Shaolin Warriors

The performers were amazing in their synchronized and fluid movements and actions. The accompanying music sometimes could have been much better selected but the overall performance, I thoroughly enjoyed.

Amazing very high quality show and impressively fine audience many families with the most well behaved children I have ever seen. Many Asian people in the audience who obviously believe in love and discipline and appreciation for the fine art of the Shaolin Warriors. I would recommend seeing this show to everyone of all ages.

I thought it was an amazing event I saw something similar many years ago at the CNE but this was far better....The choreography and the way they defyed gravity so precisionly working as a cohesive force... Loved the interaction when they brought the kids on the stage brought the human element to their show...the costumes and fog created the perfect illusion. All in all great time and didn't hit the pocket book too hard...Would see them again...

Shaolin Warriors was an entertaining exhibition of the discipline and training of the Kung Fu disciples. From the masters to the youngest warriors, they all exhibited the mastery of Kung Fu. The audience participation was entertaining, especially the kids.

I was awed by the individual's proficiency of their talents. I kept saying " WOW" all the time. I especially loved the audience participation! The price of the tickets was well worth it...Mahalo!

It was an excellent show! Wish they done performance on the pillars though ~ that would've made it even more spectacular. Have recommended it to others.

The Shaolin Warriors were amazing. What discipline while also being unbelievable performers! It was a perfect mix of disciplined martial arts with graceful almost dance-like moves as the Shaolin Warriors moved in sync with each other. Entertaining for all ages and must see!

The show is a great time for young and old. We were in awe of the control and grace correographed into a colorful show of both individual and group skills demonstrating a shared spirituality that is fiercely action packed and makes for a most enjoyable and remarkably unique family outing.

True talent. Worth every penny. Audience participation was hilarious! Real life kung-fu movie. these guys are bad!

I loved the show but was a bit dissappointed, thought they were going to do their acrobats like the one that is in the picture but didnt but overall I enjoyed it.

I recognize the talent as far as the showing of martial arts movements but as a show i found it boring. too much audience participation and by the pictures i had seen and the way it was "sold" i expected a more memorable event. This was very theatrical and mostly about 15 men just running and jumping around on stage. I took my 3 teenage kids and boyfriend and it was a good experience to show them something different to every day tv shows but had hoped for WAY more amazing things and less waving arms and jumping. On posters and brochures it shows them balancing on pillars doing their moves and there was NOTHING even close to that in the show.

Action packed...very limber and strong performers. Amazing acts! Would go see again!!!

An excellent show combining strength, endurance, and tradition.

If you did not see this, then you missed a show of a lifetime because the action and style of these young men and older is one to really appreciate. You must see it to enjoy the art of the martial arts world.

I was very pleased with the show. I enjoyed the way they tied in their traditions within the performance as well. The thing I was pleasantly surprised to see was how they brought humor into the show. The part when they brought the children on the stage was a lot of fun to watch - hysterical! It really was a show in which anyone, any age could enjoy.

Great performance. Very impressive mix of discipline, endurance, mixed with some humor.

I took my 2 boys to the show as they have been invovled in karate for a number of years. It was wonderful how they blended dance and martial arts moves. The show was entertaining. Part dance, part circus, and part martial arts.

Very good performance. My entire family, two adults, one 10 girl and one 15 year boy, enjoy he show. In the middle of the show, they invited some audiances to come to the stage for some quick martial art learning. It was nice touch and very amusing.

They were fantastic. They did all the martial arts stuff that you would expect but they did it with a low key sense of humor and had good audience participation. They had the backdrop of the temple and conducted much of the show as a martial arts class. I taught another style for many years and appreciated how well they did things. The use of the two children was excellent.

Shaolin warriors was very entertaining. The sheer athleticism of the performers was breathtaking and the audience participation was like no other show i have ever been too. I highly reccomend this show to people of all ages.

My grandsons, who are a teen and early 20, were with me. The performance was awe inspiring for all of us, for all ages. There was such a serenity with calm control in each unique individual. My grandson is part Chinese., I so want him to be joyous in his roots. This was a great experience for his self realization. To watch these wonderful men and boys reach for perfection and actualize it , inspires me and my grandsons to reach higher.

