Wellcome Heming!!
-Nice to see you in the forum!!
Its dena

IT’S MORPHING TIME!!

I knew we had some top guys from every field in this forum but now a shaolin monk !!! wow the internet is really something, whatever happened to spending all day dedicated to martial arts, It could get quite hectic in the temple with computer terminals around I mean you know what happens whenever you try and do a search for something I think some of those pictures you could come up with would be quite controversial.

No offence intended it was just a joke but on another note. If we came to study with you at the shaolin temple what could we expect to learn ? would we learn techniques like cosmic palm ? or forms like zui quan ?

Hello, everyone,Sharky, Wongsifu and dear Dena,

firstly, let you know that I am a Chinese, who speaks un poco English…hehehe…
secondly, I am using my laptop in the temple, and I am just helping master and our temple to
get back our reputation, I am so sorry that there are so many rumors flying around… as a Shaolin
disciple, it’s my responsibility to defend our fame…since masters don’t speak English and as a monk,
they don’t quarrel with those who want to offend…so here I am!

a great dancer? the aim for kung fu training is for build up myself,to fulfill my heart with confidence.
i am learning Qi gong and traditional forms which is not looks nice but every movement has it’s usage to
beat your enemy down, you never see these by your own eyes and if you call it dance according a rumor and
post it to people, do you pay responsibility to what you claim?

Master Wongsifu, what you can learn here depends on what you have learnt, and in Shaolin there are so much to study
that’s why normal kung fu students pay 8 hours a day, 6 days a week and 11 months a year to study kung fu, and after 3 years,
they can call themselves Shaolin student, and after 10 years, they can call themselves Shaolin martial artist…

Oh, dear Dena, thanks for your good words and I am sorry I haven’t seen you much online, I am busying to organize a seminar of
Shaolin I Ching Chin (Yi Jing Jin) in Hong Kong University in July…for my master…

Okay see you all soon and keep post your message here my friends! (after think it over, hahhahha, just kidding!)

Namo Amitabha!

Wow, I feel a strange slightly inadequate feeling coming on.
I never thought I would feel that on the net.
Greetings Heming.

Hi, Sharky,
You said Wing Chun is better than any other style…you mean “Best”, huh?

In Shaolin we study different styles as well, San Shou (free style kick boxing) , traditional forms, mordern comepetition boxing, Tai Kwan Do, weapons…we choose one of them to become our profession and we can also choose others to train and experience the difference…depends on our own favor and body condition…

Master said:" Cucumber or carrot, everyone choose their own favorite."

Can you say that football if better than basketball? come on man, you must understand that it is just a way to play it…

a code suits all.
Buddha bless you!

Heming again from Shaolin Temple

Cut off the five fetters and pertaining to this shore (self-illusion, doubt, indulgence in wrongful rites and ceremonies, sense-desires and hatred), throw off the five fetters that pertain to the Further Shore (attachment to the realm of form, attachment to formless realms, conceit, restlessness and ignorance), cultivate further five faculties (confidence, energy, mindfulness, concentration and wisdom). He who has destroyed the five fetters (lust, hatred, delusion, pride and false views) is called a ``Flood Crosser’'.

Hi, Heming,

Here are some simple but burning questions:

*Are those monks capable fighters?

*Do they spar during the training?

*Are they able to use the traditional techniques in a real-fight situation?

Please don’t see this post as an offence or something, It’s just that I’m very curious to hear first-hand experiences.
I’m looking forward to your answers.
Thanks in advance!

greetings heming, no disrespect was meant from my post, i hope you do not feel in anyway insulted. i look forward to hearing your views expressed on this forum, especially as you are 100% traditional, the way that i would train if i could afford it/ knew how to.

by the dance statement, i was just jesting on the fact that people say that modern shaolin is simply modern wushu (the gymnastic from, not the all encompassing expression for martial arts). you see, in the west (and also in the east i must hasten to add) there are so many exploits of kung fu It was just a joke, ignore everything i say from now on, it’s just all to make people smile

however it would intrest me to ask you if there are any non chinese training with you, and what the opinions were about non chinese people joining the shaolin temple/practicing kung fu. other myths have been that not 100% of the system is taught to westerners etc.

i hope that you can clear these myths up for me.

yours humbly

Eddie S.

