Average Day at Northern Shao Lin Monastery

submitted by chingalera

1 decade 1 year 5 months 1 week ago

Shaolin motto: "Hardness first and softness second."

These excerpts are from Joseph Kuo's 1974 film, "Shao Lin Gong Fu" which marked the first time cameras were allowed in to document daily practices at the monastery.

Nah, he's just subduing her..It would take a helluva wrench to break that cow's neck, even if that monk was trying to! That cow's head is being held down on the ground and she's using massive force against him to try and get back up. If you perfect this practice demonstrated like this guy has then you are ready to hold a 350lb warrior to the ground with yer frikkin' elbow while yer other powerful arm is free to roam the soft tissue!!
