No way! Can't wait for this fight, a Reece McLaren fight is one of the few I get excited for in MMA nowadays.
⭐🐼🐾😸💫💫💫💫
Yes sure
may i know any link streaming to watch this fight ? please share

Damn, when your life is literally a Street Fighter characters backstory.
Yes!!
🤣
Mortal Kombat
This Xie Wie makes great fighters looks like a karate white belt.
Yessssss
I love how he keeps good form on every strike even when he’s getting hit.
dude is a solid brick wall all through every tendon and has great balance plus hes used to getting beat up with wooden sticks and metal pole as well as iron body conditioning to make him never phased as anyones landed hits
Shaolin training. They hit your head with 4x4 planks and see if you go down.
@@dayd7420 agree. i think body conditioning is kinda underrated. some fighters think that having a lot of skills and experience is enough but truth is they lack body conditioning. blocking and evading is not enough.
And he hits with a purpose. Like he wants to hurt them. Love it
This monk has steel jacket Which means strikes will literally bounce off him So he's able to stay in range to execute offensive skills he also has internal force..
His ability to slip punches and kicks, while never losing ground, and the speed of his counters are top notch.
This is the real definition of "I can do this all day." Man has infinite stamina!
that shaolin conditioning really pays off
Yeah and I've noticed the no staggering after he does those high kicks, like he seems so used to being that flexible.
This man sees the fight in slow motion. His ability to slip in combos past his opponent’s guard, and block and counter is truly something to behold.
He uses the force of their strikes against his blocks to charge the next punch, it's awesome.
true some people have gift like that...my friend was a member of muay thai team he really can dodge strike and he said to me its like on slow just like in the toby spiderman the part where the bully tried to hit him
It's like he's fighting 1 minute into the future.
And he got tapped out by a jiu jitsu guy in the first round. Maybe he needs to practice more and get to super slow motion?
He's gonna see everything in slow motion when a wrestler renders him helpless on the canvas and either submits him,bests him silly, or the ref stops it.
I can definitely see the influence of the Shaolin Iron Shirt technique/practice. He slips and moves laterally to an extent, but mostly he just marches right through blows so he can land his own. What a Unit. "Oh, you kick my liver? Master hit my liver every day for years"
Lol you watch too much anime and movies, you liver doesn’t get stronger by beating on it, this is not a movie. And he’s fighting child sized men, they are 125lbs, most fighters at that weight walk through punches if they don’t fight someone who hits really hard. Iron shirt technique??? 😂
@@bojanm33 looks like we’ve got ourselves a REAL MAN right here, stand to attention everybody
@@bojanm33 Yeah you're right he's fighting small guys.......when he's the same size. And I'm pretty sure they can still hit hard lmfao, otherwise they wouldn't be fighters
@@quill7889 My point, which seems to have gone over your head, was that you're not gonna see people walk through punches at heavier weight classes the way you see people do it at 125 lbs. That has a lot more to do with it then whatever the fuck "iron shirt technique" is
@@bojanm33 it's a technique where you mine for iron ores and smelt some iron bars. Then you hammer it into an iron shirt. 👊🏼💪🏼
He definitely has pieces of Shaolin martial arts in his style but I think the one piece of those martial arts that many find useless in MMA is not in technique, but in work ethic, ideology, and toughness. He brings loads of that to the table.
This is a similar philosophy to the gym Israel Adesanya trains at.
Real Kungfu has incredible work ethic you train hours everyday. What most people learn and call Kungfu does not have much. In fact Kungfu actually Gongfu means hard work.
@@davidmartinez9804 Right on the spot. Demonstrations just show how skillful they could be. Kung Fu is too diverse for its long history and purpose. There are also exaggerations and misconceptions, but there are also equal amount of real deal stuffs for fighting. Kung Fu alone will not win MMA battles, MMA skills are needed.
What are you talking about? Traditional Kung fu is famous for ridiculously brutal conditioning.
@@daniellosh8341 same as most other martial arts
He's very technical. Keeps his body in the correct position at all times. Great balance too. Excellent striker. Bad little dude.
