I want to train with the shaolin monks?

Question

How would I go about doing so?, are they friendly and would they let me train with them? Would I have to book an appointment please tell me everything you know!

Answer 1

they won't train foreigners. Unless you're Chinese, you're out of luck.

Answer 2

I want to sleep with Jessica Alba too, but much like training with the monks it will never happen. I know there is a school somewhere in New York that is run by I believe a 38th generation monk. That is probably as close as you will come.

Answer 3

Why would you want to? Don't you want a girlfriend, phone or computer? You want to live with the monks instead?

Answer 4

You can never train with shoalin monks cause you have to start at the age of 2and you have to be born in a shoalin temple if not your parents send you there when your a baby. Shoalin monks dont even know what technology is and they just train foreigners. Also you'll never survive the training. Trust me I have seen them and the training they go through is for superhumans only.

Answer 5

Become Buddhist, shave your head, start praying.

Answer 6

You do NOT have to be Buddhistt to train with the shaolin, you do NOT have to be chinese, the shaolin monks currently have an american and a french (?) student. I don't know what exactly you need to join, but I do know that you have to fly to China and petition the masters for a place in their school, and If you are not very young (like 10-12) then you will need prior martial arts training, fianlly if you are accepted be prepared to completely devote your life to the practice of Shaolin Kung Fu because you live on-site at the temple and don't leave, you don't have a job, a girlfriend, a phone, or a computer. However, what you may not know is that this is just to train with the MONKS. If you just want to learn shaolin Kung Fu there are schools here in the US that teach it (and other countries too) and there are lots of schools in China that teach it as well. In present day China, Shaolin Kung Fu is not a great secret anymore, they recognize how superior and effective it is and teach it all over the country. Sure, some of the "top secret" master-moves are probably only know to the temple masters, but few people ever learn those anyway. The China based schools have many foreign students as well. I would recommend that you look for schools in whatever country you live in, even if they are far, it would be a shorter trip than traveling to china!

Happy Training!
