i think we're all forgetting something here... Monks are healers, not fighters

I agree with Fire Wolf. You would not believe some of things these monks can do. Ive seen them thrusting their hands into hot ashes, they train their bodies to deal these kinds punishment. I doubt muay thai guy would stand a chance against a real shaolin monk.

I thought Monks only used self defense if they were attacked...

This seemed like a choreographed demonstration more so than an actual sparring match it all seemed to controlled and the blocks and attacks were too conveniently executed to suggest it was a random sparring match.

They seemed pretty even to me. It isn't like the TKD guy was shocked or out of breath, he was just as calm and controlled as the Monk. Two masters of different styles in a spar match shows how different and yet alike the two styles are.

Watch the TKD guy closely, in that style we're taught to try to evade more than anything else. Instead of blocking, he does tries to outright evade all the monks technique, wait for an opening and then counter.

The monk on the other hand is blocking every attack, his strategy is to take the force from his opponents kicks and tire him out more quickly. He uses his palms instead of his wrist and forearm, that way he could apply pressure in the opposite direction of the kick making the TKD guy use more energy to try and damage him.

They were both very good, though I have to admit that monks spend a lot more energy in their attacks than those trained in TKD. I noticed this mostly in his blocking style, there's lots of movement (Jumping and so on) which really isn't totally necessary. I'm sure the monk was doing it for the camera though, in a real fight both fighters would conserve their strength for finishing moves... Sadly, real martial arts fights aren't like the movies. They're over fairly quickly.

its not hard to look good when you both agree to play by traditional standup martial arts rules.

Amazing speed and reflexes from the monk, the tai boxers looked like amateurs compared to him.

@ Ninjzz way at the top:

They choose to be monks. Not everyone has to follow the norm and be like everyone else where they slave away every single day doing the same mundane task everyday just to make money to live in this world. That's what I'm about to do after graduating from college this year and I don't think I'm much looking forward to it. In fact, I've been considering dropping everything and become a monk. I'm not religious persay, but these people do know how to spend their life. Not joining the rest of the fucked up world, but instead dedicating themselves to their solitude and peace. I'll tell you it looks a lot more inviting than trying to struggle and make it anywhere in this world.

I know that my views about any of this might be pretty distorted or completely wrong, so I apologize ahead of time...