This guys cardio is insane. How does anyone go with that intensity non stop?? Excited to see him in future
When you see how shaolin do cardio and strengthening their body everyday..Entering the ring of MMA with that behind you is a certain win. He probably dosent feal the hits he get from his opponents
As Shaolin Monks, they got 2 Basics Endurance to learn: Protection of Golden Bell and Iron Shirt. These Endurance Skills keep their stamina to highest while take lots of punishment from his opponents.
he is also lightweight. thats why. if he was heavier he would tire out quickly
@@Darktitanium159 So are his opponents...he's not fighting heavy weights.
@@archangel7052 the question was why does he have so much energy. my answer is that first of all , his build is light. he is shorter than some of his opponents , more lean and he has trained in shaolin which have very intense training regimes. if he was heaveir , he wouldnt be able to continue the fights for so long with so much energy. thats all i wanted to say
The fact that Kim was able to survive that onslaught for so long is incredibly impressive, the dude is a tank
The ref should have called that fight so many times that was ridiculous
@@keithrichards5688 the fighter didn't give up though? Refs not gonna risk an early stoppage and get berated for it.
@@kami_1789 fighters don't give up lots of times when there getting there faces bashed in that's what the ref is for to stop it b4 the prideful animal gets himself brain damage
Who says shaolin monks cannot beat an MMA fighter?!!!
@@keithrichards5688 Like half way in the fight Kim wasnt even trying to connect he was jus trying to survive
2:39 his reaction is insanely fast😮
Not just the reaction, the amount of power he generates is a lot more than most of his opponents the only reason why you don't see Shaolin Monks fight more often is because a lot of them train at the Shaolin Temple for decades, or even until they get old, or when they are old, and their training isn't as peacefull as MMA fighters their training this isn't like regular jujitsu this is relentless training for over 10 hours in comparison most martial arts are a joke.
@@leagueaddict8357 there is nothing mysterious about the shaolin temple. The shaolin temples have mordern martial arts training now such as Sanda(chinese kickboxing). The current leader of the shaolin temple, 釋永信, has always been trying to make it secular
@@artofninelimbs5930 Wrong.
@@leagueaddict8357 sounds like you have been drinking ayahuasca. Chinese fighters arent winning because of some voodoo craps
@@artofninelimbs5930 ArtOfAlwaysBeingWrong should be your name
He only started training at 16 and spent 4 (four) years in a Shaolin temple, so imagine those who start training like crazy from a very young age for decades. It beats me why none of the best of them actually go out of these temples and become professional fighters, they would do extremely well. Their bodies would be hard as rock, literally, and they must be extremely fast and deadly.
Yeah, so the stories we all see about them (Shaolins) are so true
@@aloismburu9230 , not stories, but common sense. The best pianists are AWAYS those who train from a very young age. As when your so young your fingers, etc can adapt much much better. The only explanation I can think of is that theres always rules in any martial arts competions. Take boxing, you're only allowed to punch, and you have to wear gloves and you cant punch below the belt, etc. Even MMA you cant stomp on your opponents head, you cant bite , cant kick the groin, cant poke the eyes, etc. Even just one single rule can change the results dramatically. Thats why in real no holds barred fights, a very good proffesional fighter can be beaten by a nobody who's enranged and just wants to kill.
i bet the top monks are so dedicated they wouldn’t think of doing mma
It is against their culture to engage in MMA. You aren't suppose to do compete they will like disown you for doing so.
Except some of the best boxers and MMA fighters started late in their 20's and 30's even in some cases@@edwardsantosa644
The Shaolin monks were common lore during my days as an American karate practitioner. We were told that the monks had to perform unimaginable tasks and undergo training methods that sounded, frankly, undoable or superhuman. It’s great to see an actual Shaolin monk doing so well on such an enormous stage.
No matter what master you are , you must learn how to box
@Hujj Wielkij I wouldn't say useless since he ain't doing half bad
And he started his Shaolin training at age 16 (idk what training he had prior). The monk fighters who started their training at age 5 would be insanely good
They also had no respect for American Karate .they hate the fact that Kung Fu has spread to America & other lands
It’s wide spread that gong fu and shaolin monks were banned from mma for a long time
this dude has unbelievable timing with his strikes.
