We Need a Show!!!

I think back over the years and there had always been an occassional performance of interest that I could recommend to my kung fu students. There used to be more excitement and energy around promotion of kung fu within our community. Some interesting shows from over the years have been:

• Performances by the Shaolin Monks (first few times)
• Jackie Chan fundraiser
• Masters of Kung Fu Performance
  
• Chun Yi: The Legend of Kung Fu
• Friendship Tournament - Local students competing against monks!!!!
  
• Don't remember the name but it was a weapons demo with performances from around the world
  

It seems that we have gone a long time without something like this. There are always performances that you can attend but they are usually 1 or 2 schools doing some free performances to promote their schools. I think it is about time for one of the kung fu federations to get motivated and put on a large performance that is properly promoted in a significant venue. The community seems to be in need of something other than a few annual tournaments and a bunch of schools doing demos. We need a show!!!
