Real Life Slow Motion Kung-Fu with Shaolin Monks
We’ve all seen kung-fu fighting in slow motion across countless films ever since such cameras were invented, but rarely do we see such fighting skills recording at this high of speeds without the aid of special effects.
For Earth Unplugged, they took their hi-speed camera to a bunch of Shaolin Monks who were more than pleased to demonstrate some of their best athletic and fighting movies. At first it’s mostly a lot of backflips (which is still cool), but my favorite moments occurred at the end once the weapons come out.
I like slo-mo in movies, but unassisted, non-CGI slo-mo is increasingly hard to find these days, which is why this is so cool to watch.
