Shaolin monks are famed for their fighting skills and unique talents. One thing you might not know about them though is their amazing ability to run across water. Seriously. It’s a special and ancient Chinese martial art stunt, known as ‘Shuishangpiao’.<\/p>\n
Recently, 33 year-old Shaolin monk Shi Liliang from Southern Shaolin Temple broke\u00a0the world record for the discipline. He ran on the surface of a long row of one centimeter thick (that’s exactly 0.39 inch) plywood boards for 125 meters (or 410 feet). The physics-defying effort took place on the banks of a\u00a0reservoir on the outskirts of Quanzhou, in the Fujian province of China<\/a>.<\/p>\n Being able to run across the two hundred floating plywood boards is almost impossible. But somehow, with his Shaolin training<\/a>, concentration and dedication, Liliang manages it.<\/p>\n Watch this amazing feat for yourself and be amazed:<\/p>\n
