I just enjoy watching documentaries and demonstrations about Shaolin and the monks.
I was looking at ‘Shaolin Kungfu 2000’ at Martial Arts Mart.
Any recommendations? Thanks. It doesn’t matter if it’s wushu or traditional, though I would prefer the latter.
Note: I’m not interested in how-to’s or particular forms; just demos and docs.

Shi Guolin’s “Fundamental Fist Forms” tape is great. It’s got pretty much all of the famous forms from Shaolin and a bit of history at the beginning.
For those entering the
realm of Wu with a mind
on Ch’an, the silent
smile awaits them. -

Cool thanks…
I was looking at that one too. I may pick it up on my way to kungfu class.

Shaolin Art of War - (sold as a Jet Li tape) has some pretty smart QiGong tricks on it but its a bit cheesy. Its worth a look just for the guy pulling the garden roller - if you’ve seen it you’ll know what I mean. Aiiiieeee!

shaolin.nl has got a new documentary on VCD. It is great!
This is a classic
One of the earlier documentaries - sort of like those picture books, plus you get to see a young Jet Li…

I think we’re talking about the same video Gene.
Does the one you refer to have monk Hai Teng (spelling??) doing the one-finger handstand?
Some pretty cool stuff on the video.

It’s the same Jet Li footage pretty much though, just with different other stuff. Also worth checking out is this one -

If memory serves, that has the same Jet stuff too (that Jet stuff got around, but it’s pretty cool to see him at age 18…) This last one does a little at shaolin and a lot at other places. The “army” style footage is really good.

Here’s one more- fresh off the boat from Shaolin!
This is part of our new 12 video Shaolin instructional series all shot at Shaolin. This particular title has several bonus tracks - lots of different traditional form demos.