He sure does. I don't think I've seen a fighter do spinning back kicks so fast, accurate, and from such close range. Just one example at 5:00, deadly. glad this vid came up on my feed
From my observation his body is a weapon, that moves as one unit, it's not a separate series of punches and kicks but flows continuously, it's beautiful to watch tbh
His opponents needed to work on their boxing skills.
Good speed, accuracy, too
Did you read the part where he’s a Shaolin monk?
I have seen this guy fights -- he is just tiredless person,never out of the breathe and focus and always throwing hard punches and legs
Incredible stamina and so much power I know as a shaolin monk they are teaching you to basically not only make your body tougher but also how to understand kinesiology in a way you can throw all of your power to a single point while using no wasted energy, that's why he fight like a damn brick
The thing I notice about Shaolin fighters is that they have techniques that are also extremely tempo efficient in the fight, things like moving exactly as much and only as you need to avoid the opponent's punch while throwing your own. I think Shaolin martial arts are probably underrated because there aren't many people who are actually so good at fighting that they can execute the style at that level anymore because they're not being attacked. But when someone is diligent and can actually incorporate those techniques, they seem to work out really well.
The man is built like a tank. He takes every hit without taking damage and every strike he makes is loud and thunderous. It has to be his shaolin training that built a body like that which is what makes him so great at fighting. His opponents might be the same size and weight but they are at a disadvantage physically. Like you saw at one point the other guy tried to push the shoalin and instead of the shaolin moving he was moved back.
Damn he has to be one of the most accurate strikers I've ever seen. You can literally see his opponents completely broken down by his overwhelming strikes. I even said to myself in the 2nd to last fight that the dude was going to give up, and I was right lol. If he keeps this up he'll be a huge name.
This monk has steel jacket Which means strikes will literally bounce off him So he's able to stay in range to execute offensive skills he also has internal force..
@@jefferson8215 This guy has some serious potential to become a really big star.
He take some body shot but he goes straight for the accurate punches to the opponent’s head. This guy is tough and hits hard !
I see quite a bit of Petr Yan stylistically
@@jiaxinxu6845 I kinda understand what you mean there
You are able to see how consistent he is, every round he is delivering almost the same precision and technique. Seems like being a monk is almost like hacking your body to never feel tired hahaha
Hahaha wasn't necessary
@@ionnicoara6657 so is yours
Shaolin monk training produces some of the quickest, most flexible, acrobatic, and disciplined martial artists in the world. Their training is all about conditioning to make your mind and body stronger. The blend of that mental and physical aspect with a few adjustments for mma makes a dangerous fighter. They train in some ways similar to how a soldier would, but soldiers learn the most effective ways to kill on a battlefield, while monks train to perfect their technique, but the level of focus is the same.
@@Ra.ggg.e what exercise they perform to achieve this?
@@cautarepvp2079 it's their entire lifestyle dedicated to training mind and body from a young age
He only be in Shaolin for 4 years, equal to just a primary school level of Shaolin kungfu, but that experience gave him a very good base to continue in MMA.
Nothing about this is shaolin. He has Xinjiang MMA Club. Everything he does is basic MMA. Stop romantizing scam arts.
Training 12 hrs a day for 4 years with superior instructors is a lifetime for the average person. Beginner , learn your craft kid.
@zao9256 where do you think mma comes from kid ?
2:15 I'm in love with the way he blocked that kick 😏❤❤
That's when Kantharaj knew he messed with the wrong person.
The endurance and consistently effective offense make this guy a legend in the making.
Wait til he runs into an elite wrestler. He will get tied into a knot and pummeled.
@Henry F Wagons grow up kid smh

His composure is his base. His strikes aren't terribly powerful, but over time he breaks down his opponents with his patient, strategic strikes. You know a fighter has a high IQ when they aim for the liver and not just head hunt all night long
He's actually throwing really hard hits. It's just the fact that his opponents are world class athletes that can take a hit. If you notice, when he lands a clean shot, that's when they get dazed or go down. You can literally hear the sound of his hits.
