Body Folding Kung Fu With a Master

For the past 50 years, kung fu master Li Liangui has contorted his body into seemingly impossible positions while practicing one of China's strangest martial arts. The 70-year-old is an expert in suogugong—or body-shrinking kung fu—in which practitioners perform dislocations to help them achieve incredible positions and contortions. But this is not a simple story of pair bonding. Liangui is one of the last suogugong masters in the world and his ability to endure pain has given him the flexibility and bones of a 30 year old.
