i just saw this guy, is he for real? i mean im not to imprest with his martial arts.. how the hell he ended up teaching these guys..
Yeah, and you gotta question the ethics of a guy that’s willing to teach kung fu to a bunch of rapers.
Well rappers (not rapers) are people, too. Why shouldn’t they be taught kung fu?
no i dont mind him teaching.. i just wanna know if hes legit.. i mean hes soposed to be a monk.. is he a renegade monk or sumtin?
Rapers = people who rape. Ope mispelled “rappers” with only one p. It was a joke. And you ruined it. Thanks alot.
The guy’s name is Shi Yanming. He’s somehow associated with the shaolin temple. I think he’s mostly modern wushu, not really a fighter.
yes i forgot to put in the p.. i meant rappers..

Monks Like money too. I know it’s a horrible thought but it’s true.

I dont know if you can say Shi Yan Ming is not a figher, he trains San Shou wich makes him a fighter. Maybe not a tradicional kf fighter, but still a fighter.

you sure its not wushu? 
cause i saw him doin some crappy stuff.. but then again it wasnt much cant judge a book by its cover.. or unless you go in the ring in this case..
I belive he does Wu Shu + San Shou + maybe some tradicional forms.

I didn’t know he did san shou. I don’t really know anything about him.
I have trained with Shi Yan Ming and I don’t mean to sound defensive. Master Ming is a real bonified Shaolin warrior monk who has won numerous temple awards. As far as his training he teaches traditional Shaolin wushu, the reason the drills he does look so foofooy is for strengthening, flexibility, balance, coordination, and agility. Why doesn’t he act like a monk? There is more to being a shaolin monk than chanting and eating rice all day. Yes he has rapper student/friends, yes he drinks bottled water, yes his school brings in alot of money, but he’s still a monk. You probably won’t catch him eating meat none of us have, he still teaches buddism and goes to temple, he’s compationit outside of training and hard core during class.
from what the teachers personal history is i wouldnt wipe my ass with him , the guy defected from the rest of the "shaolin monks " when they had their first a wushu demo in the usa, you know the one they do every year nowadays , they do one in britain also called the wheel of life where they break bricks on their gonads and stuff :eek:
its bad enough the guy has defected but the last picture i saw with him the guy is wearing rapper style clothing with 3 beotches around him and waving a wad of cash … um yeah a chinese version of ALI G for fucks sake…
ope i’d really liek to see why youre not impressed with his kung fu … what demo did you se ???

Rappers are famous for their humility, and service to mankind. Why shouldn’t they hang out with a Monk ™. :rolleyes:

For some reason I bought their video “Da mystery of Kung Fu” a while ago. It is complete sh!t. Inaudible commentary being almost a saving grace. I intend to throw it out in my clearout this week.

first of all, wu tang clan doesnt train with shi yan ming. Only a couple of it’s members do, i think rza and ghost. and rza only does internal training now.
The wu tang clan and associates are some of the best musicians of our time. If you listen to their music consistantly, you will know that. They rap about humility, compasion, knowledge wisdom and understanding, etc. There is no reason to look down at shi yan ming for being friends with them.
but anyway, shi yan ming is definetely not a joke. This guy is for real. He used to do seminars at our school and he was amazing. I have never seen kicks that fast in my life. He could literally kill somebody with one kick. How can you doubt the monks when they train 8hrs a day, everyday, and you train maybe 8hrs a week.

i dont doubt the mans ability as a martial artist i just think that he is a good example of what not to be , he loves his money his beotches his fame and he defected from the people, hmmm now that is somebody who shows us what martial arts is all about .
I read an interview with the rza and apparently he sounds like a nice guy when he was talking about when he went back to china to visit the temple etc etc…
About wu tag clan being some of the bests muscicians of our time , i beg to differ, THey are good but nowhere near the best.
I must admit i love their original 36 chambers album…

“he defected from the people”
Most of the Chinese Sifu in the U.S. did the same thing. Who would want to live under the Government of the PRC.
I trained with Yan Ming for a while and served on his traveling demo/fighting team.
Yes, he does do a lot of wushu and he’s quite good at it…and yes he teaches free sparring which can be used for San Shou…and yes he eats red meat drinks alchohol…and yes he is financially successful…and he really is incredible strong and fast. Although I would not recommend studying with him, there is no doubt in my mind that he has a hell of a lot of chi and is a great martial artist in his own way.
I detailed some of my experinces with him in the Shaolin Kung Fu forum if anyone is interested.

i saw him as a guest on a show and he was asked to demonstrate his ability and some of his kungfu.. it looked like a bunch of wushu over exgrated kicks etc.. i guess he was nervous or overly excited cause he tryed to do a double front kick and failed miseribly.. i know we are all human and we make mistakes and i dont have any doubts about his ability im sure hes a great athlete but i was wondering if hes much of a fighter.. and yes i also heard he eats red meats and drinks alcohol..i was just curious because usualy monks that act this way were kicked out of the monastery and are not allowed to come back..
