No can do.

The best I've seen wasn't taped and posted to attention*****.com aka youtube...lol

there's some nice boxing vids there though.

But I've seen old fat men do pretty amazing things in shaolin kung fu.
I've also seen small skinny kids doing freaky stuff and I've seen average size guys beat the hell out of big boys and it wans't recorded.

Dam you growing up in the 70s and 80s!!!!

You need to work on your searching skills on youtube dude, there is "gold" there at times.

Did you see that clip?
All 40+ minutes of it?
IMHO, that covers much of what I believe to be the core of HK and it has nothing to do with the "star" of the show.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I just prefer the straight goods without much in the way of commentary. :)

Its the stocking stuffer you've always wanted fanboy....don't be scared. It's eye opening training at its finest.

It brings new light to the term 'back door disciple'.

I dig this guys form and technique

My fav Shaolin Vid

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeP_AcmIzqU&list=PLAB2536931EE1A148&index=78&feature=plpp_video

Some good CLF vs BJJ sparring vid

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3MPHySHED8&list=PLAB2536931EE1A148&index=3&feature=plpp_video

My Old CLF Sifu, one of the best martial artists I've ever seen in person, wish he made more vids. It doesn't show in this vid but amazing strength, speed for his size and use of great angles in attacks.

That's what I am talking about.
I like to see what people THINK is the "god stuff" of any given style.
It gives us a POR to go from.
If someone comes to me and says the "good" Wing Chun is a static and compliant demo of chi sao, I KNOW that his Idea of "good" and mine are way off.
Same goes for someone showing a clip of a form as what they thing is good "CLF" as opposed to someone else showing a clip of CLF in a fight.
Perspective, know what I mean?

[David Jamieson]

That Kung fu Clowns thing was pretty dang good. :p
