Direct from China, Shaolin Kung Fu is set to captivate Australia with its high-octane kung fu mastery showcasing China’s most accomplished and spirited kung fu performers. Made famous by Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, the Shaolin style of kung fu dates back 1,500 years and brings with it the traditions, power and majesty of 32 dynasties of kung fu fighting.

Shaolin Kung Fu presents a dynamic mix of kung fu styles from weaponry using rods, three section staffs, fighting fans, lungchuans, knives and spears to choreographed animal-inspired fight scenes and meditative reflections. Each performance moves seamlessly into the next creating a heady mix of agility, flexibility, stamina and beauty. Set to an intoxicating soundtrack that mixes traditional Chinese songs with the modern beat of drums and rhythm, the action of Shaolin Kung Fu will have audiences transfixed from the very first beat.
