Red Theatre Legend of Kungfu Show – Beijing Night Performance

Main Info

Chinese martial arts, often named under the umbrella terms kung fu and wushu, are the several hundred fighting styles that have developed over the centuries in China. These fighting styles are often classified according to common traits, identified as “families”, “sects” or “schools” of martial arts. Examples of such traits include Shaolinquan physical exercises involving Five Animals mimicry, or training methods inspired by Old Chinese philosophies, religions and legends. Styles that focus on qi manipulation are called internal, while others that concentrate on improving muscle and cardiovascular fitness are called “external”. Geographical association, as in northern, is another popular classification method.

I was really excited to see the Kungfu show at the Red Theatre, but I recently checked and found out that they have stopped the performances. It’s disappointing because I was looking forward to experiencing the legendary martial arts performance. Does anyone know if there are any plans to bring the show back or if there are alternative venues offering similar performances?

I saw Legend of Kungfu at Red Theatre before the pandemic, and it was amazing! The martial arts were incredible, and the whole show had such great energy. It was a perfect mix of action and storytelling. Hopefully, it’ll be back soon!
