Shot in high definition, we tried our best to be true to the spirit of the arts, and show the beauty, speed and power of traditional kung fu without the gimmicks that characterize most martial arts films and documentaries.

If you are interested in traditional martial arts, please check out the film as part of the competition which runs until the 8th of June.

The winning film gets screened at the final night of the Seattle Film Festival, which would be amazing for a martial arts documentary! We want to spread the word as far as possible to martial arts communities around the world, as we made the film for people whom appreciate traditional fighting arts.
