Is this video real? how come no one else does this?

in youtube type in shaolin kung fu vs. karate. Scroll down until you find "VERY RARE FIGHT SHAOLIN KUNG FU VS. KARATE". are they masters? I don't see anyone do this in every sparring match.tnx

Is this video real? how come no one else does this?
Its not that tight.
Reply:anything is possible

Reply:Yes it was "real" but it was staged, watch the "monk" duck the round house before it even happens.
Reply:I don't see a link to the video. I'd like to see it if you could provide 1.
Reply:I believe this "fight" was more a demonstration than anything else. It's unusual to have masters of two different arts spar. The moves they were performing, both offensive and defensive, were real.





Just realise that if it had been anymore than a demonstration, it would have been a lot faster and seemed even more unrealistic.





This is my opinion based on the obeservation of the video and my own practices in martial arts.
Reply:it is fake but i study shaolin kung fu and i wouldnt doubt that that is possible

Taking another man with me to China, NOT my fiance?

Background Info: I'm 22 %26amp; studying world history in college. I'm planning on going on a short trip to China next Spring Break, something I've wanted to do for YEARS now. My close friend Daniel is a teacher at a martial arts/kung fu school, and would LOVE the opportunity to go to Hong Kong and visit the Shaolin temple, since he studies under a Grand Master who studied at Shaolin.





I want to take my friend Daniel to China with me. It just makes sense.





My fiance is jealous and says that taking another man to another country with me is crossing the line.





Fiance is an ex-Marine who has been to many difference countries and I haven't, and I'm a world history major. Of course I would take HIM with me to China, but he has no deep interest in it. Daniel on the other hand DOES, it's his dream.I would rather travel to a country with someone that's going to enjoy it as much as I do, not have someone "tagging along", just because. If that's the case, I'd rather just go by myself. What to do? :(

Taking another man with me to China, NOT my fiance?
tell your fiancee that daniel is going with you, and if he cant trust you , then you shouldnt be getting married in the first place. tell him, that you trust him, he could of picked up hookers in those countries and other stuff, make him feel guilty, tell him, you completely love him, and daniel has been there for you for ever.....
Reply:Well your NOT going to have this fiancee TOO much longer if he finds out..
Reply:Dump the boyfriend he will control you more when you get married. You must visit the cable car when you travel to the temple and of course Disney one will do it since the queues are not like usa.
Reply:If you are engaged, you should not be traveling to China for a period of time with another man, even if he is your friend. Your fiancee has a right to object, and I think you are putting your relationship with him in jeopardy if you go with Daniel.

Reply:dont get canned
Reply:Sounds complicated. I may not have an answer but I do have a story. I went on a European vacation with a good friend's girl friend, the friend isn't the jealous type so there was no problem there. The problem was that the sexual tension between us made it really hard on me. I found myself wanting her more and more. We spent a night in Paris and it was the most romantic night imaginable. But I stayed strong and I resisted the urge to make a move. Jealousy is a horrible thing!
Reply:I can understand why your fiance wouldn't like it...


but I can also understand your situation and how you want to go with your friend since you both have similar interests.





I think your fiance should really trust you on this one. Even though it's not the best time to go on this trip since you're engaged, go on if you really want to.


NEED HELP FROM ALL MARTIAL ARTISTs!!! PLEASE!!!?

Okay, heres the deal- for the past 8 years [im 13 years old] I have taken Ju-Jitsu, Shaolin Kempo, and now Shaolin Kung Fu.


My problem is none of them are clicking, if you can understand. I dont feel like theyre the right style for me. I am fond of Japenese styles, but dont know which one to take. Around here I have the 3 I have mentioned, Tai Kwon Do, and some others that i dont know what style they are. For an art I would like a both lower and upper body techniques. Also preferably one with sparring, and maybe weapons.

NEED HELP FROM ALL MARTIAL ARTISTs!!! PLEASE!!!?
hey,


for 13 u sound very committed - well done.


I started karate when i was 5 - uechi-ryu - its a okinawan karate. i got my black belt at 12 and then i won the world championships in okinawa when i was 19, but then i wanted something different.


I strongly recommend KENPO....not kempo...KENPO. if you watch the movie "the perfect weapon" with Jeff Speakman - thats the style. I started it and have stopped. At 16 i also started Muay Thai...and went on to fight professional.


Its important that you keep your body and mind satisfied with what your doing. Dont do too many because you wont be "the best" at any of them.


keep keen - but give kenpo a go.
Reply:The arts that you previously studied are great arts. the problem may be your instructors or the school. All arts have something good to offer, it depends on the wilingness of the student to learn. Report It

Reply:I doubt that there's one school of martial arts out there that is absolutely perfect for you.





