Warrior monks from the mythic temple of Shaolin, the cradle of Kung-Fu, will offer here a martial arts exhibition which will coincide with the beginning next July 11 of the Chinese Culture Festival in Cuba.
The show, expected to take place in the Karl Marx Theater, is part of a tour around Latin American countries of a group of members of the most famous martial arts school in the world.
The exhibition will also include students from the Cuban Wushu Schoolm founded in 1985 by professor Roberto Vargas Lee, which got in 2005 the first collective place at the World Taijiquan Conference for Health, which took place in Hainan, China.
