I recently bought the video of the Shaolin "Wheel of Life" tour that is currently on it's second extended run here.
I must say I was shocked! I was expecting at worst a competent display of modern wushu, but they were terrible! They were acrobats, with no martial skills whatever! I've tried, and I'm simply unable to throw a punch as badly as they did. Their fighting demonstrations were laughable, and their 2 man weapon work showed a complete lack of understanding (doing a head on hard block with a straight sword against a 9 ring chopper doesn't work! ). They're supposed iron body demonstrations consisted of parlour tricks, and there's simply only so long you can watch acrobatics for.
And the sleeve proudly proclaimed: "Ordained monks from the shaolin temple"
I've seen 10 year olds with more skill.
