Ringing Round A Tree.


Bao Shu Gong




A student will require an unusual training partner for this study a fully grown tree.

The exercise is simple enough; wrap one’s arms around the tree, and pull until your energy is entirely expended.

After the first year, progress will begin to show.

The first step to mastery is the ability to shake loose a few leaves of the tree.Another year of the student shaking leaves from the tree must pass the same intensity, without stopping.

The student must continue throughout their life with this practice, only reaching masteryonce they have completely uprooted the tree.

Even the small trees used for this training requires immense, constant force over the course of years to loosen the roots.

If a master of this practice ever clasps his opponent as he does the tree fatal injury can occur easily.

Iron Head


Tie Tou Gong




There is a reason head-butting is forbidden in sports such as mixed martial arts, the risk of traumatic brain injuries.

The iconic Shaolin “Iron Head,” however not only recommends these sort of blows but prescribes them as a regular training regimen.

Students strengthen the frontal bones, temporal bones, and top of the skull to a near superhuman rigidity, rivaling that of stone.

The objective is fairly basic: Knock objects into your head, and your head into objects slowly and gradually over years to strengthen the bones in the skull.

With dozens of micro fractures, combined with healing and repetition, the bones reshape to the pressure, and can become incredibly resilient.

However, this can take dozens of years of daily practice to achieve, eachtime with the risk of permanent injury.

The first basic training regimen recommended in the methodology of the Shaolin involves wrapping one’s head in silk and gently banging the head against a stone wall.

After one year, the student will remove a few layers of silk and continue the process for a minimum of 100 days, after that, the silk is removed completely.

From here, students will practice with more extreme methods, such as knocking their skulls together for hours, cracking frozen blocks atop their heads, and even sleeping in headstand positions.

Specific exercises and techniques to strengthen the temples, mouth, and eyes follow this technique as well.

Physical.


Shaolin Monks believe that once they have trained their minds to achieve the level of focus necessary to harness their Chi, their physical movements are limited only by their imaginations.

They are capable of extraordinary feats when it comes to their Kung Fu skills.

The course of a Shaolin Monk’s physical training will carry them from straightforward tasks, in the beginning, into ever-increasingly complexity, cresting with seemingly impossible trials of physical strength, agility and flexibility.

A Shaolin Monk is not allowed to progress to the next level of his training until he has mastered what he has already been taught.

A Bamboo Leaf.


This technique trains a Shaolin Monk to use his palms to deadly effect.

After continuous training of striking hard objects with both hands, the monk is left with exceptionally strengthened palms.

Once he is able to break these objects, he has mastered the attack and is capable of causing terrific damage on opponents.



Raising a Weight of 1000 Jins.



This technique trains the strength of the forefinger, thumb and middle finger, specifically the insides of the fingers.

Shaolin Monks train to do this by holding heavy objects for hours using only these parts of their bodies.

This eventually enables them to press holes through wooden boards and inflict similar wounds on opponents.

Method of Hardness and Softness.


The name of this technique reveals that it is an equal combination of both Chan (meditative power) and Quan (physical power).

Shaolin Monks train to utilize this technique by making fists that grip paper bundles during combat exercises.

It is said that this technique can fling men great distances and is especially useful against multiple opponents



Striking with Foot


This is a simple but nonetheless powerful attack. When mastered, it is possible for a Shaolin Monk to strike opponents so they are flung great distances.


They train to do this by striking small stones in mid-air with their kicks.

I don't think it's even fair to try and compare a kunfu master to a skilled archer, from what am seeing here these people train for more than half their lives, imagine how many clips one can empty and reload into the dark after that many years of train.




Oh there is also nightvision. Soldiers have that too for good measure. Nice thread though.
