Hai Deng Fa Shi means “Buddhist Teacher Hai Deng” and is the name of the late(i think) abbot of the Shaolin Temple, there is a documentary on him by Tai Seng video called “Abbot Hai Teng of Shaolin”.
Hai Deng is his Buddhist name, and fa shi is his title.
I didn’t know your master went to China. Are you talking about Shergold?
Nooooooo
hehe no not Shergold… Yannick Benoit! Good wushu teacher 
Btw Tell nick ren said hi

Peace!

I think I’ve seen your Quebecois Master’s website before.
Apparently Hai Deng only had 3 close students. Fang Yin Lin and Li Xing You, and a third one who just specialized in qigong.
What exactly do you know about this school?
I know that Hai Deng was at Ermei and Shaolin temples before the Communist Revolution, and that he returned to Shaolin in the 1980’s, but I was also told that he was posted to many other temples, and had his own personal one. I’m not sure of the name, location, or any other details. Maybe it has turned into a “tiyu” temple like modern Shaolin

One finger handstand vid
Something doesn’t look right about this vid. The way it just cuts to him doing it (against a wall). I mean I’m kinda skeptical, but something is fishy about this, yeah? Something doesn’t look right.
Why is it that these kinds of videos it often say something along the lines of “This guy is the only one in the world who can do this.”? :rolleyes:
yeah, that was not that good of a cutting job when they cut to him doing the fingerstand. I found this clip on the same page much more enjoyable:D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6f0tFPMfLE&NR
in my years I ran across and studied under a man named ting fong wong from canton china. He had incredible strength. He could drill his finger up to eh first knucle into a brick and bent a parking sign out in front of the kwoon one day from a horse stance.
His finger strength excersizes consisted of many things such as fingertip push ups, clawing and hand stands against a wall using the finger tips. In forty years he could do them using his 2 index fingers.
He was told that there was a master in hong kong who could use only one but was very very skeptical.
The difference was he would do a hand stand, then go up the finger tips then onto a tripod with the thumb, index and middle fingers then eventually onto just the index.
So what is missing in the video that makes it a FAKE is that it doesnt show the process on how he got to the single digit stance. I saw a vidoe of a guy sitting on his morotcylce on the ceiling. well you could figure out that the room and furniture was nailed upside down and the camera was up side down. This could be the same thing but its definaly a trick or he would be proud to show off this incredible skill frame by frame.
!
Who cares how he got there, the very fact that he CAN hold with only one finger it is pretty impressive
It’s been said that this video was faked.
I think Hai deng did have this skill though.
Royal D you missed the point. He cannot be credited with holding the pose if he cannot prove how he got there.
His legs could be crossed becuse he is hiding the hook that is holding him up..
I have a photo of Hai Deng in his younger days doing the 2 finger version of same.
He had teh skill. But I think that for the purpose of the movie as shown in the clip, it was faked for whatever reason. asthetics? I have no idea.
dunno… the guy’s index joints sure look like they’ve been under a lot of pressure a lot of times.
He was leaning pretty heavy against the wall, which shaves a little weight off, but it sure looks like think he was bearing the remainder of his weight on that finger.
