The Blade Ladder Tradition #chineseculture #ethnic #culturalheritage #blade #chinesetradition #miao

I'm just going to say I could 100% not do this

Manchus and Sibe had the same ritual as test for a new shaman

A true honoring of the master in his ascension by his devoted student. Also it is proof to master's spirit, and all others, the sacred teachings have been internalized enabling the student to be worthy of passing on generations of knowledge as the new Master. This is a ritual of passing that very few have ever seen even fewer have completed. I felt honored and humbled to be allowed to watch. Thank you❤

I have watched a movie where this was featured... OUCH!

I know it's someone's tradition but It doesn't make sense to continue this.

Whyyyyyyyyy!!!!!????????? NOOOOOOO!!!! Aghhhhh!!!!!!!!… AGAIN WHYYYYYYYYYY!!!???!???!???

How are those blades not getting covered in blood as they climb?

So cool,it's a real testament to the power of God!

It not only need courage, but also the sharpness of mind. He needs to understand how to step correctly so the blade doesn't cut him and stay focus the entire way. So cool.

This is ascension in the truest form 😂

How does he get down............

Ngiluu kakikuuu

Sharp blades, edge of the cliff, 36 ft tall ladder. Nope. 😵‍💫

😮

Callouses so thick it stops gravity's work

Uh...slide on the foot...ouch

Wow this looks absolutely terrifying at the same time as being beautiful

😬 the way the feet slipped in those sharp blades damm

That is crazy!

Blade can be pressed against without cutting you because the friction makes the cut not the contact. So to do this you need to steady youself, calm your steps, hold your grips, and do that on a ladder beside a cliff. It is not magic but masterclass of skill and self control.

Mouth was open the whole video😭

Traditional is sacred but this I think doesn't need to continue

Ngilunya sampai sini 😮

the way I flinched and curled my toes

just turn the ladder upside down

wow, that's a skill!

ohno not the bladder ladder

Truly 😮

Astagah.. nyeri hw liatnyaa.. debua dia maah... 😱😰😰

Skydiving but in reverse!
Same fear level 📈

Miao is Hmong people living in China. There are other Hmong in Thailand and Vietnam that have similar practices too.

remember people, blades cut when you slice not when you put pressure on them, unless it is razor sharp or you put a lot of forc in to it a sharp knife/sword wont cut you

All traditions involving the initiation are seen as wild, brutal and savage for western men, raised protected even from a tiniest treaths. I have no doubts on direction of that trajectory.
