Top 10 MYTHS about the SHAOLIN MONKS - Duration: 7:04.Combining the inherent contradiction of "Warrior Buddhists" with the legendary grand scale
of Chinese military history, Shaolin monks have gotten some very interesting stories
associated with them since the emperor of China made the order official circa 496 A.D.
Some of which are so interesting you just know they're not quite true, but can't
resist the urge to hear them.
Here are ten of our favorites.
10.
Much of the Combat Technique was Derived from Indian Animals
The kung fu combat techniques favored in China are actually reported by scholars to have
been Indian in origin.
A mystic was supposed to have gone into the area of the Shaolin Temple and introduced
fighting techniques he had modeled off the movements of animals as if to give the organization
a more benign, naturalistic air.
As reported by National Geographic, though, it's believed by historians that in fact
the Shaolin tradition comes from something a little less enlightened.
The organization started out essentially as someone's private army, and the combat techniques
came from within the group itself.
A bit less pleasant to imagine them as probably a bunch of mercenaries in the beginning that
took on a religious angle, but at least it's a bit more grounded and relatable.
9.
Thirteen Monks Save an Emperor
One of the earlier (and thus more far-fetched) legends relates to an event purported to have
happened circa 621.
Emperor Tang Taizong was besieging a rebel city when another rebel army of 300,000 arrived.
He asked the Shaolins for help and received thirteen warriors.
These thirteen were credited with making a key attack at a crucial moment in the subsequent
battle and saved the army from destruction.
In a battle that involved hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it's hard to imagine thirteen
being the key to the whole battle without picturing something out of a cartoon.
8.
The Training Trap Maze, i.e.
"Wooden Men Lane"
The rigors of training for the organization naturally had to have exaggerated stories,
especially for the final exam.
A myth arose that beneath the temple, there was a maze of wooden dummies that trainees
had to get through.
By that is meant spinning wooden poles with smaller poles branching from them at varying
lengths and heights that meant using different techniques to get through.
This maze was supposed to have 36 different dummies that you had to get through, and they
were equipped with deadly blades.
7.
The God Vaprapni Hates Bullying & Vegetarianism
Vaprapni was a Hindu war god who was incorporated into Shaolin worship and the focus of a particularly
odd story from seventh century A.D.
There was a monk named Shengchou that was a living punching bag in his monastery.
He begged to Vaprapni for help for six days.
Vaprapni appeared, and then forced him to eat meat, an act which was taboo for a monk.
From there it's a typical nerd revenge fantasy where Shengchou demonstrates his great strength
to his former tormentors and they beg his mercy.
Why the Shaolin tradition would want a story of someone being rewarded for betraying their
vows solely out of petty self-interest is really curious.
6.
Ji Nau Lou's Exploit
In the mid-sixth century, the Shaolin monks were dealing with an uprising from a group
called the Red Turbans.
At one point, the main body of monks had been called away from their temple, which was then
attacked with only a small number of less distinguished personnel.
One of them was a cook named Ji Nau Lou who'd been studying Shaolin tactics in secret.
His method of saving the day was to grab a large flaming log from a fire (not a torch
or anything so safe to handle, mind you) and use the staff techniques to scare the enemy
away.
Some versions bothered embellishing it by having him grow into a giant, which sounds
like it would actually be slightly less cool to see than a normal-sized man.
5.
The Unusual Way to Join
Speaking of the sixth century, here's another legend from that period that's quite impressive
but for roughly the opposite reason.
An Indian prince named Bodhidharma (changed to Damo) emigrated to China and was disgusted
by the state he found the Shaolin Temple in and let it be known.
After predictably alienating everyone in and related to the temple, he went to a nearby
cave and began a meditation session.
According to some legends, it stretched out for nine lunar cycles.
In others, it was nine years.
Whatever it was, it impressed the monastery enough that he was not only allowed into the
order but he got his own room, although you'd imagine by then the cave probably would have
felt like home by then anyway.
4.
How to Escape With Style
In the mid-sixteenth century, the monastery was called upon to defend China from raids
by Japanese pirates.
Providing 120 warriors, they fought the Japanese in four battles armed with thirty-five pound
staves and for the first three inflicted sound, one-sided defeats, suffering at most four
casualties a fight.
Then in the fourth one they were almost wiped out with three exceptions, though history
has blamed that on bad military leadership from unrelated to the monks themselves.
The story of the three is that they took reeds and buried themselves for a night, and then
snuck away.
It seems far-fetched and implausible, but also so undignified and specific that you
have to wonder why anyone would make that up.
3.
The Dashanmen (i.e., How to Leave the Order)
Leaving the monastery on honorable terms was, for obvious reasons, not easy.
In fact a system was instituted that basically illustrated how those leaving had an unusually
good grasp of the combat methods.
Three monks would group together, and then face off in combat against eighteen others.
You'd think word of this would never be allowed out for fear of how every time any
three monks left it meant that very likely they'd just lost by far the very best fighters
and the other eighteen must have been pretty badly humiliated.