Aim for the liver? Crazy.
Yeah I agree most people don't target that part but if you target it, it breaks all of your body just hard to explain it more
All y’all stfu. Don’t know
Well, if it's good enough for Bas....
As someone trained in boxing, I'm guessing the most useful attributes from shaolin is this guy can seem to take a enormous amount of punishment and his inhuman stamina. There are only so many hits you can block before your arms hurts and go numb which causes your reaction to slow down which can be seen in his opponents blocking his hits and that coupled with them losing to him also in terms of stamina makes him a extremely terrifying opponent if the match isn't ended quickly.
it is the Shaolin training method that produced those abilities in him, which method the western method and other martial arts do not have. monks who have reached the highest level are able to withstand a spear pointed at their neck and bend the spear without being wounded at all
@@vtino4825 yea I've seen those stunts but Wei Xie is an anomaly, not the norm. Most xaolin monks get destroyed in traditional competitions. He has extensive MMA training.
@@jonjeskie5234 most Shaolin monks get destroyed ?? you're talking garbage, not facts. NO Shaolin monks other than Wei have entered MMA competition. your brain needs repairing
@@vtino4825 you can literally Google this info. Look up all the past Fighters affiliated with Shaolin who have entered real-world competitions. Learn something.
@@jonjeskie5234 you can't even tell the difference between being affiliated and being a monk of Shaolin. fyi there are so many kungfu schools set up in the areas surrounding Shaolin temple in China, many claiming to be associated with Shaolin. the name "Shaolin" has become misused to promote a school or a person, who can guarantee ? unless one directly communicates with the authority from the temple itself to check the legitimacy of the claims.
My dude is very talented. Not surprised if he pops up in UFC. I can see why they offered him a 6 figure. They dont want UFC to get their hands on him. Dude is explosive, accurate, has the necessary knock out power and take down defence. I wanna see him with his submissions
Submissions might be his weakness if he has any.
Bro this guy is literally such a monster, every opponent he goes against you just see get so tired right away from his onslaught and he barely breaks a sweat. So glad we are finally getting to see someone trained in shaolin who does it justice in the ring. Now just imagine some of the OG shaolins xD
He got tapped in the first round 2 days ago, back to the drawing board shaolin
@@bojanm33 Right
@@bojanm33 it seems like his ground game is under developed and he tries to stay standing. Good sprawls from him tho.
@@bojanm33 ok and?
Damn people, he has 7 4 pro record. Stop singing serenades, he is good fighter, pretty average though
Imagine he's in an interview and says "I was the weakest of them"😳
He's 5-2-0 I wouldn't be surprised dudes a nobody and he's 30
Beginning of the video already said 'hes become a coach' that means hes one of the best
@@weebros5286 Someone who was actually a Shaolin monk has said that he wasn't there, just in one of the other temples near the Shaolin one. Likely just these guys driving a narrative cuz the name "Shaolin" is very recognizeable.
Infact is the weakest LoL That photo in the video is the proof He never entered the real shaolin Temple, just completed the preparatory "elimination" school Is a noob Facts
@@weebros5286 no Hes one of the best rookies of preparatory school Never entered real shaolin Temple LoL
Can’t deny how dominant that dude is. Not the flamboyance you’d expect. Not sure how sustainable eating punches is but he is fast and accurate as hell. Maybe meditation and being in the moment helps him with focus because damn he’s a sniper with those hands.
One thing about the chinese is that they are stupidly efficient. A lot of fighters dance around too much and you can see they repeat the same movement patterns making them easier to predict. This guy has very little superfluos movement. You can just see it on his posture and attitude. Also those frontkicks from him looked very fast too.
I agree that he's efficient, but some of those "superfluous" movements are to keep the opponent guessing and psyche out. It's also good for defense and setups.
Yeah but he still lost that last fight that was advertised near the end of the video.
