About forty thousand spectators were thrilled by the final show
from performers of the Shaolin Kung Fu at the Indoor Stadium in
Berakas two nights ago.
His Royal Highness Prince Abdul
Mateen and Her Royal Highness Princess Azemah Ni'matul Bolkiah
were among the spectators attending.
The thirty Kung Fu warriors,
dressed in their new dragon-red uniform, astonished the crowds
with their martial arts and fighting skills. Spectators were
able to see manoeuvres for all eighteen martial art weapons
required for a Shaolin master, which include broad sword,
crescent shuffle, the whip, spears and the double handed sword.
As usual, spectators were
fascinated by the monkey fighting techniques as well as the
martial art performance from a 6-year-old Shaolin warrior. New
skills and fighting techniques were also included in their final
performance for the Sultanate.
A special appearance was made
by the KACA children with their guardians, who had received 100
complimentary tickets given by the organiser. They even got the
chance to take a photo with the Shaolin troupe.
A big applause was given to the
astonishing thirty Shaolin warriors. It was indeed a successful
event and in the future, the organiser will try to bring in
other cultural events for the residents of Brunei Darussalam.
Yesterday, the Shaolin Kung Fu
troupe went on a tour at the Empire Hotel & Country Club
after their hectic 5-day show. Twenty-four martial art
performers with their instructors and team officials had a
relaxing time at the Pantai Restaurant.
The martial arts performers
will return today to the People's Republic of China for the
Chinese New Year.
