I spent only 3 days at Shaolin and I didn't want to record every single moment. I tried my best to create a somewhat coherent & interesting video with the footage I had. Hopefully this gave you some small insights into what life/nature is like there.
Ranton man I wish I was older so I can learn the real shalion kung fu and culture I've been trying to learn the language I've tried learning in America they dont know their shit
I went there about two months ago and it felt like I had already been, and as weird as it sounds I got deja but on a few occasions, it was my first time in China
Phenomenal editing; as usual. You seem at peace there (not to sound cliche). What an incredible experience just to climb the mountain; let alone live there. That view tho...
He still is. You can see it in his reaction, that something in his heart still wants that life back. I hope to be able to train there sometime, I need this peace and simplicity to get some clarity in my head.
Hey man, I know that Shaolin temple means a lot to you, and to be privileged to gain some insight into your experiences there is really humbling. Keep up the good work man, but don't feel like you have to film just for us. Great vid though, thanks.
@@rubs.20.73 you probably shouldn’t send your phone number to someone in a public comment section where hundreds, if not thousands of people can see it
Thank you for sharing your amazing journey. You could tell in the video how much influence the temple has had on your life. Even the way you present yourself and walk around after you put your robes on was completely different. Much respect bro.
I just want that noodle soup you ate there tbh. Awesome video, I really like that you didn't film a lot. You can't feel a place through the camera like it is in real life.
Tudore ,individul asta este un fake, nu este un calugar shaolin adevarat, tocmai a spus ca a plecat de acolo ,face si el niste filmulete pe unde calatoreste si apoi le pune pe youtube, probabil sa cistig ceva bani
its been 8 years since i been to the temple to train. 7 since i last trained. I do miss it My god, I remember that path up to the top lol. I wasn't in great shape. To the point where I was told to stay somewhere mid way while my group went to the top. After resting for few minutes I went up anyway alone. Getting to the top overwhelmed me with happiness that I cried. It was a good day
This is so atmospheric! Well done, Ranton! :D Also, thank you for showing us where the Shaolin Temple is. Our questions were answered! hehe The coolest thing is probably the connection you have with the people there. Teachers and friends who greet you with open arms are awesome. Not like in school or university where you return and everyone's like "I don't know you and I don't want to know you, I almost managed to forget you". Anyways, really cool video :D
This video is so deep and meaningful. Your words at the end of it say so much. Thank you Ranton for everything, especially for your honesty and friendliness.
Tbh.. I dont play a lot of games and my interest has drastically decreased so i dont watch ur vids too often. But your dank edits are always so good, so these vlogs (even though this is the second one) are something i everytime will look forward to watching... :p
I love coming back to these vlogs they’re always so inspiring to watch and make me realise how much I need to travel and experience new places and cultures
My guy, i've watched this video 3 times by now in less than 8 hours, i cannot emphasize enough the feeling i get from watching this and seeing your reactions, your expressions, i can almost feel the emotions, i'm going through a phase like the one you said on the first video about this, i've already went to college, i've already worked with something i didn't really wanted to and it felt terrible, i'm now doing something i love doing, but i'm still lost, this weird feeling, and i kid you not, when i was a kid i soooo wanted to train kung-fu (i just used to say kung-fu like in general), but where i live there's no such thing as a temple for me to go train, i wish i could go to the shaolin temple and stay there for a while like you, it's...idk...i'm almost crying from watching this video man, it hits me right in the feels, i wish...
I don't know why this video nearly isn't as popular as other shaolin videos. This one carries so much of your feelings towards the place it's unbelievable. Great video, probably one of my favourite videos of yours :)
I have nothing left to say, i just want to comment because you deserve a lot, another video worth watching! Wondering how many hours you needed to reach the top.
The most serious ranton I’ve seen. Seeing the depth of a man who you always see in a less real, humorous light, is always an amazing experience. True humanity. Love your content. Keep up the great work.