The warriors were amazing. Strength and grace. The music was great in some stretches, poor in others. At one point one of the performers decided to skip a trick which had been all set up, and the music for it just ended with a screech. But the flexibility and mastery of their disciplines was awesome to watch. When one of the youngest warriors put a foot over his head, then fell into a rigid split, the entire audience gasped. When they brought audience members up onto the stage to participate, the Shaolin Warriors exhibited a great sense of humor and patience with their untrained 'volunteers.' One comment, there was little or no announcement to the audience, and at times we weren't sure what was going on. I was unsure of what to expect, but bought the tickets as a gift for someone who does karate. We went with open minds, and were pleasantly surprised.

It was physical, it was spiritual, it was entertaining! Many of the feats were unbelievable, and always exciting. The audience participation, especially with the the children, was great. Though much of the audience seemed to be experienced in martial arts, that was not the case for me. Nevertheless, I was totally drawn in from beginning to end. Highly recommended!

The overall show was spectacular. This time around they used the crowd as well, children and adults. The program explained a little more at the other performance though. My family and I really enjoyed ourselves. Great job Shaolin Warriors.

Some parts were very good. Overall very repetitive.

Excellent show. It's an impressive display of skill and committment to an ancient art form. I only saw one person drop their weapon. Seeing all of the animal forms was particularly interesting as well as the sparring, both with and without weapons. I couldn't help but wonder how many people there were actual practitioners of some martial art themselves, but it was amusing when they picked two of the larger guys out of the audience who apparently were not practitioners and attempted to teach them sparring. The fog and lighting was a nice touch and the fluidity of their movements was a true demonstration of their physical and mental control. I'm sure every kid that attended will be doing their own kata for weeks after standing up on stage with them. I'm sure we'll go to see them again and look forward to any new surprises they bring with them.

The program was spectacular and jaw-dropping amazing. It's as if the monks have defied the laws of gravity. They exhibited unbelievable kicks, leaping across the stage weightlessly. Their ability to withstand shock and force of objects hitting them is also quite impressive. Flexibility of the monks is also incredible. In all, a true extroardinary martial arts event that is also entertaining for the family, whether you are a student of martials or not. My favorite is the segment where the monks simulate the fighting styles of various animals (a Shaolin technique itself) -- tiger, crane, snake, drunken monkey.

I've seen a documentary about Shaolin Monks that train espceially for these tours and it was a welcomed opportunity to see them in person. They were wonderful with the audience; who knew such serious people could make a crowded room laugh at one moment and have us gaping in amazement in the next moment. I was amazed at their talent and control. I would recommend everyone to see them perform their brilliant art. My only slight complaint is that I'd like to have seen them on a larger stage so they could have performed more with the large props they use. (ie: those pylons in the picture). Still amazing with or without the pylons though. Truly a Class Act.

The Warriors were amazing to watch with their strength and flexibility. It was nice to see they had some humor and allowed audiance participation. Very entertaining!

This show was absolutely amazing! I took my Husband as a b-day present and both of us were amazed the entire show. it was definately worth it!

This show may have been good for a martial arts purist, but I was disappointed. Too few props were used, and the ones that were used were many times only simulated weapons. The backdrops were nice, but the clothing worn by the monks never changed. Too much of the show was repetitive bursts of the same movements. The same show could have been done 2000 years ago, which may appeal to some.

I went in not really knowing what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. The interaction of the troupe with the audience was really interesting. Kung Fu isn't so easy. Those guys earned my respect and my awe. If you have the time go see their show.

I truly enjoyed this show.

This is a great show for the entire family. The Shaolin Warriors are wonderful athletes and very entertaining. Take you children and the show will give them an introduction of another culture! The show is laid out in the framework of the seasons. Brilliant!

Great entertainment, a fun evening. Pulling people from the audience was an extremely entertaining addition. The agility, strength of these young men was unforgettable and would please children, adults and geriatrics, wishing they had the ability to bend and move with such preciseness and rhythm.

We really enjoyed this show! The choreography and martial arts skill was incredible. The stage props, lighting, and music really enhanced the performance. It was so serene and relaxing, felt like we were in China at the temples, observing. We left the show amazed!

