Flexibility to a whole new level: Shaolin Style.

How did that guy's head get under his legs? I'm still not sure, but it sure was amazing. We went to this one temple about an hour outside of Hong Kong one evening. When we were there we found out that the Shaolin monks were visiting this temple, and would be putting on a show the next day at 1:00. Well we just had to go see this, so we made our way back the next day. It was well worth the journey! These kids were amazing. They ranged in age from about 6 to 15, and wow were they good. I guess that is what happens when you train all day every day to be flexible, strong, and fast. It was quite funny after the show, when the oldest one came over to take pictures with us. This, however, wasn't his motive for coming over. They were selling these DVDs to raise money. One was a strength training, Shaolin style video, and the other was a demo video with all their crazy stunts on it. Needless to say we were on a pretty strict budget, and paying $20 for a DVD wasn't in the budget. Posted by Picasa
