝 jugsalai ❤️ chaprahiya 💝 mohallah ❤️ 1:51

Wish I had been born there for this reason

The secret is and listen well......there is kung fu in everything, in every movement exists kung fu

Nice videos

I love shaolin temple, namo amituofo

I am going to make a Shaolin Orangatang Monster suit to wear down the pub, hopefully, nobody will dare to bother me!

11:30 Orangutan Monster-Style, my new favourite Kung fu.

Korean is an exception..!!

Muito bom🍀

Amazing video Beautifully presented Really motivating Oss

Fantastisch

10:55 what is the purpose of punching water?

I am a MEXICA and I do very good kung fu

I love watching these videos and the self-discipline these practitioners have. But i have a question. What good is it if your family is miserable? Don't you lose some of the essence of the practice if the people who mean the most to you resent it? Where is the balance?

real traditional kung fu Shaolin

WHY is the English volume so low on this one? The first one was perfect and easy to understand but this (and the rest I assume) I have to turn TV up half way to hear English but when the Chinese starts it's SO LOUD. This seems backwards to me since there are captions included, why would I need it to be loud where I can read esp. since I don't speak Chinese?

Under the leadership of CCP, Kung Fu Shaolin's 7,000 year old tradition will reach new heights.

If the first comment you have on every traditional video is about MMA being better and beating everything and everyone then you need psychological help.

How could i get to get trained in shaolin

You have to do it hard. You have to be poor, you have to stave, and you have to be tired. You have to be doing it everyday. Gong fu is like a religion for some people. You must do it 1st thing in the morning. Waking and modelling your body for the day.

I do understand both sides of the father and sons. The father says I don’t care who teaches you as long as it’s not me. But his sons want to learn from their father. Like DAD come on. Teach us father.

very impreseiv

Who is the Director, Producer and Cameraman?

Tuyệt voi qua

It wouldn't be better to make copies of these old documents to preserve the information? Old paper will someday crumble, especially if it is constantly manipulated to read.

I bet the farmer really does want them to practice kung fu and is not upset about any vow and this is just acting for the video.

