Just came back from the show. It was at the *** Hill Masonic Center. I don't think they have a schedule, as this was there first performance in the US I believe. Had to order tickets in advance

Good show, but the actual performance was kinda short. Best part of the performance was the stomach punching and ball kicking contest, where audience members get to punch a monk in the stomach and/or kick one of the monks in the ***** Was funny cause one of the guys that punched the monk took Karate for several years and he said he hurt his fist lol. This other guy was maybe a black belt in something (had on a yellow uniform with black belt) and kicked the monk pretty hard in the ***** 3 times Everybody cringed when he kicked him After the 3 kicks, the monk says "That's it? You didn't kick hard enough" lol trust me, he kicked hard

On other news, HK actor Simon Yam (may have seen him in Tomb Raider 2) was also there :banana:

Took my gf's parents to see the show but didnt actually go in with them. I see the Shaolin Monks in Beijing last summer and the show was epic. How about the two finger hand-stand / push-up?

Monkey dance is pretty gnarly too

Looks like I missed it. I didn't even know about it. Those guys are crazy. I feel sorry for whoever messes with those monks.
