Shaolin monks performing fingerstands

submitted by reiwan

1 decade 5 years 1 month 1 week ago

a clip of two shaolin monks balancing and then performing a fingerstand (a hand stand using only their fingers). The first monk performs it using one finger from each hand, and the second using two fingers from each. An amazing show of strength and focus.

I can't wait to meet one of these guys so I can fuck them up.

If they think its annyhting other than natural science then they are dip shits

"zen" meditation

Im pretty sure that Meditation is meditation and that although meditating might help steady nerverse , tense muscles ,remove pain and allow them to recover quickly, its the repetitive training that really enables them to do all there stunts.

Its actually quite sad if they believe its magic what happens , what if some of them are dedicating there whole lives to this under a false belief that they will gain magical powers.

The problem is they're not really monks anymore, they're just a group of chinese acrobats sponsored by the government and sent to do shows around the world. The spiritual underpinning is gone, eaten by Mao.

"the second"? looks to me as if it was the same guy

Westy puts as much thought and care into his arguments as he does his spelling.