===========================================

P.S - sorry i gotta add this bit - “I am using my laptop in the temple”, hehe, brilliant stuff, made me chuckle

hi heming, again that was just a joke,as on this forum, there are often arguments (which i keep out of i may add ) about which style is best.

yours humbly

Eddie S.

Hello, Eddie,

I am not a born monk, and not yet… I am a secular disciple studying kung fu from monk master.
before I came to Shaolin Temple, I was working for an export company in the middle east.( I am 23 already by the way)So no wonder I have mobile, laptop, motor bike and digital camera equipt with me right by hand…hehe…stop laughing!

*Are those monks capable fighters?
Warrior monk’s job is protect the temple, they are also called “Monk Solider”, if they can’t fight,how can they get such a title?

*Do they spar during the training?
Yes, they do spar during the training…this makes the form movement more understandable and easy to catch.

*Are they able to use the traditional techniques in a real-fight situation?
as I said, kung fu is not dancing, some of the traditional form are for body development, some of them are only
for combatting…so yes, they use techniques like lethal point punching, Qing Na (cacthing and locking the movable part of the body)…many many fatal skills…

that modern shaolin is simply modern wushu (the gymnastic from, partially it is true…Chinese government published the rules of competetion in 1984, and after that, wushu followed the designed way but not the traditional way…
right now the situation is changing back as well…but the traditional kung fu never disappeared, it is passing down by generations in the temple…

yes, there are many foreigners coming to Shaolin Temple and train here as well, from UK, US, South Africa, Germany, France, Japan, Korea,Mexico…around 20 foreigners is following their masters now in Shaolin…
Not 100% of the system is taught to westerners? …hmm, you can say so, not 100% will be taught to those who are not Shaolin disciples…even Chinese students are the same. by the way, most of the foreigners here are just like tourist, they study kung fu for 3 month or so then they left, and come back next year…and also they can’t take the tough training as other Chinese disciples…what can I say…if you do as same as other Chinesestudents did for total 3 years, you will be superb compare with other westerners who train 4 hours a week…since you trained almost 6500 hours in these 3 years…with Shaolin masters.

Your friend, Heming

Heming, it is truly an honor to have someone like yourself on this site. I one day want to train at shaolin temple and am wondering if it would be possible for an american to become a live-in disciple or possibly even a monk? This is one of my dreams in life and a serious goal of mine.
one more question. Another goal of mine is that although my love for shaolin kung fu is second to none i also want to become a professional boxer is this against the temples beliefs and would i still be able to train at the temple while pursuing this goal?
I appreciate your time and have tremendous respect for you. Good luck in all you do and wish to achieve in life.

Dear Nick,
Thanks for your good words, it is just so nice to know all of you.
I am so happy for knowing that there are so many people have the same dream of mine, to become a
Shaolin kung fu disciple…yes, as Master De Yang said, Shaolin Temple always open it’s door to
all who wish to enter…if you wish to improve your kung fu study and Zen knowledge, welcome to come
to Shaolin Temple!

You asked that if to becoming a professional boxer is against the temple beliefs…don’t worry, Shaolin is the
Big vehicle, anyone has karma can take a ride… but in Shaolin nobody will teach you the boxing skill,
can you teach yourself?

Wish Buddha bring us together here in Shaolin Temple one day!

Heming,
I have a question that you may be able to help me with. I have studied both Xiao Hong Quan and Dah Hong Quan. Some people tell me that these are the only 2 forms in the Hong system. I have heard once though, that there are maybe 2-3 other forms. Is this true? I know that many people confuse the Hong Quan with Hong Jia so it may all be a mistake but perhaps you could clear that up for me. Thank you…