Beautiful. I've spent about 5 years periodically doing training under the guidance of Shi Yan Fan, who happens to be one of the incredibly rare westerners who complete the entire process and become ordained shaolin warrior monks (he also was one of the first in a LONG time to receive the Jieba, which is also impressive), and the experience I've had is NOTHING compared to what you have gone through. I feel that one of these days I will go to the temple and train there eventually, but until then, I will just have to keep working hard to reach that point. Huge props to you for going through with it.
Vielen vielen Dank für dieses Video! Ganz ehrlich, vor ein paar Tagen durch absoluten Zufall über deine Videos gestoßen über deine Zeit in Shaolin und ab der ersten Minute deines Videos über was du am Tempel vermisst hattest du mich. Schon lange hat mich ein Thema nicht mehr so bewegt, da sind einige Steine ins Rollen gekommen und ich bin mega gespannt wohin die Reise gehen wird. Wie es schon andere geschrieben haben vermittelst du deine Erlebnisse so unglaublich authentisch und durch dieses Video, vor allem des Schlusses wegen merkt man wie sehr dir die Zeit im Herzen geblieben ist. Hat mich an viele sehr tolle Momente in meinem Leben erinnert und an die Zeit wenn man Jahre später wieder an die Orte kommt und es sich nichts verändert hat und man gedanklich einfach anknüpft an dem Punkt an dem man aufhörte. Goosebumps man...and some manly tears... Aber jetzt ist gut, soll ja keine Liebeserklärung werden 🤣
@@versagesversages2162 those monks are facing to go upstairs hill is a problem and the monks are living in modern time 21st century. They are not from ancient civilization. So, the monks who are living at modern facing problem then it is modern problem. Ok dude. Case closed. Sayonara
I can only imagine how emotional it must have been to return to a place that made you who you are today, Ranton. You are a person of respect and wisdom, but a meme also. We love you!
Wow! So beautiful at the top of the mountain! We truly feel the nostalgia in your eyes while you're sitting at the top...brought tears to my eyes as I could feel it...'maybe that's enough' got me right in the feels...
your videos are so great.finally we get a sneak peak into the life of the temple and your knowledge about it because you trained 3 years there.thank you again.
This is my dream life as well. As a girl I was having problems in schools and dropped out when I was 14. Luckily my parents asked me to stay in a temple for three months (but not training for Kungfu), it opened my eyes for so many things and I felt unprecedented peaceful in my mind. I went back to school sense then. Now I'm 20 and trapped in daily trifles just like everyone does, but I cannot forget that sense of peaceful and wish to go back there again.
And remember guys leave a like and a comment on Rantons vids that way youtube will suggest his content to more people and Ranton can get the audience he deserves. Sauber da!
this was amazing. i'm glad you're willing to show the little bit that you did, and I'm sure you were missing the place even before you left, knowing you had such a short time to revisit
This was actually pretty badass. I didn't know it was so extremely beautiful up there. Great edit too. RIP meme, you will be missed. Where is the way to Germany tho????
You are what UA-cam Needs .... you are pure authenticity and a breath of Fresh air on youtube... your life and story is amazing ... This was a beautiful video and your Channel is the best thing to hit UA-cam!!
I always thought that After being in a temple like shaolin your personality would completly change and u would be very strict and Not do Jokes and stuff but i didnt realise that you Kind of dont have to completly be a cold wall
Xie Xie for sharing🙏🏼 I have walked the same paths and feel such a connection at Shaolin❤️ very heartfelt video for me and hope to return in the near future!
You’re a beautiful person, you’ve helped me through so much and have inspired me to do things I never thought I’d do or think I could do. Buddhism makes me feel very unique to myself and connected with something divine making sure that no matter what I choose, it’ll be the right choice
just came here from internet historian and this is the first video of yours ive watched. instant subscribe. thank you for sharing this, i bet it’s even more breathtaking in real life!! 💞💞
I stumbled here and have just subscribed. This video is very respectful and very beautiful. Its inspirational and motivating. Thank you for sharing this with the world. Hopefully everyone gets a chance to see this video.
