    That guy is a good athlete, some nice parkour & some nice movie martial arts.

    Anyone who sees that and thinks he looks like an awesome fighter would either be extremely naeive or a complete moron.

    This video shows the "monk" training at Wudang, a once famous kung fu mountain. My own Sifu was there in 1984 and found no schools and a single 80 year old practicing "Tai He Chuan". This is what Wu Shu has become and now means. The Shaolin monastery similarly famous now has over affiliated 50,000 students in its local area!!!
    San Da / San Shou is of course popular in China, but is almost seen as something different, even though the san shou fighter’s style or delivery system would be in name the same as the Wu Shu Dancers????
    Funny thing is, over there modern martial arts (wu shu - an amalgamation of "the best bits" of various styles) is seen to be ineffectual and contrived by fighters where as the traditional styles carry the credibility.
    Imagine the possibilities for martial arts, if such sacred monasteries and mountains trained fighting and not dancing, a 50,000 person strong fighter stable?
    Then again, it takes a certain mentality, a strong will to actually train to be a fighter, it's always easier to pretend, but this isn't just a Chinese phenomenon!
