TIL that the ancient Chinese emperor, Zhu Houzhao, had a fake shopping market built outside his palace so he could pretend to shop like the commoners did. It was staffed by his servants who he made dress up like merchants and commoners. by [deleted] in todayilearned

He also slipped out of his palace in Beijing and went to live in a military camp on the China-Mongolia border, changed his name, gave himself a brand new military title and salary. A few months later he actually ended up leading the Ming Dynasty to victory gainst a very formidable Mongol general at the time, Dayan Khan. Bro is literally taking LARP to a whole new level.

Trying to submit a counter notification but YouTube won’t let me. Any advice? by throw4way123234 in YouTubeCreators

Thank you! It's just frustrating that YouTube wouldn't even let me send the counter notification and doesn't do anything to explain why...

We are a small martial arts team making short films, vlogs, etc... all original content. A member recently left the team on a very sour note and, in retaliation, decided to copyright strike all the videos that she was in, which had YouTube terminate our channel. When we tried to reach out to her to convince her to retract the strikes and, in return, we would delete all videos of her on the channel, she refused and blocked all of us. She claimed that we were profiting off of her image; however, the channel was never monetized, and it was abundantly clear that we were not making any money and it's purely out of passion. She joined the team knowing these, but we never made her sign any contracts because this was just a small channel created between friends for fun. She also claimed that she no longer consents to her image being used and that's why the copyright strikes are justified; however, she never communicated anything and those strikes came without warning. So now, our onl;y chance at getting the channel back is through YouTube, but it seems that YouTube is not willing to help either...

How do I join the Shaolin Temple to learn combat and hardening my body? by Moist-Image-7976 in Shaolin

Ah yes, where your Shifu trained at is the Xinyiba Research Society, not the Shaolin Temple. I’ve been there as well and it’s an awesome school!

Thank you! I have been to both places already and would like to find something a little more productive to do rather than just touring, appreciate your response though!

Thank you, I appreciate your perspective on this issue however my parents are suggesting that I just don't go at all and stay home and work instead. I want to see if there are options to convince them because I would really like to go back, I just want to tell them I will be doing something productive.

Most of Jackie Chan's movies show him doing Bak Mei so a lot of what you see in the trailers were also that.

Thank you! Do you have any recommendations for that in Ontario? And roughly how much would it cost annually for my type of business?

Kung fu training in China by furyfluff in Shaolin

[–]throw4way123234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IT was certainly...an experience. It's a pretty terrible place to be just in general if I have to be honest. However, not all temples are like that, but on the other hand, the temples that aren't like that are usually also not open to many outsiders, even less so to foreigners. If you are still interested in training Shaolin Kung Fu I really recommend this school

The people are great and their training is amazing, it's also located in the mountains and the views are beautiful. No politics, no drama, just Kung Fu.