Nevertheless, stage reenactments of this myth are part of the Shaolin performing repertoire
today.
2.
The Strange Origin of Tea Bushes
This relates to the same event that happened in myth #5, but it's so strange that it
deserves a separate entry.
You'll recall it was said that the Indian prince immigrant spent nine years in meditation
in a cave to contemplate the failings of the Shaolin monastery?
Apparently those were nine very hard years, for in year seven, he fell unacceptably asleep.
So he cut his own eyelids off to prevent any more of that unacceptable.
When his amputated eyelids hit the soil, they changed into the first tea bushes.
Presumably as nature's way of honoring his sacrifice which would very blind him in real
life.
Probably the real reason this was concocted was because they thought an unappetizing legend
would make monks a bit less eager to use up the tea supply.
1.
The Needle through Glass
Probably the most widely publicized single myth in the Shaolin legacy (except of course
for Kung Fu Panda) is this video of a monk throwing a needle through a piece of glass
like his arm has converted it into a bullet.
Controversially, this myth was "busted" on, well, Mythbusters.
Where else?
Shaolin fans claim that the trick shown in the video involves a combination of using
a stronger needle than the one used to test the myth and a thinner pane of glass.
In fact, Wired reported that a German TV show years before Mythbusters had replicated the
demonstration.
Whatever the truth, make sure to skip the first minute of that video anytime you try
to show it to anybody.

You Don't Need That Many Chord Voicings, It,'s How You Use Them - Duration: 6:54.(Jazz Guitar)
- Hi everybody, my name is Jens Larsen.
In this video, I'm going to take four really common
chord voicings that you probably already know
and then I'm going to take a turnaround in the key
of C major and then I'm gonna show you how,
if you open up the way that you think about
and the way you use these voicings,
you actually have thousands of variations
on the turnaround available.
If you wanna learn more about jazz guitar,
improve the way that you solo,
check out some interesting arpeggios and chord voicings,
then subscribe to my channel.
If you wanna make sure not to miss anything,
then click the little bell notification icon
next to the subscribe button.
The basic set of chord voicings that I'm going to be using
in this video are these.
Cmaj7.
A7alt or A7#9.
Dm7.
And G7alt or G7#9.
The first thing you wanna do is probably to get rid
of the root because if you're playing these
and you're comping, then there's probably somebody else
playing a bass line, so then we get this.
(Jazz Guitar)
With these voicings, we can already start changing
the melody a little bit, so for the C major,
you can also just use the A as a top note.
For the A7, we have A Bb, C, and a C#.
For the Dm7, G, A, B, and C.
And again for the G7 the same,
so the same as the A7, so G, Ab, Bb, and B.
Now we can play the turnaround like this.
(Jazz Guitar)
As you can hear, we already have a lot of different
melodies available just with these few notes as top notes
and you can really spend a whole day
just coming up with interesting and really good-sounding
ways for comping the turnaround just using this.
I'm not really gonna go into more examples just like this,
I'm just gonna expand it even further
and look at some different approaches.
So the next thing we can do is to try and add melody notes
that are not only on the same string
but maybe add the next string, so we have these three
note voicings and they're on the middle set of strings
but we can now also extend the melodies
so we can use the top string as well
and then we have these top notes available
for the Cmaj7.
For the A7.
For the Dm7.
For the G7.
So if we use these notes for making melodies,
then we can have an example like this.
(Jazz Guitar)
You can probably tell that even with this slightly extended
range of top note melodies, we can really play
thousands of variations and you can do a lot of interesting
things and make some nice riffs just using
all these different chord voicings that we actually created
just from our basic Cmaj7.
But I'm still playing everything as block chords
so every time I'm playing something,
I'm playing the entire chord.
And one thing that we didn't do yet
is that we can also try to look at it as being
two different layers, so in this case,
I'm gonna do it in a very simple way,
I'm just gonna look at the top note as being one layer
and then the basic chord, so it'd be these middle string
notes here, that's the core part,
and then just use those two layers.
So for the different voicings, I'm gonna get this
and then for the A seven, of course this tri-tone here.
3rd & 7, and 3rd & 7 on the G as well.
And that could give us something like this.
(Jazz Guitar)
Another approach that's gonna give us a lot of different
options is to start thinking about the chord voicings
not as just a set of notes that we can play
or as two layers, but as individual notes
so start playing the chord voicings as arpeggios
and that's gonna give us a lot of different options
that we can also start to apply.
So instead of just playing this or,
we can now start doing.
(Jazz Guitar)
Figures like this.
If I do that in example, that sounds like this.
(Jazz Guitar)
Of course, it's not gonna be very often
that you're gonna be using only arpeggios
like I just did in this example.
But at the same time, this is something that you can
throw in there once in awhile and that's gonna be
a great effect so now we actually have the option
to play different top-note melodies,
we can play in several layers, and also play arpeggios
and if we combine all of these things,
then we have something like this.
