Shaolin Monks
Saw the “Shaolin Kung Fu Monks” last night at the Entertainment Centre. Some incredible stuff there, and even more so when you realise these people have not learnt these skills with the intention of performing them (as opposed to circus workers who learn their skills for the sole purpose of performing them). Of course, the performances the monks put on was made much more “showy” so as to entertain an audience. I wonder what it must be like for them to perform to western music? And although it was really enjoyable, it just felt sorta wrong that they’re now performing for money in a foreign land, which I think, goes against tradition.
