Video – Shaolin monk knocked out by amateur boxer at combat sports event in China

Shaolin monks are usually the badass characters of mixed martial arts films but at a rather unique event in China, one was the subject of embarrassment.

Taking place in the Chinese province of Guangdong on April 7, a kung fu boxing championship event held at a local shopping mall featured amateur pugilist Ah Jun squaring off with Shi Yongjun, a man who claimed to be a Shaolin monk. Things quickly turned disastrous for Shi as he suffered two knockdowns and was ultimately knocked out in a matter of minutes.