(Jazz Guitar)
As you can tell, if you take a step back and look
at the way that you're using something
that's really already in your playing,
you can find new ways of using it
and you can get a lot out of that and I think this way
of looking at things is really useful for not only
when you're playing chords but also for stuff you do
with soloing so if you have some arpeggios
or some skill choices and stuff like that,
just look at what you're already doing,
see if there's something you're missing
or if you can come at it from a different angle
and then that's gonna give you really a lot
and you already have it in your fingers and your system
so it's gonna be quite easy to get into your playing.
Now I'm curious, do you do exercises like this,
did I miss something with the way that I'm treating
these chords, do you have an extra idea?
Then leave a comment on this video.
And I'm also curious if you have other ways
or other exercises that you use to get more
out of the same things that you do when you're comping
or soloing because I'm pretty sure
that whoever is watching this video is interested,
I know I am, and useful tips are of course always welcome

Granny's Cooking Class #1 Separating Egg Whites - Duration: 5:20.Hello InnerTubers, apparently some of you need very basic cooking instructions, so welcome
to the #1 episode of Granny's Cooking School for you sweet fuckers.
Did you see the video where I made the nuts?
Sweet candied nuts?
In that video, I told people that you had to separate egg yolks from egg whites.
And, oh, my word.
There were a whole bunch of you who didn't have a clue, and others of you sent me the
weirdest method I've ever fucking seen.
So, I'm here to show you exactly HOW to separate egg yolks.
You know, separating yolks from whites is really quite simple.
It's like the kids at school who get along and the ones who don't – you just be gentle.
It does take a little dexterity and I'm going to demonstrate.
The first thing you do is crack the egg along the side of the bowl.
Now, crack it gently, but firmly.
It's like giving instructions.
Well, that works in a lot of life, quite frankly.
Now, you see that little opening?
Pinch it gently with your thumbnails.
Oh, you don't have opposable thumbs?
I've got you covered, fuckers, just watch to the end.
So, as you split the shell open, the thing you wanna do is keep both sides level.
You don't want this shit to spill out because it will spill on its own.
You see how it sort of separates on its own?
All right, now dump out the white, but be very careful how you jockey the yolk back
and forth.
Really, they will stay separate.
They don't fight.
There is a guaranteed way to make sure that your yolk does not cooperate.
That is, you're not gentle and you let that fucker roll along the edge of the eggshell
and it will be punctured and it will be hurt.
Don't let that happen.
Now, did you see just exactly how easy that was?
Really.
Some of these other methods . . . I'm not so sure.
I know a guy who's well into his 60s who always ate all the yolks because he said he
could never afford to throw anything away.
And, he wasn't quite sure how to do it.
So, I remembered I had this little gizmo and I showed it to him.
I'm gonna lay this right on top of the bowl and I'm going to break the egg on the other
bowl and drop it right in.
Let's see what happens.
Oh, that is soooooo slow.
Very slow.
You see this shit?
This is what happens when you use the separator.
The snotty part just sorta hangs out and it's like, really?
Whaaaaattttt?
A water bottle.
For the people who can't stand to touch eggs?
I don't know?
But really, why would you fuck with an empty bottle just for a single egg yolk?
You're fucking kidding me, right?
I'll try it.
So, they tell me that you squeeze it to create a vacuum and then it's gonna go [inhales
loudly] suck it up.
We'll see.
Satan suck a dick!
That worked!
I'm blown away.
Well, I wonder if I can pick up the others.
HA HA HA Oh My Gosh
Squeeze [inhale] Suck
Squeeze [inhale] Suck.
Squeeze [inhale] Suck.
I've got 'em all.
Satan suck a dick.
This bottle sucked 5 yolks.
What the fuck am I gonna make with 5 egg whites and 5 egg yolks.
I know!
I'm having company.
I'm gonna make hashbrown casserole and you will find that in my cookbook that's coming
out in September.
Oh, fuck, yeah!
So, I wanna know what you think of Cooking Lesson #1.
There will be more.
You know.
The basic shit that everybody should know but a lot of people don't.
So, if you have a 10-year old, or a 70-year old, or a new bachelor who's never fucking
learned to cook, you turn 'em on to Granny . . . well, my videos.
I hope you're following on the Facebook, subscribing on the YouTube, and I hope you're
sharing my shit with all your friends.
Granny should have her own cooking show.
You tell them fuckers, okay?
To all of my Patreon friends, pals (I gotta come up with a better name for them), they're
all the people who pledge on my Patreon campaign and I hope you'll check that fucker out.
You see up there?
That's where it tells you where to go and also there's a link right down below in
the description.
And . . . tinysponsor.
Tinysponsor has made it possible for me to find an editor to do more videos, which you
love.
Oh, fuck, yeah.
If you're a creator, you should think about signing up with those fuckers because they're
amazing.
If you're one of my fans, how 'bout a big shout-out to tinysponsor for making this
video possible?
[kiss] I love you.
[music plays "people say I cuss too much, but I don't fuckin care –
I don't want borrowed trouble,
I feel good and enjoy the ride,
surrounded by my favorite people, I don't]
