SEARCH FOR THE NEXT BRUCE LEE IS ON
Thousands expected to register for worldwide Kung Fu Idol competition.
South London based Shaolin Culture school of Martial Arts is launching its Registration internet pages for all UK hopefuls wishing to enter the European heats of “K-Star”, the first ever Chinese Kung Fu Star Global TV Competition, hosted by Shenzhen Satellite TV and the Shaolin Temple Culture and Communications (Dengfeng) Co. Ltd.
The regionals in Germany will be held over the period of 21st-25th May 2006. Those skilled enough to progress through to the finals in the famous Shaolin Temple in China will get the chance to spar with the orange-robed Shaolin monks of the “Wheel of Life” fame.
There, the judging panel will comprise famous Hollywood stars Jackie Chan and Jet Li and the winners of the competition will be entitled roles in a TV series featuring Shaolin Kung Fu and a Hollywood film “The Legend of the Monk Soldiers”, which describes the Temple monks fighting against invading Japanese during the Ming Dynasty (1386-1644). There will also follow a series of other works.
“One of the most important goals of the competition is to showcase Chinese kung fu culture and is also a good attempt to develop this cultural legacy and promote it to the world,” says SHI YONG XIN, abbot of the SHAOLIN TEMPLE.
All UK entries must be registered through Shifu Yang of Shaolin Culture school through its website www.shaolinculture.co.uk/K-Star before 12th May 2006 in order to guarantee a place in the European regional heats. The show is open to all Martial Artists.
