11 Warriors. Jackie Chan’s Long Yun Kung Fu Troupe

The production Eleven Warriors traces the history of martial arts – from the primal struggles for survival of early humans, when the first techniques of hand-to-hand combat and weapon use were formed, through the development of training methods designed to strengthen the body and cultivate character. In modern times martial arts have acquired a new form: a vivid artistic performance that blends traditional elements with contemporary stagecraft, embodying the philosophy, discipline, aesthetic values, and spectacle of Eastern culture.
