If this is true, the Shaolin and the Wu-Tang will be dangerous. Dammit. That's not news. That's just a lyric from Wu-Tang Clan's 'Forever' album. Actually, when we interviewed Dan Hardy back in 2010, he gave us a little in-depth look out what it was like when he traveled to China on a whim to train with Shaolin monks.

That took a lot of emailing and phone calls and stuff to set that up. Basically, I watched a TV show about a place in central China where these two Chinese guys had gone and spent three years there training, and I just thought to myself you know I want to try that. I did loads of research and found out I couldn’t go there unless I was Chinese so I might have to find another place in the north of China and I just went down there for two months. It was basically a castle on the side of a mountain and there was a bunch of people from around the world there: a few Americans and Canadians and a couple Australians and some Norwegians guys. It was quite a little collection. There was probably about 30 of us there and then there was a bunch of Shaolin Monks as well. It was just all day every day training about 12 hours a day.

The truth is, if the entire world incorporated the word 'Shaolin' into their dialect, there would be no more war in Afghanistan. That's just a theory. I also have a theory that if everyone had a box of graham crackers, the war on poverty would end.

Maybe you should just check out this video of Roy Nelson practicing his Shaolin Kung-Fu leading up to UFC 146 and leave me to my own half-assed theory creation.

I've been seeing a lot of Fedor losses in UFC promos lately.

That Wu-Tang quote isn't from "Forever", Zeus. It's from 36 Chambers. For shame...

Shaolin Shadow boxing, and the Wu-Tang sword style, if what you say is true, the Shaolin and the Wu-Tang could be dangerous.

If I walked by Roy Nelson on the street I would put a quarter in his cup.

Trampolines are no joke. Have you ever played that indoor trampoline dodgeball? That shit is insane! I like to consider myself in good shape - I work out often and run a lot...but 20 minutes and I was EXHAUSTED, my lungs were burning.

Crazy fun, but amazing cardio.

Is it just me or do Dave Herman and JDS look similar?

No one commenting on the fact that Herman uses a trampoline for his MMA cardio training?

If this is any indication, then Jackie Chan would kick Roy Nelson's ass.

Nah. Jackie Chan is like 70 years old and probably has arthritis all over his body from all the stunt work.

Jackie Chan's kung fu is legit though. Dude knows his shit and is a master at what he does. The guy Roy is training under...I'm not so sure about.

Huh. All this time, I thought Nelson listed his style as Kung-Fu just to be different.