It's so interesting that everytime his opponent attacks he takes it as an opportunity to counter. Nobody else is really fighting like that right now, they usually take a moment to adjust after getting hit, I feel like he's going to end up changing the game entirely
Chinese martial art is mostly based on counter attacks. Just wait, same like Japanese ronin in 1 vs 1 fight to the death.
@@LKH9Channel definitely don't see it in mma a lot
@@MarlonOwnsYourCake unless you can overpower your opponent or you got a weapon advantage, being the first to attack exposes your weakness. Naturally I won't go all out attack on someone unless I got a weapon. Like ronin sword fights, one wrong move and you're dead meat.
True. I trained traditional chinese martial art for some years and this is also what I noticed. We were taught that the best way to stop an attack is to attack yourself. Otherwise the opponent will just attack again. Every block and dodge was taught to be part of counter attack or an attack in itself. Very nice to see this in MMA. At the end of the day punching is punching, kicking is kicking, moving is moving and grappling is grappling. They don't really differ that much from style to style in anything but emphasis. What really makes styles different are the fundamental tactics, and the traditional Chinese way of treating every defence as offence has always just made sense to me.
@@janheikel7751 and when you attack, you protect at the same time, Bruce Lee demonstrated that before. And Chinese kungfu flows continuously without wasting energy. Yi Long and all Shaolin monks do it, all rotating continuously, very fluid movements. Bruce Lee compared Kungfu as "A steel ball attached to a rope". Karate as "A rigid steel rod". Very true The place Taichi Fist evolved from.
That's what is very interesting to me about ONE Championship, they have many eastern styles of martial arts that we don't see as much of in the U.S.A. or UFC.. I enjoy seeing disciplines that aren't as popular as others, to see how they compare in modern mma.
He is a kickboxer
@@dionisdionis6620 Nope
@@andersonalves1254 you think this is shaolin kung fu lol
@@foolishyish It is. They teach Sanda at the temple too.
@@SuperCucko i am not expert. But i think that is called Sanda
So many things you can say about this guy. Stamina is insane. His skill is extraordinary. But what I an most amaze by is his power. How is that little guy so damn strong? The power behind his strikes is scary.
He has super balance and steady as a rock on his legs. The solid shaolin stance training. His pain tolerance is superb, even kicks to his groin.
This guys kicks are so powerful when he lands a leg kick it almost ALWAYS makes his opponent do a spin. Guy knows how to use his core in his strikes properly.
What core😅... those guys kick trees down
His stamina is incredible. He can just keep going with the same intensity each time they're in range. The others cant keep up.
he lost
@@somethingcorp.4340 Yeah but that's because his fight was against an Aussie. Shaolins teach only to run when facing Australians
@@somethingcorp.4340 It's not a real defeat, he put his arm around her neck by chance, nobody can continue a fight under such a grip. The Australian didn't want to test his strikes lol
Stop hyping him up he's just a small weak guy he's average at best
@@flixs1353 We can’t give people compliments anymore?
As someone who has practiced Shaolin Kung Fu I will say that his strikes do have Shaolin techniques to them. He also instinctually uses Shaolin style breathing/grunting when striking which helps with stamina.
I hope these people won't bring their Wuhan v!rus Once again To this world.
Boxers since ancient Greece have also used this breathing technique
Tho why is he using Western martial arts and not kung fu U know why cause kung fu is applicable in real life Its a art form it's a fcking dance Sure health benefits n all But u can't use it in real fights Grunts are litrally found everywhere Even I'm street fights
He has that Shaolin fluidity. What I really notice about Shaolin Kung Fu is that it tries to be very tempo and energy efficient. I.e. move out of the way exactly as much as you need to, but do this by being very in touch with your body. I suspect that Shaolin martial arts probably were more effective back in the day when the practitioners actually had to fight to survive. Now that MMA has become big, now there's a new format to actually test the techniques and practice. I expect to see more Shaolin fighters in the future, where these preserved practices and techniques meet real life combat in the MMA ring.
