Yeah you can go in there and wear your Gi of preference in respect of your original style but really you are going to be drawing on other styles to survive.
Be great to see a Shaolin style in there one day, they have a ground game and a grappling game as well as the rest so why not.
Hmmmmm, after a good night's sleep, I'm having second thoughts...
I'd lay a 100 to 1 that a Shaolin Monk would get UFC'd and UFC'd badly in about 30 seconds even against a Lightweight gatekeeper like Joe Daddy.
I'd hate to imagine what a bigger, much-nastier guy like Wanderlei The Axe Murderer Silva would do to a Shaolin Monk.
I think even Carano could kick their robed @$$e$.
Walkin' on rice paper without leaving a mark ain't gonna help their sacred @$$e$ in the cage.
I bet even Joe Calzaghe, without cross-training, could take any of them.
Then they could spend some serious time meditating on how come they got their @$$e$ handed to them so bad and so quickly by the MMA barbarians.
Sometime the truth hurts...

Shaolin monks are completely devoted to their way of life, which is totally non violent. Regardless of whether they COULD transition to anything like MMA(and Andre makes good points as to the limitations) it would simply never happen. There is no why not, from their perspective. Stop being a troll bradlee.
They also dont eat meat which probably wouldnt help much when you think about training and aggression, they'd be very placid on their intake. Wonder if the ones who dedicate their whole life to that way live longer than the average in the same area?
Only to those who choose to care or take a side.Quote:

Why is this?
You would think out of all the proper shaolin monks in the world one might go awol and just think "frigg it, ive had enough of this meditation yoga stuff let me go make some money in the ufc!"
Shaolin Monks are Buddhists.
This Buddhist Monk set himself on fire at a busy intersection in Saigon in 1963.
He burned to death without uttering a sound, without moving a muscle from his Lotus position.
It was a protest against the persecution of Buddhism by the South Vietnam administration.

Self-immolations are currently going on in Tibet too. 120 Tibetans have done the job since Feb 2009.
They want to be free of Chinese rule, and want their dalai lama to be allowed to return.

These guys are not to be messed with.
They would not fear fighting a man in a cage under rules and regulations.

Now to think what a good boxer would do to both of those guys, although i think this guy was a fraud, and real shaolains actually have skill, like this guy, but i still say a good boxer f's him up.

Thats the maximum meditation ever.
Any footage!!??
Just saw that on youtube.
If a man is capable of withstanding the most horrendous pain on earth then I think we have the toughest human beings on earth and that is this type of monk.
No one can beat that.
I saw it as mass hysteria, they had been conditioned to hold a deeo belief that he could hit them with no contact and they reacted accordingly, like an extreme version of 'you flinch, you lose'Quote:
