The monks from the famous Shaolin temple in the Henan Province of China have for centuries been using meditation and physical exercises to enhance their physical capabilities to an outstandingly high level, which historically led to the development of martial arts such as kung fu. The Shaolin technique, practiced for over fifteen hundred years, is based on harnessing the body's vital energy known as Qi. The Shaolin show is comprised of extreme physical stunts performed by a group of monks and masters led by a 75-year-old Shaolin temple master and a group of young monks. The show includes interaction with the audience.
