Do the Shaolin Monks still tour?

[MightyB]

Does anyone know if the Shaolin Monk performance team still does tours in the US? If not, how about the Beijing Wushu team? If the monks still tour, how does one find information about their performances or go about booking a show?

Thanks in advance,

The B.

On that 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' show they went to see them perform. So I would guess they still do. I'm not into CMA at all, but they did some cool things.

While I was in Henan this summer, I ate out a few times with their lead coach, he is a friend of a friend. He is a fantastic sanshou fighter, and he seems to expect all those under him to be the same, so regardless of what one thinks of their forms, I'd think twice before messing with his guys.

Actually, I never once met a martial artist under fifty there who didn't do sanshou.

...both officially and unofficially. See our Shaolin Shows near SF thread for more details. As for the BWT, they tour too when they can find sponsors. I think the last time they were in our area was the Flint Center show in Cupertino, November 2005. See Beijing Wushu Team 2005 Photo by Kevin Ho in our 2006 March/April issue.