Jeet Kun Do is Bruce Lee's fighting system. He crafted his own fighting style from the best of other systems. Read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeet_Kune_D... . This sounds like a good answer for you.
Reply:I have always preferred grappling, it requires the coordination and strength of your total body. What better way to match your skills against another person of equal size. Join your local wrestling team, you will find rich rewards for many years.
Reply:Look into hapkido
Reply:So you know Shaolin Kung Fu ,Ju-Jitsu,Shaolin Kempo, don't lose your time for Tai Kwon Do Do the same as I do....I also know Shaolin Kung Fu Shaolin Kempo and Tai Kwon Do but i don't know Ju-Jutsu.


To do the same as I do Mix those 3 kind of fighting to create new moves or start learning "Parkur Fighting"....


I used those 3 styles to jump on walls or trees and fight (but if u do that be careful i brocke my arm one time ;D).


Doing that i feel super fighting in air flowing bettwen tree nad wall.....


Don't loose your time do something new .... mabey you will be teaching this new Jutsu some people later ;D
Reply:This is the most ancient and still alive form of martial art. I am sure this will satisfy you.

You may try to find kalarippayatt (also typed as kalari payat) masters in USA
Reply:I think you should take kick boxing next. It will go good with your ju jitsu to make you an overall fighter
Reply:I'd recommend Okinawan or Japanese Karate. Most places will also teach the weapons, kobudo.





At 13, I don't think you have really clicked with a style yet. I know what you mean, I've seen it in my students. They show up and go through the moves and are sometimes quite proficient. But they don't 'click.' I don't know how to describe it, but you see it in practitioners. My Sensei saw it in me immediately, but then, I started when I was 42.





And then suddenly the light goes on. I wish I knew how to make it happen for my students, but I always know when it does. I've seen it click for some 4 year olds. I've seen 16 year olds that haven't had it click yet.





Good luck! And be patient. You will find the right one.
Reply:At your age, you should probably concentrate on 1 style. Trying to learn 3 is bound to be confusing. I don't reccomend concentrating on weapons. Almost all arts include sparring %26amp; work upper %26amp; lower bodies. What is most important is finding the right school with the right instructor for you.
Reply:Here are some styles you may want to look at .


CHA-3 Kenpo


Kajukenbo


San Shou


Kali / Escrima / Arnis


Shotokan


Wing Chun


Western Boxing
Reply:For weapons, try Kendo. You don't really kick or anythng with it and it focuses on swords. You need upper body strength, especially in the arms, and the feet are used for balance mainly, unless you want tocombine different techniques with kendo then you can also use your feet. There is also sparring.
Reply:Well first you need to ask what the Nationality of the disciplines are for the ones that you don't know about. just call them up and ask if theirs is a Japanese discipline or not, if it is, go check it out to see if you like the class.





as for which discipline to take, if you find one that is a Japanese discipline you just need to see if they have a week's worth of trial classes you can take to see if you like the class.





most any Martial Arts discipline is gonna have an upper and lower body technique otherwise it would be a one dimensional fighting discipline like Western Boxing just learning how to throw effective punching strikes, and most any discipline is going to have sparring so that you can learn your timing and control, otherwise your not learning anything really.





and lastly, you shouldn't worry about weapons training, unless you plan on entering tournament circuits for creative weapons forms, because it's not a necessary aspect to learn.
Reply:I would seriously advice you to look in to Aikido or Jeet Kune Do
Reply:I'm a student in a form of jkd called the progressive fighting system. it doesn't only teach jkd but it incorporates Filipino styles such as Calli and eskrema. its not real flashy because its all about street fighting. the sparing, the weapons training, and ground fighting iv learned in pfs is great. you can learn more about pfs at fighting.net. its a lil expensive but its worth every penny.
Reply:Tae Kwon Do should be good for you. It's mainly kicks I must admit, but there's plenty of opportunity to get upper body techniques in there. They deal with weapons on occasion, depending on the school and they do a LOT of sparring. Plus, it's an Olympic sport and there are many competitions held all around the country (if you're into that sort of thing... that was my favorite part!)





P.S. you have great grammatical skills for a 13 y.o. impressive!
Reply:i take american karate and its a style derived from japanese, korean, and texas style boxing styles. it has weapons, sparring, hand techniques, leg techniques, arm locks, pressure points, and take downs. i really enjoy this style and maybe you would too. this is NAAMA karate schools. North American Alliance of Martial Arts and this is founded only in michigan that i know of. so i would suggest trying an american style or MMA. Good luck.
Reply:wow, at 13 you are an awesome fighter. but you should expand your preferances, not only to japanese, i was more partial to chinese style, then i started judo, it was differant, but it offered differant advantages over chinese and the chinese styles offer advantages over the japnese, so hang in there im 15 so i can relate to your problem.
Reply:upper and lower body work with sparring, sounds to me like you'd like kickboxing, muay Thai, san shou(chinese boxing) or even jeet kune do.. however there aren't many weapons involved in these arts..





most places will let you try out the class for free once, i'd recommend doing that and seeing if it feels like what you're looking for..





hope this helps!





