This is why monks are superhumans welcome back Charlie here from piercing cans with their fingers
to pulling CS with their heads you're about to find out why you should never mess with a
Shaolin monk first we have to look at the diamond finger technique Shaolin Monk's fingers should be
registered as lethal weapons the holes in this tree were not caused by woodpeckers but instead
by Monk's fingers after lots of training the nerve endings in Monk's fingers die this causes their
fingers to be as hard as a hammer they also roll their fingers in between 150 lb weights allowing
them to balance their entire body weight on one finger they can even open cans using their fingers
they can even break bricks and stones using their fingers you don't need any tools if you're a monk
it takes monks years to be able to balance on only one finger this was a move popularized by
Bruce Lee he was able to do push-ups using only two fingers Shaolin Monks can do this too and
can even do gymnastics using only one finger some monks still think that's not hard enough
which is why they do it while balancing tires on their backs it seems like the word pain is
not in the dictionary for Shaolin Monks another insane Shaolin monk technique is the iron Palm
every part of a Shaolin Monk's body is dangerous including their palms to develop endurance they
slap ice cold water with their palms this makes them not feel anything in their hands they move
on to punching bags filled with iron after some time their palms become incredibly strong allowing
them to break bricks and rocks with ease no Hammer no problem these monks can literally
Hammer nails with their bare hands and even tear metal bows using their palms one of the strongest
areas on a sholin monk's body is their head and neck they do Insane training to ensure this they
balance on their heads for hours they also balance their entire body weights using their neck which
allows them to push cars using their neck they can even break hard metal poles on their heads
and necks just imagine getting headbutted by one of these guys take a look at how strong the head
of this Japanese woman is her name is Reena teada she trained alongside shaol and monks to do this
but if you think that's impressive check out this guy he is able to pull a big car using his head
to the amazement of all the other Shaolin Monks you might think I'm exaggerating when I say monks
can't feel pain but check out what this monk is doing in Nong Buu Al lamu Thailand a monk sat in
a pot of boiling oil and somehow felt zero pain Spectators were flabbergasted the monk said that
the oil is very hot but he was somehow able to control the pain according to science this should
be impossible but other monks have done the same thing the monks stayed inside this hot oil all day
superheroes are impressive but I think this monk is even more amazing amazing being able to feel
no pain is a power so many people would want especially if you have a habit of swimming in
boiling oil another crazy Shaolin monk superpower is that of precision this monk throws a needle
through glass he does this with enough Force to break the glass and pop the balloon behind it
his precision and strength is absolutely insane monks can literally turn something as harmless
as a pin into a bullet it took this monk 15 years to master this and that's after training for hours
every single day this monk is so accurate he can throw swords through tiny holes there's no point
running from this Shaolin Master he can throw a sword at you no matter where you are still
doubting monks have real life superpowers take a look at this Shaolin monk who can literally walk
on water this Chinese monk is named shei liliang when he was a child he became obsessed with Kung
Fu he soon joined a temple and became a Shaolin monk she spends every day running with iron bars
on his feet after doing this for 9 years he can now walk on water he can now walk around 400 ft
on water and he can do even longer using wooden boards he uses these for balance he stands on each
board for less than 1 second making them seem like a solid surface she's the only monk in the world
who's able to do this and he's still not done she says he will keep practicing until he can
do this for even longer he hopes to one day cross this Lake without using any wooden boards another
amazing technique from shaol and monks is known as the iron body the iron body technique makes
monks body is impenetrable during training monks hit each other very hard they do this with fists
wood and even concrete over time this makes their bodies very tough meaning that they stop feeling
pain they also get insanely strong allowing them to bend metal using their bodies but all that
strength is pointless without balance that's why Shaolin Monks practice balancing for hours every
day monks stay in uncomfortable positions for hours on end they do this while also balancing
bowls of hot water or candles these balancing positions are known as stress positions which
is literally used as a form of torture in various countries monks are able to stretch and balance
anywhere they're even able to balance while doing push-ups but the most impressive stunt is being
able to balance on their head this monk balances on a thin piece of metal his skull must be made
of iron somehow he's able to do this for up to 30 minutes I think if I tried this I'd end up
with a metal pole stuck in my head shaol and monks also do a trick where they can move using a stick
good luck fighting this guy when he's balancing feet above you another insane monk technique is
known as the iron leg Shaolin Monks toughen their legs over years and years they do this by kicking
trees thousands of times eventually they're able to snap word and bend metal despite their leg
strength their accuracy never diminishes allowing them to seemingly break the laws of physics monks
start this leg training at a very young age meaning that by the time they're adults their
legs are stronger than metal a wild technique every young monk has to learn is tree hugging
despite the name this is not merely hugging a tree instead monks have to wrap their arms and
legs around trees they then have to use maximum Force to squeeze and hug the tree strengthening
their muscles and flexibility as you can tell by these young monks faces it's a painful process
training monks sometimes have to do this for up to 12 hours a day the idea is once their training is
complete they'll be able to rip the tree out of the ground another skill Shaolin Monks learn is
MMA Shaolin style fighting is insanely dangerous it's one of the most difficult martial arts but
if done correctly it beats all other fighting styles very few monks are MMA fighters but y
long is one of them he has mastered kickboxing woou and Shaolin style fighting he is only 5'8
and weighs a relatively small 159 lb you may think there's no way Yong could beat a heavyweight but
he has an amazing record of 62 wins and half of these were Knockouts he even defeated this
guy named Choy hung man also known as the Korean monster it goes without saying that to have all
these skills flexibility is key that's why shaol and monks begin flexibility training
from an early age they can bend backwards and can go from lying down to standing in seconds
Shaolin Monks also have to master jumping but they don't jump like you and I it seems
like monks literally defy gravity when jumping seemingly flying through the air but now it's
time to make your voice heard which of these monk superpowers was the most amazing I've been Charlie
