Monkey vs. Tiger - not sure if this should be posted in the Shaolin Kungfu section - I defy anyone not to smile.

That clip was funny and the sound effects make it sound like a Benny Hill sketch
Here is the first clip of a documentary about Jackie Chan stunts. Although it is all performance and not intended for effective combat I am always impressed by the fluidity and speed of Jackie's movements. Enjoy
if you like it you can easily look for the other 9 parts
edit: the wolfman clip was quite amazing, have you heard of sharkman? there is a South African scientist who actually swims alongside adult great white sharks, I can post the clip if anyone is interested.
And yes I spend too much time on youtube ^_^

Cosmic time, a very interesting documentary by Michio Kaku a renowned physicist. He looks at this thing we call time and explains how in fact time is relative, can stand still and other strange facts that new physics has explained. This is a great introduction to what some spiritual masters found out with only their meditation.
Interesting video, Mike. It's funny how science can never really hold on to what they've "proven" for very long, and the stuff that does stick was proposed by the great masters of the past, such as Buddha.
At the recent chi kung course in Costa Rica, Sigung told us, "According to modern science, a butterfly should not be able to fly. But it obviously can, so how does it manage to fly? The butterfly has not studied modern science!"

it describes their troubles with the Chinese government, shows some of their yoga routines, features interviews with the dalai lama and other prominent yogis and also shows the spread of Tibetan Yoga to the west. It is an interesting parallel with our own school when we see that from a negative experience some positive has come about: ie masters spreading their arts among deserving students around the world. I hope you enjoy
think you know everything there is to know about cave paintings? they were just our ancestors painting some animals right? it seems this is not the case and there was a more spiritual side.
Well I thought that seeing as youtube is overflowing with all sorts of music clips, I'd post a clip of a great song by my favourite Australian band - Augie March.
While this certainly isn't, in my opinion, the best song they've done (Men Who Follow Spring the Planet 'Round is...) it's still a classic and I think a lot of people will like it. Enjoy!
PS: This track was voted #1 last year in the worlds largest public music poll held by non-commercial radio network "Triple J" in Australia. Quite an achievement, I reckon.