Most martial arts are eastern except boxing, wrestling and some other arts
I'm glad Shaolin Temple is showing that the monks can apply the Traditional arts in the MMA even though the monks are the wrong cats you want to get into a brawl with but I got mad RESPECT for Shaolin Kung Fu because I do Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu
shaolin monks are the coolest people in the world, their discipline and hard training results in guys like him

Crazy how fast his transition is from hands to feet. Respect
The secret is in usage of his core, very Chinese martial arts, especially in what is called "internal" martial arts.
see how he walks strait so he could kick and punch with minimal effort because all forms start with a strait standing position he keeps this in mind at all times not like others who bend they're legs even while standing still like some jojo character

Incredible endurance and power indeed. You can see the expression of his opponents by the time he landed the first punch or kick.
The thing is these monks have UNBREAKABLE discipline.That’s what ultimately ends up making them better than others,when they train it’s so disciplined,smart,calculated.He will definitely go far
The amount of bone hardening they practice plays a huge role in his success i reckon. People underestimate how much bare knuckle training improves technique and power.
That's because martial arts is a religion for them a way of life .these guys who get into MMA are just fans of the sport they train hard for a month or two

Yeah, was thinking similarly. Though, it's important to point out that he isn't doing a lot of traditional Shaolin forms, but really is doing more of a MMA. But that Shaolin training (body AND mind) is apparently part of what gives him the edge.
You can actually see so much fear in his enemies' eyes, yet when you look in his eyes, you only see determination. Not a fan of MMA but that's what I see as an outsider

Shaolin gives some fantastic athletic background for just about anything, and the training they do at those temples definitely goes a long way in terms of conditioning
It shows. The guy has very precise strikes and his form is unwavering even as he's getting hit.
He’s going to get comfortable and lose his form. It’s only a matter of time. That’s how most athletes are. Comfort is one of the silent killer to all athletes.
@@MikeCrawch being a monk, meditation and discipline is a lifestyle. They literally have to control their emotions and desires their whole life. That's why you never seen them compete, it's against their teachings. We should be lucky to seen a real one compete, if he's real that is

This is absolutely brutal😂 My man puts so much power in to those hits!
His advantage seems to be the incredible focus he has, probably from his Shaolin training. He never looks away from his target or even flinches.
He prob could get kicked in the balls and he would be able continue without any issues 😂
yup yea
He is freaking relentless, feel like he doesnt get tired easily and doesnt wanna give a single inch during attack mode, even his breathing is so controlled and minimal, damn.. each punch and kick doing damage and he doesnt just block, he evades.. damn, im seeing the discipline in his martial arts.. this is a fighter in a whole other spectrum..

@@V43xV1CT15 except ground game, he'll probably get schooled in that a couple times
@@rcpayne6416 if anyone can get him down, do you see how many times they tried it just here his balance is almost perfect and that's training in itself.

That last guy was so tough, took a right beating.
Never expected a Shaolin Monk in MMA competition. They normally don’t like to be in the spotlight. Great content ❤❤❤
It's great to see an actual shaolin monk proving that their skills are for real! No longer just the stuff of martial arts movies and fighting games. Would be great to see this guy win the belt
It doesn't prove anything for shaolin, though. If u didn't know his background, u would never know he was a monk. He just looks like any other mma fighter. No Kung fu, no bullshitto, no ninja magic, no chi, no contortion moves, no flying. ...u get the point.

As Mas Oyama said: The ones training harder have advantage. Train hard.
the resilience, the stamina, team lakay u got a serious challenger here, the real deal
This dude is who we've been waiting for
He's a nobody 5-2-0 fighting nobody's lol
he’s not a dude, he’s a man. You’re a dude
Let's also give credit to those who can take this guy's punishing hits. I felt half those kicks in my chest and no way I'd be able to take half a round with this dude.
Everyone gets participation medals yayyyy - But seriously, they wouldn't be very good MMA fighters if they couldn't take some hits and slowly lose the cognitive ability to comment on KZhead videos in a meaningful way. If they threw me in a ring with any of these fellas, let me tell ya! I would be just another sports related vegetable in less than 10 seconds ha ha
your credits no good here buddy, nobody wants it, you keep it.
