Maybe he's jewish and fights Nazis?

you spelled Shaolin wrong in your title.

There are two arguments Being made here.

1. The source of the video is from Asia.

:The video was made by a Japanese person with his/her own personal camera (according to the description of the original upload description), in their local habitat (possibly in Japan, judging from the Japanese TV show sounds at the end of the video).

vs

2. The content of the video has no relevance to Asian culture or environment.

:The image being shown on the video shows little to no representation of Asian culture. It may as well be a 40 year old cross-dressing clown's living room in middle of Indiana for all we know. There is barely any reference to Asian culture or of its characteristics except for the vague presence of Asian television in the background.

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

[The description of the *'Asia channel on VideoSift as of August/8/2011: "This channel is dedicated to the ancient cultures and traditions of Eastern Asia, particularly China and Japan, that began thousands of years ago and continue to this very day only slightly if at all affected by the modern world. It covers everything from period Shaolin martial arts videos in China to wacky reality Japanese shows of today."]


This is a video of a puppy being cute. I liked the video as a cute, catsanddogs video, that's why I upvoted it. There was some WTF-ness to the situation as well, but you're also stretching it a bit at this point. Putting this video in the Asia channel does not add anything to that channel's general content, because this video simply doesn't contain enough Asian characteristics.

In fact, this video is far more qualified to be in the 'music' channel than the Asia channel.

I guess its called Shaolin Kickers.. how original

i saw that life once in a show called "masters of shaolin kung fu" touring europe. It was the highlight of the show, pretty impressive when seen live (there was a ballon behind the glass back then). It took a lot of tries, he tried it on several occasions during the show because allegedly it was such a difficult thing to do. the slomo clip takes away the "wow" effect somehow.

All I can say is if there ever was a video that needed 1080p, this might be it.


I was kind of wishing they had shown it in real time first.... Do you think baseball teams are scouting him now?

>> ^JAPR:

That was about five times longer than necessary.


Yeah, I let it spool up and then started at 1:10 and that was about right.

Choppers shaolin style.
