Everyone kind of thinks of Shaolin monks as complete badasses who jump around all over the place doing flying kicks and all kinds of crap and that’s pretty much correct, although there’s a lot of debate about internal and external martial arts and what actually falls under the Shaolin Kung Fu category.
Most people can agree though that those trained in the Shaolin temple do fall under the category of Shaolin monk, and it’s clear to see by these pictures of them training just why they’re such complete badasses and are able to fight like they do. Some of this shit is extreme.