Went expecting more acrobatics and martial arts. I realize they cannot be doing this all time, and have to take a break, but there was too much "filler" in the show. Bringing audience members on stage to have them "try" the stunts was not what I paid for. The show is geared more towards kids, not adults. Plastic weapons were used, and it was obvious. Also, there was none of what is pictured in their main photo (balancing on logs). Overall very disappointed, should've stayed at home and watched a Jackie Chan film.

If you haven't seen the Shaolin Warriors perform, you must! One of the most amazing shows ever! Bring the whole family and be thoroughly entertained!

what a humbling experience to watch...my 8 year old son loved it...they included audience participation for children on stage..the shaolin warriors' mobility and flexibility in their performance were so graceful, effortless, and truly amazing. i would recommend anyone of all ages to go and see them!

I've been intrested in the martial arts for many years, and found myself wanting to learn more. The Shaolin Monks have always peeked my intrest. They have a balance of their Mind, Spirit, and Body. And I can honestly say that it really showed in their performance. The connection they have with their KI, or CHI, was just amazing. It made everything very intense, and so flawless. I would love to see them again. I've watched the DVD, but watching them live is so much more worth it. Even if I weren't a pupil of the martial arts, they have a way of putting on a performance that keeps the audience wanting more. The energy they put out reflected back at them from the whole Concert Hall. You could just hear the "Wow" from everyone in the audience. Please bring them back!!!!!

Very entertaining! Awesome! Made me want to do kicks like them, or attempt to. Very nice of them to invite children to the stage.

Excellent production. They brought their discipline and dedication to the audience -- very heartwarming. Highly recommend this to others.

The show was great. The scene pictured of the monks balancing on poles wasn't performed, but there were plenty of incredible feats of strength, flexibility, and martial arts ability. I was not able to get the full effect of the show because the seating arrangement at the Neal Blaisdell Concert Hall sucks. I paid over $60 each ticket only to have a very tall guy with a big head sit in front of me. I would've had a better view from the $40 balcony seats.

Saw this 20 years ago . They were the real deal . These guys were acrobats and gymnasts at best . Looks like they signed to too many shows and were just going through the motions .

The show was WONDERFUL!!....My 11 yr. old son LOVED It!...Not one part of the show he didn't like. Very captivating and entertaining, with a tranquil setting. Would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our experience seeing Shaolin Warriors! The level of skill, focus and dedication these men have to their art is intense!!! Whether you are a Black belt in Martial arts or someone who has never trained, you will appreciate the talent on the stage and be entertained!!!

Seats were good, had an overall view of the stage...show could have been a little longer, was good not great

The show was amazing by showing the different weapons used and the amazing music that went along with the show.

I would have liked the production to give the audience some history of the warriors and the meaning of their moves. Also more and better scenery. With todays TV we see gymnasts, contortionists, break dancers, all sorts of Asian warrior moves. This show needed to have more meaning. We (3 of us) left at intermission.

Our 8 year agreed with us adults that the show was just OK. Maybe kids who do karate or the like would enjoy this more.

The show was about 2 hours too long. Only had maybe 5 minutes worth of intersting pr suspenseful acts. Lots of repetitive routines that didn't even seem very well rehearsed. Just boring.

My wife and I enjoyed the show. Very talented individuals and they personalized it with a little, but very memorable, audience participation.

Poorly done. Boring. Not worth even half what paid. The children were great

If you enjoy watching a bunch of dudes with shaved heads and robes sitting around and slowly moving their arms around like synchronized swimmers - this is the show for you. I kept hoping things would pick up, but sadly it didn't. Every now and then they would flail around quickly with plastic and rubber weapons but that was rarely seen. Imagine a Jackie Chan movie starring Jackie Chan 15 times with no jokes and the same bad acting. Their attempt at humor was having people from the audience try to do what they are doing. Of course audience members are not going to be able to keep up with the performers who have dedicated their whole lives to this so obviously they will be slow and need a ton of corrections - hilarious.- Not! If you want to see what 80% of the show is about, go to any karate studio and watch a group of kids follow the instructors every move in sync. No story, no rhyme or reason, no sets, 3 props, 1 backdrop. Yeah. I know. You've been warned.