As a shaolin kung fu practitioner myself, I have to ask... why did you leave at all? I know the western way of life is hard to let go, but was there a reason in particular? I'm currently stuck in my country, but I have considered many times to just let go of everything and dedicate my life whole-fully to kung fu.
The first part of this video and this one especially was really quite moving and beautiful to watch, you can really tell your love for Shaolin and China and it was nice to see. I have been a fan for about 3 years and mainly watch the game reviews and podcasts, I often revisit them podcasts especially. I'm only just discovering your older content which has been a joy to watch. Thanks, Ranton :)
Monks usually wear a grey-ish robes. Masters tend to wear brown occasionally. But its become very loosey-goosey. For some special ceremonies and kung fu performances the color/outfit is changed.
You can most likely practise kung fu + shaolin in your city, too, if it's a bigger city. You don't have got the temple and the mentality there, though, ofc.
I know many people have told you this but I most say that I admire your courage. You left your comfort zone to found a way in a simple life. I hope one day I can do what you did for myself. Stay strong !
Hi I am new here. I saw your channel and was intrigued by it. When I saw your video of when you became a shaolin monk to this video of revisiting that place. It gave me some or at least a little understanding of how life is hard but as you reach the top or understand from the bottom as long as you find peace within yourself or in others through hardship you may find some incite who you really are. Just let you know I am a amateur compare to those who had the guts to venture out to "different" territory just to find themselves or to know what is their purpose is, " to clear ones mind," so to speak. I thank you for sharing this. This give me some hope fore humanity knowing some people care to understand about "life or life in general."
Very interesting, thank you. Have enjoyed all your videos concerning Shaolin. In another video (concerning a computer game and your mimicry of the poses/moves etc)) you say you don't know where the two fingered mudra comes from - the one that's looks like a heavy metal hand gesture - well isn't that it at 4:44 on this video - on the hill, in the temple area?
Hi Anthony!!! Very nice to see you again here! And your videos about Shaolin Temple make me feel really nostalgic of those days! It has been a unique experience that I will never forget. And I will remember also the beautiful friends I met there! You and all the others! I really hope to come back to the Temple this summer! Lets keep in touch!
Jake Taylor das Problem ist, mit immer mehr Abonnenten kommt mehr Aufmerksamkeit und da Ranton Humor ja nicht sehr unkontrovers ist, ist die Chance auch höher dass eine Kontroverse entsteht. Aber trotzdem gönne ich ihm die Zuschauer

helps if you speak chinese

This was a really well done video. That place looks beautiful. Love your humor Ranton, but this was just as good.

I'm currently stuck in my country, but I have considered many times to just let go of everything and dedicate my life whole-fully to kung fu.

I’m learning about Shaolin monks and Kung-fu for dance at school, finding your channel has been so interesting. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Very interesting, thank you. Have enjoyed all your videos concerning Shaolin. In another video (concerning a computer game and your mimicry of the poses/moves etc)) you say you don't know where the two fingered mudra comes from - the one that's looks like a heavy metal hand gesture - well isn't that it at 4:44 on this video - on the hill, in the temple area?
Hi Anthony!!! Very nice to see you again here! And your videos about Shaolin Temple make me feel really nostalgic of those days! It has been a unique experience that I will never forget. And I will remember also the beautiful friends I met there! You and all the others! I really hope to come back to the Temple this summer! Lets keep in touch!
Hey Federico! Yeah those were some great memories. Enjoy your stay there this summer. Hopefully we'll meet again someday :)
großer Fan seit paar Wochen, mach weiter so :) Nicht aufhören! Dein Humor wird dir schon bald zu mehr Subscribern verhelfen, keine Sorge :D
Jake Taylor das Problem ist, mit immer mehr Abonnenten kommt mehr Aufmerksamkeit und da Ranton Humor ja nicht sehr unkontrovers ist, ist die Chance auch höher dass eine Kontroverse entsteht. Aber trotzdem gönne ich ihm die Zuschauer
