Get 50% OFF a Babbel subscription! ➡️ HERE: https://go.babbel.com/6m50-youtube-xiaomanyc2-march-2021/default China’s Shaolin Temple is renowned as the birthplace of kung fu, and warrior monks have been training there for thousands of years as a way to cultivate both their spiritual and practical fighting skills. Now I do CrossFit workouts pretty regularly and I’m decently fit but recently I thought it would be interesting to see what it would be like to instead train and live like a Shaolin warrior monk.

Now fortunately there is actually a real-life 34th generation Shaolin monk who runs his own temple only a few blocks away from my apartment in NYC. According to his Wikipedia page he can break rocks with his skull, deflect blades with his skin, and sleep while hanging upside down from a tree branch. I’ve met him before and I can tell you he’s the real deal. So I decided to spend a week with him learning the ways of the Shaolin warrior monks.

Here’s a link to the Shaolin Temple website if you’re interested in taking classes with them: https://usashaolintemple.org/