~*good luck*~
Reply:JIU JITSU IS DA BEST !!.. BUT IF U WANNA TRAIN OR BE PREPARE FOR A REAL FIGHT THEN U HAV TO MIX IT WIT A LIL BIT OF BOXIN, THAI AND JUDO... WRESTLIN SUCKS U HAV TO USE A LOT OF STRENGHT BUT JIU JITSU THROWIN TECHNIQUES OR JUDO U HAV TO USE UR BRAIN TO TAKE UR OPPONENT DOWN
Reply:In the long run you will benefit more from a good school than a good style. The quality and frequency of your training is far more important than the style you train in.


MAY i HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE ?

a)how many hours of training do you suggest to become as good as a shaolin monk in fighting andb) by the way can one defeat a shaolin monk with strength ?

MAY i HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE ?
what???
Reply:go to a temple and start training cuz it might take as long as 3 years or more.
Reply:I don't know how many hours of trainig you need but i think that you need many hours to become that good.I like that shaolin monks.They are very interesting.huummmmm.....If i can only fight like them too.......dreaming... :D








Good luck in training!Don't give up:)

What do you think the next Mortal Kombat will be?

I expect the next Mortal Kombat game to be something like: Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks 2.





This time, The 2 Shaolin Monks go on a journey through the days of Mortal Kombat 3. I would expect them to meet Sheeva, Sindel, fight Shang Tsung again, and see Cyrax, Sektor, and Nightwolf, along with Stryker.

What do you think the next Mortal Kombat will be?

Hopefully the next mortal kombat will be like #4 and just be called MK5. and hopefully the fatalities will be better.
Reply:I expect it to be lame, just like all the others after the first 3.

If your fiancee did this, would it be crossing the line?

Background Info: I'm 22 %26amp; studying world history in college. I'm planning on going on a short trip to China next Spring Break, something I've wanted to do for YEARS now. My close friend Daniel is a teacher at a martial arts/kung fu school, and would LOVE the opportunity to go to Hong Kong and visit the Shaolin temple, since he studies under a Grand Master who studied at Shaolin.





I want to take my friend Daniel to China with me. It just makes sense.





My fiance is jealous and says that taking another man to another country with me is crossing the line. We both have a history of cheating in our 7 year relationship that we've worked really hard to overcome, but how can we ever really trust each other if the first time it's tested is "crossing the line"?





Fiance is an ex-Marine who has been to many difference countries and I haven't, and I'm a world history major. Of course I would take HIM with me to China, but he has no deep interest in it. Daniel on the other hand DOES, it's his dream.

If your fiancee did this, would it be crossing the line?
If there is so much past infidelity in your relationship then taking another man on this trip could quite possibly be crossing the line and could be the end of the relationship. The insecurity of those past indiscretions hasnt passed for him. How would you feel if he jetted across the world with some other chick... just as friends? Logically I think you are right... if he isn't interested then why not take Daniel?!?! However love isnt logical very often. He isnt comfortable with Daniel going so Daniel should stay home. Otherwise, you may lose him.


Just remember if the trust isnt there then losing him may not be a horrible thing. You may want to consider your decision on this matter as a sign on how much you value this relationship.
Reply:Although I can see your point of view it would hurt my feelings if I am not interested in a country but my fiance took another women to a country to fulfill her dreams? if that is the case why would he be marrying me you need to listen and respect your fiance wishes Daniel can go to China on his own time and his own expense and you can go to China on your own make your fiance dreams come true once you start making people dreams more important then the one your going to marry sorry but the marriage will be doomed from the start





Love the not so bitter Jaded Divorce' who left her husband when he took his Secretary to the Bahamas and not me LOL
Reply:Your history is the key.





You say you've worked hard to overcome the history, well that work never ends, Part of that hard work would be to forego the opportunity of bringing Daniel.. It makes no sense to take Daniel if you are commited to that work.





If it's his dream, Daniel can go anytime if he can afford it.





Your fiance may not have any deep interrest in China, but he dosen't have to have a deep interest in China to have interest in going there with you. (Even if it's just because you want him to.)
Reply:This really doesn't sound like a good idea. It does. however, sound like you're anxious to get the teacher out of the country. I think you should let Daniel dream on, unless you're willing to lose one of the "few and proud."
Reply:I definitely would NOT take another man. Only asking for trouble!

Reply:maybe
Reply:I don't think you could become as good as a Shaolin monk in any certain number of hours, it would take years. Are you taking Kung Fu classes right now? You could probably defeat a Shaolin monk with strength, it just might be harder to do...they're not supernatural, so of course they can be defeated.