We really enjoyed the show. The feats they performed were outstanding. We were truly amazed at the ability to almost stop or go into slow motion while in the air. One thing we would like to see added is some narrative telling the story of the young men starting out and their progression as they have grown. Also, the significance of the robe colors as they pertain to the different masters and their individual status. Overall, we loved the show.

Great show, looking forward to seeing more of them.

Was very happy to see a show quite this dazzling. The Shaolin Warriors did not disappoint. It was almost like watching a combination of dance, prayer, fighting, and balance. They even brought about 90 kids up on stage to teach them some moves.

I have my black belt in Karate. I have been wanting to see an exhibition like this and was excited to see it come to Topeka, Kansas. They performed many of the sets we perform in class. I was absolutely amazed at what they could do. The younger warriors were great!!!

The acrobatics and sheer physical stunts were amazing. The control and discipline that they show is unbelievable. The mix of Kung Fu and art make it a very enjoyable show.

Enjoyable, if you have children I highly recommend taking them to this event. It is a family must see.

I took my grandkids to see the Shaolin Warriors. We were all impressed. It was a great show.

Interspersed between average acrobatics and martial arts demonstrations, the Shaolin Warriors did demonstrate some breathtaking stunts - the man lying between a bed of sword blades and a bed of nails with another man laying on top of those double-sided nails with a stone slab on top of him that is shattered by a man welding a sludge hammer - and then there's the man with rock hard abdoman taking several pokes from heavy log - and more awsome was the man who placed the sharp point of a spear just under his collarbone and then used force from the weight of his body to bend the wooden shaft of that spear. Those were the highlights of the entertainment. The rest of the stuff, martial arts demonstrations, weapon welding demonstrations, some routine acrobatics, and a less than dramatic story line of a young boy training to be a warrior and his ultimate graduation, were all filler. It just wasn't worth the $112 per ticket (near stage) for the event.

The show takes you through the life and training, along with demonstrating fighting styles; the amount of stamina and agility that must be achieved in order to perform task of becoming a Shaolin warrior.

This show was awesome. My kids enjoy any moments sinse they are practicing shaolin martial arts ....they saw now the real warrior performen and they realize they need to keep practicing....

Dramatic and intense with light-hearted moments which included calling all children up onto the stage for a demonstration. The depth of their meditation and spirituality is deep and primal. The physical skill amazing. So powerful and graceful. A gift for the eyes, mind and soul.

Show was fun and interesting.Lots of people in it . They involved the fans several times, which was fun .

They only preformed one night in San Antonio, a school night. We took our 10 year old son. The show was suppose to start at 7:30, it started at 7:45. It is two hours long, plus parking etc. It was a very late night for a 5th grader- but he loved it and overall it was worth it. I do recommend the show for older kids 8+.

This was a very cool show. They brought audience members up on stage. The amount of physical control these guys have over their bodies is ridiculous. It definitely helps to have some knowledge of Kung Fu before you go, as there is no explaination of what is going on. I mean, when the guy puts the spears to his throat you get it. But some of the appreciation for what you're seeing will be lost if you don't have some background info. Fascinating from a cultural perspective. The Shaolin are very cool people. Beautiful. Hard to believe people can do that stuff.

I was transfixed for the whole 2 hours and then I finally remembered to breath.

We went to this performance last night and were amazed. What an absolutely beautiful performance and we could have watched for hours! The complete discipline they have and absolute dedication was incredible to watch. There were two young boys in the show and they were wonderfully entertaining. We just loved the show and so glad we had the opportunity to go to see this performance. Worth every penny and more, was a great evening and these men should be very proud that they display this ancient art with such beauty.

An amazing experience. My children were mesmerized and loved every second of it. The choreography was wonderful and the physical feats would have been unbelievable had they not happened right before my eyes. We are a family of martial artists and found the show awe inspiring.

The mastery of the internal and external Kung Fu by these men ( and boys) is beyond amazing. If my own mastery of Kung Fu approaches even a quarter of theirs, I will consider my training successful. You must see these Warriors, whether you study martial arts or not.

The acrobatic maneuvers and skills demonstrated by this group were fantastic. The imagery was beautiful. The group engaged the audience and made for an overall entertaining experience.