@@snarevox nobody asked
@@bryce7289 exactly
*The ETERNAL GOD would do anything for you!!* Even out of love for you he went to the cross as a human!! Philippians 2:5-8
I have never seen any fighter with such accurate and powerful instinctual blows that this guy's unleashes in the ring, on top of that he is literally tireless. Just imagine what kind of fighters shaolin has as their representatives of their art. This has undoubtedly proved that shaolin is not only practical but also deadly in effect.
What a great story. A film based on it would be dope
Love the sliding elbow. 👍This fighter is SMART. Make him more dangerous is his mixed boxing techniques and shaolin kungfu background.
Shaolin training is hard af. Respect
@Henry F Wagons how bout you GFY?
@Henry F Wagons Training also includes extreme conditioning, balance, reflexes. He was obviously able to take that conditioning and apply it to MMA
99% of his style in the ring is krav and juijitsu
@Henry F Wagons grow up kid.
@Henry F Wagons No, he meant "dancing" with your mom while your dad watches
Ahh man.... Would definitely love to see him in the UFC !!!
Imagine if he was a 155'er
I’ve always had admiration and respect for the MONK WAY SO AWESOME
From Shaolin to crankin elbows into faces. Love it.
elbow to the face is one of the 1st moves you learn in xiaolin, it's in the louhan 18 hands form, which is among the 1st taught.
@@yamiyomizuki It's beautiful
lol he was never a shaolin monk.
It out a smile.on my face:)
@@MrOptimusheath only for 4 years so technically he was so he is EX Shaolin.
he mixes it up so well.. also great how he uses his knees and elbows.. nice to see someone use push and front kicks for offense instead of just defense
Agreed. The knees and elbows impressed me the most.
This guy has that rare star quality to him, imo. He's genuinely fun to watch.
His reaction time and counters is top notch
Bringing respect back to the Shaolin Temple. Even when he misses a powerful strike He is poised & returns to a cucked & loaded position ready to strike again .. Impressive..
Hes holding back his 1 inch death punch on his opponent's
Every competitive fight this man enters is disrespectful to Shaolin.
@@Nobody-11B is it because personal gain? Or does his earnings go to the needy? ( Charity ) Is it wrong to use your skills and $$$ use earnings to help the needy? In places where children sleep with empty stomachs , held by their crying mother? Perhaps a comment left for this fighter will tell us who are unknown to this man , other than seeing fighter. Lot of false Masters out there who teach nonsense. They have been dragged out into the light of truth. I do not know the man , just a fighter on the screen. Is he really a Monk or has gone astray?
@@joshuasmith6346 he didn't learned that because he only trained four years and one inch punch takes 8 10 years to master if he did rip ground fighters because you only need one inch to ko to grapplers.
at 2:18 he saw it coming and blocked the kick while simultaneously hitting him with a powerful left that is definitely shaolin style forshore
Respect & admire the Shaolin monks They are the real fighters living on planet.❤️🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🙏
this kid is dangerously accurate, quick and unpredictable when executing his strikes which generously compensates for his lack of finishing strikes. A name to watch out for in the future!
This guy has gotta be one of the most satisfying fighters to watch His form and his precision is unreal it’s like watching a video game
I expect nothing less from a Shaolin trained monk, fighter. Very exciting.
And you have to think he is far from the best. The very best of those don 't even compete because that is not their goal.
How many Shaolin monks have fought? Why should we expect this?
@@The_Great_Beyond "The very best of those don 't even compete because that is not their goal." Then how would you know they're good? You just admitted you've never seen their skill tested.
@@gxtmfa It's pretty unclear on the world stage due to the lack of monks participating in these types of matches, but a fair amount of Shaolin monks are trained since they were children, and it's not like a 1-hour after school program. From my understanding, that's their whole way of life. Training, meditating, Buddha scriptures, and stuff like that. Regardless of whether they're great fighters or not, you gotta be a competent fighter if you've trained for that long (similar to Muay Thai fighters). I'm not sure if they do it now, but in the past they used to send scouts to all over the country to pickup kids that can be trained.
