very impressive. It almost appeared like praying mantis style. He's very quick.

It's more than speed it's control and efficiency of movement. You start off very very slowly, like literally moving in slow motion working on balance at every stage of a defense and counter and progressively get faster and faster. I wonder how it would look in an actual fight but notice how the guy sparring with him looks jerky and off balance even before being touched.

Pretty cool, love this stuff.

I didn't see much speed. I saw a guy in a yellow shirt trying to paint an invisible wall like sissy.

IT's very beautiful. I wonder how effective it is. That's a new thought. Nobody has ever wondered how effective Shaolin martial arts is.

@rottenseed

in the beginning of MMA there were a lot of different styles including kung fu, but almost all styles had a difficulty overcoming wrestling/grappling/brazilian jujitsu. As a result, styles merged with some art and finesse being lost in the stand up stuff.
I bet it's pretty effective tho on most people.

Yeah, it's just training, but any martial art where the only mode of training is the attacker holding still is ridiculous.

And any fighting style where you're not actually hurting the opponent is worth ?? Its all just show. The comment above about the people who know being dead? Yea.

If these maneuvers were completed, pain or death would be inflicted. This is perfection not brute strength.

Ask Bruce Lee sometime if he can hurt you

I would sincerely hope not, Bruce lee has been dead for 39 years.

I'm no kung fu expert, but I like my odds vs that.

That's not really that fast. Skilful? Yes, but I doubt that is his full speed.

This is fast.

Any martial training lacking combat realism is useless OR a sport. Krav Maga teaches to never stop fighting and use any weapon. It initiates the adrenalin dump, and gets people used to being hit, even wearing protective gear.

I respect Master's dedication but the rest us won't spend decades and thousands learning how to imitate a drunken animal for a fight with an excellent chance of never taking place.

I submit: not even a martial arts "expert" can subdue more than 3 attackers at a time unless he has some kind of weapon. A guy with zero training hopped up on adrenalin and wielding a knife has an excellent to even chance of killing or severely wounding Master Squirrel.

Much as it pains me to admit it, QM is at least partially right. A very good martial artist can take down two people at once. More than that and there are just too many variables.

And yes, give some idiot a knife and the situation gets serious. It's possible to disarm them, but it's not easy and there's a very good chance of getting hurt in the process. If you come against someone who knows how to use a knife, run like hell.

That said, self defence is not the only reason to study martial arts. I have neither the desire nor the expectation of ever getting into a fight again, but it won't stop me training.

See? QM is an ok guy when he is not trolling. Sometimes even funny!
