About the Show: www.cpaap.com/shaolin.htm
Acclaimed across the globe, the Shaolin Warriors captivate and amaze as they display an awe-inspiring
combination of martial arts, contortion, acrobatics and incredible athletic skills as they weave an enchanting
storyline that reflects their ancient philosophy and traditions. Shaolin Warriors Legendary Masters of Kung-
Fu is more than a kung fu show. The four scenes of summer, autumn, winter and spring depict the
philosophical theory of the life cycle of Buddhism and vividly show the rarely-seen temple like of Shaolin
monks; their Buddhist meditation, as well as their martial arts training during the coldest and hottest times of
the year
The Shaolin Warrior Troupe might be steeped in Zen Buddhist philosophy, but that doesn't mean you should
mess with its members: It's not for nothing that their kung fu tradition has been at the center of Chinese
martial arts culture for more than a millennium. The masters' butt-kicking, amazingly graceful hand-to-hand
combat and weaponry skills are on display in a performance that's part action flick, part Cirque du Soleil. The
show is mainly dance, with the monks showing their skills in balance and coordination. One of the underlying
themes in the show is how the monks can defend themselves with their bare hands but also with everyday
objects from their lives - staffs, sticks, even their begging bowl.