@@TheMisterGuy he is average in Shaolin he only trained for 4 years in Shaolin and he entered in Shaolin at age 14 best Shaolin fighter enter at age 5 train for 20 plus years
This guy is so tenacious. And his attacks pack power...!!!
what i see apart from his relentless persistence fighting style.. is an amazing core power. his body isn't bulky nor skinny like a backbreaking job worker.. he reminds me of Marciano
I have never seen someone throw a kick quicker then the average punch he is absolutely incredible, the stamina it takes to be so relentless in his attack I've never seen anything like it
Bruce lee did it all the time
Respect to that guy for lasting those 10 seconds...felt like eternity
Only 4 years in Shaolin temple and he’s already very agile. Would love to see Shaolin monk training when they’re little to fight in mma.
Is this against the Shaolin Monk practice? The art is evolving and being taken into the world in a whole other way.
Wow this guy is relentless.The balance and stability.The strength to continuously strike.Ive never seen before amazing.
Yeah been waiting for someone like this to enter MMA and change things up. Only took a proper shaoling monk to do it not that yi long imposter 😂
A lot of proper leg training and stances plus stamina. Shaolin has it all. That is why it takes 15 years to master. No jumping around, everything to the point
Dude swings with violence, precision, and control. Wow.
I think he is an answer to anyone who says that Kung Fu, or its training doesn't work, or anyone who thinks Kung Fu is bullshido etc... Here is your answer, it does work. This person took his training for the street/ war, to the world of sports, and he is thriving (though he can loose, as no one is perfect) , just because as explained in other videos, MMA is a sport with rules. Any martial art, including Mixed Martial arts (MMA) if you train in it for life and death scenarios and confrontations, you will in most cases be on top of others.
Legend has it that Xie Wei has exited the 36 chambers
The training philosophy of Shaolin is pretty brutal. I can see someone with that mindset picking up a different skillset nd making it work.
Hes on his way to avenge the death of a fellow monk against the champion. Or at least thats how the movie went.
in your dream, meet his thai mate first. then we will see
@@xrpbold6264 He is joking calm down m8
lmaoo
@@xrpbold6264 re write that with proper grammar please
@@xrpbold6264 calm down mate, joke flew over your head.
Man this guy is literally an animal in the cage. He attacks swarms you, and not only does he have insane stamina, but those punches have some serious power to them!
Quick mind and reflexes makes him very good. I think this is because of his background as monk.
2:28 that's some serious agility by the other fighter. Respect
Dude seems like he's most confident going for low takedowns, I'd hope his quadrupedal movement is good 😂
That front kick is insanely powerful 🤯
2:18 look at the forearm how strong is it. Even the 4 year shaolin monk is unbeatable, I can not imagine the others. This guys are tank because of their shaolin trainings.
Some amazing guys, I like him and his style of the fighter, he always knows when attacking and blocking, he is for me like very young dangerous tiger 🐅 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
2:18 that follow up punch after the knock down is maybe the best follow up I've ever seen. I am truly looking forward to seeing more of his fights.
Amazing
This is a PERFECT example of Shaolin Kung Fu in the real world. I think MMA is fueling a reemergence of Shaolin martial arts. This fits the Shaolin style to a T, where the aim is to be as energy and tempo efficient as possible by using this fluidity and intuition to feel out what your opponent is going to do. That's where the meditation and all the other practices come in. Its also about overcoming those more base instincts to flinch, and rather be in that fluid state of mind such that you can make decisions that would run counter to the flinch instinct, like stepping into a kick to block it and also punch at the same time. I think what happened is that Shaolin Kung Fu lost a lot of stuff through atrophy. Monks in the old days had to actually fight to survive. Not the case anymore. MMA is a great opportunity to revive the art in a practiced fashion. Beautiful.
What a complete fighting skill. Cannot wait to see his next match, especially against ground fighting opponent
He got tapped in the first round
I think the accuracy of his blows is the most impressive. He has mastered his reach and the abilities of his body
