You can see the extreme speed of the Monk with all oh his kick controlling. He could have simply killed the TKD Fighter, but he held his kick back after his sudden burst of speed. Watch the video and judge for yourself, Shaolin Monks are insane.read more | digg storyBeejhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436753154427993803noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10538408.post-1163235088288668312006-11-11T02:51:00.000-06:002006-11-14T19:34:41.210-06:00Scrappin'Apparently from Summer Jam 2002 L.A.

A-Trak, the youngest ITF and DMC Champion ever who is also a member of the Turntablist supergroup, The Allies, is probably most famous nowadays as Kanye West's DJ.
