Faggotry.

They don't need any weapons to punch a fist-sized hole in your chest

Abstinence and self control.

Some people can punch through 8 bricks

They're not building bricks mind you.

But I imagine spending your whole life training might make you better at fighting that sitting in a chair staring at a TV

During the pirate wars of the 1560s in Southern China, the Shaolin were famed for using a rattan shield and sword combo.

Modern Shaolin monks almost certainly cannot fight. They don't do training against fully-resisting opponents, and their techniques are largely theoretical as a result. They can't punch holes in your chest.

No shit, but that doesn't make anyone physically capable of punching through someone's chest cavity you fucking retarded.

>>33449236
Neat.

>>33445438

Honestly depends on when and which Shaolin temple. There were times when it was just staff and spade and times when monks wore armor, fighting with sword and halberd.

>Some people can punch through 8 bricks

Some people can punch through 8 bricks with the aid of gravity and spacers.

If you ever watch a breaking demo (I've seen many in person) they always use spacers and they're always stacked so that a downward technique is used. This is important because the primary components to a successful brick break are

1. Gravity

2. Momentum (spacers allow for the limb doing the break to encounter each brick individually with minimal loss of inertia)

>But I imagine spending your whole life training might make you better at fighting that sitting in a chair staring at a TV

I forgot to address this:

Spending your entire life training gymnastics is not necessarily going to make you better at fighting than a couch potato.

You'll have some of the building blocks of a good fighter (coordination and athleticism), but you wouldn't go from doing forms/kata to suddenly being able to fight just because you've perfected what is essentially a dance.

If you took a couch potato and taught him how to box, after about two months and without even a real conditioning program he would beat the dog shit out of someone who has done ethnic dances for 30 years.

>Don't they have gay pedo sex with each other?
Probably. Buddhism is going to have it's Catholic pedophile experience someday but it's still a while away.

>Modern Shaolin monks almost certainly cannot fight
They can, I've seen it happen. A modern shaolin monk BTFO a tourist in about 2 seconds right in front of me.

Only the moonwalk is an exaggeration, he just turned and walked away.

They have enough soft sparring that they're probably fine. I'm sure they fuck around with each other outside of class too, they're mostly kids after all.

I agree that they'd mostly be destroyed by a good boxer, aggression is kind of lacking in Kung Fu.

Being really good at any kind of art will make you good though, even if it's a stupid art. Just being focused and training hard makes you better than 90% of combatants.

fists probably

Not really, I've seen plenty of former karate kids get into fights, and the first time they get punched in the face, they just start flailing like girls or hold their face and cover up.

>>33449236
This way they can perform your funeral rites after they kill you.

No really, that's actually what the Monk's spade was for.

WU TANG SWORD STYLE

>>33453912
They were real. The idea is that you can swing it up like a flail or strike from spear range with a weapon you can fit in your pocket.

'course, it wasn't a particularly good weapon. The head wasn't heavy enough to deal with armor and the entire thing was blunt. The real appeal was how easy it was to hide and store.
