What I mean is; Is modern Shaolin martial arts real in regards to combat effeciency and modern day demands of combat profeciency?
How much of ‘traditional shaolin’ combat martial arts are involved in shaolin sanda programs?
How much combat training is recieved at shaolin, in regards to pressure testing, and live fighting goes?
Has Shaolin Gong Fu gone the way of the unrealistic practices, untested technique (properly tested), and entered, primarily, into the realm of contemporary wushu?
I know there are always going to be people who hold true to martial training and work towards the goal of combat applicability, and vise versa. But where does the majority lie?
A physics professor at the Uni by my house used audience volunteers to do many of the “skills” you typically see in Shaolin demos. Like the bed of nails sledge hammer brick thing and all that. It was refreshing to see a clearly unhealthy fat guy chosen randomly do these iron “skills”.
And before you ask, Lucas, no… he did not kick any volunteers in the nutts!!! and it was just a normal sledge hammer. Sadly, Thor never showed!
That’s not real gongfu. That is Wushu. His master is Cai Shen and he takes his orders from the PRC.
Real Shaolin has not existed since 1779. All the monks were killed and the story of the survivors is a PRC fable. My great great granduncle wrote about this in his diary that has been passed down through the family.
If Shaolin was real, you would not have to pay for it. Do Shaolin masters take money for teaching? Yes. Therefore, you are wrong.