葵花宝典有吗？☺️

Out of all the teachings one may learn here during life is that martial arts is by far the most beneficial, for it can be applied to every other aspect naturally and effortlessly. Martial arts is the fastest and most efficient way for one to learn their bodies capabilities and limitations therefore being able to become physically fit, mentally sound and spiritually balanced allowing them to express physical freedom. Which is key for one to start living up to the pleasure, potential and responsibility of femininity and masculinity at this level of body awareness one naturally actually has a self-control, discipline, loyalty, devotion, appreciation, respect, confidence and joyful determination to validate, confirm and signify that the are being true towards love honor and the creation of life. If one makes a conscious choice to live in accordance to validating love to the degree I mentioned it allows the subconscious to systematically coincide with the soul spirit mother Earth and all the various different forms of life that live within this world in the most efficient way that is humanly possible. Thus yielding the best spiritual kickback for one's efforts accomplishments experiences. Anything less is feebleminded physically inadequate and submissive subservient which it doesn't get any worse than that living and dying in that mannerism. For when one lives and dies having neglected the physical freedom they have had available all throughout their life a results in them being recognized internally and externally for all eternity throughout existence as spiritually sexually suppressed. Case closed mercy forgiveness spiritual welfare are not changing those facts protecting carrying compensating any wining souls or spirits that are freely connected to a life that does not do its best to improve upon and maintain the quality of it. You might want to take that point to Heart considering if life is not free why the hell would death be any cheaper it's not. So don't miss the deadline on becoming physically fit mentally sound spiritually balanced being able to express physical freedom. Obviously high sources of nutrition will greatly increase one's physical freedom + formal education maybe some hands-on experience with the most extreme situations nursing homes daycare centers critical care units birthing centers. Group homes, jails, prisons, Army,, Navy Marine core, special forces, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, sports and fitness facilities. Whether you believe are not as secondary to the fact that each and every moment is spiritually accounted for. Obviously if you believe in a higher power form of God goddest then you would want to serve him the best life possible. The sad truth is thanks to a diminished quality of life from coast-to-coast globally people have been living dying for the last hundred 50 years or so to a diminished quality of life resulting in the worst spiritual kickback that has ever been manifested throughout the history of mankind. This diminished quality of life is primarily do to dirty low-paying jobs that come from outdated power sources inferior materials poisonous toxic substances pesticides chemicals that never change their killing composition which means whether it is a solid liquid burnt off into our airways atmosphere as a vapor is always going to be poisonous debilitating deadly to the body. At the same time polluting corrupting devastating to mother Earth and all the various different forms of life that live within this world. There is no profit to be made in the demise of the planet even far worse is the spiritual kickback that is manifested from inhaling petrified death 24 seven drinking using contaminated water using wearing the materials that are made cheap and inferior something like corrosive to the body that's what happens when you conduct business to the lowest standards of quality which is primarily America China India. In layman's terms You cannot promote life by doing business with material, resources and substances that have been scientifically classified religiously verified as petrified death or worse which all stem from coal, oil, gas and the chemical industry. It's not all gloom and doom. For we have the man/woman power to offset maybe even fully compensate all the damage that has been caused from dirty low-paying jobs. And that is with clean high paying jobs from coast-to-coast that improve upon and maintain the quality of our air water foods landscapes working living environment every day home products habitat ecosystem plus the lifestyle I mentioned. The goal is to live in a manner that allows each persons generation to naturally and gradually become stronger smarter healthier happier better off physically mentally financially possibly spiritually then the previous generation. Sad to say even undergoes best case scenario circumstances there is still going to be a percentage of people who freely live and die having only used the smallest percentage of a fraction of the true potential of the were first born with. Now I wish and pray for my soul and spirit to be held spiritually accountable to the statements I proclaim to the way of living personally and professionally. I guarantee you never see hear another body man/ woman in power persons of legal religious authority leaders ever freely validate the statements they proclaim with that level of certainty. One reason they don't naturally instinctively have the best interest of the majority of the population's needs at Heart another reason could be they come from a breed of cowards or have a lifestyle that suggests, confirms and validates them as being absent-minded frail body. Is quite possible to be a combination of those two worst-case scenarios. For one is genetic hereditary and the other is a generic learned behavior. Either way it is physically mentally spiritually useless to freely live and die in such a low-quality manner. Especially if that ignorance, stupidity, weakness and desperation stems from being soft, lazy, out of shape, over fed, undernourished, overworked and underpaid with the dirty low-paying job. S.R.F

Many Mountain surrounded by.. Chinese proverb

Can i get any book to study this art by myself?

you have not did your teaching in failed efforts, what you did was TRUE kung fu

17:08 I got news for you old man, Xiaodong's not training kung fu but instead destroying the kung fu people lately.

I expected MMA comments. That is just Boxing meets Wrestling by another name (with a little less glam). It is a sport (SPORT), not for survival, so please go on and root for your 'side' and be on your way. That isn't quite the same thing. One who compares them, or brashly wishes the two worlds would 'face each other to see who is the toughest' needs to mature.

I want to go China learn kung fu

Would love to see if that police style baton shaolin kungfu was of any use. There has to be some reports of it being used near the Western borders or Yunnan right?

Tough these series are very convincing, I still believe in Xu Xiaodong more.

38:18 😢😢

This is a really great series and episode. Its great to see real people involved who are living their lives on a spiritual warrior path in the modern day. Its also great to see what it's like in this region of China and these master's dedication to Kung-fu in this modern day. It would really be great if they did a show on the Shaolin temple showing the evolution of the Shaolin Kung-fu styles and demonstrating them .I think Lohan style was one of the first Shaolin Kung-fu styles and then the five animal styles dragon,tiger,crane,leopard and snake etc.

Anyone knows the name of the music in 44:15?

Shaolin opens at last his door in this documentary

4km Ceunah mah kitu .., urang mah bukan!!!

Sometimes you have to apply the same thing to people associated with your own ethnicity to make people happy, else they'd think you are addressing a specific culture rather than a specific mindset. That's how smooth their brains are.

Jackie Chan and Jet Li are great combination of martial arts.

HEY! IT'S VERY GOOD!! TO KNOW, THAT THE GREAT CHINESE DISCIPLINED PUGILISTIC ARTS!! SURVIVED [MAO TSE TUNG]!!
