The monks of Shaolin Kung Fu: The masters return in 2025 - 24 cities full of power and magic
After almost 39,000 enthusiastic spectators in eight European countries witnessed the extraordinary skills of the Shaolin monks in 2024, the phenomenon returns in 2025 and will once again bring the magic of Shaolin Kung Fu to life in 24 German cities. This return is not only a continuation of their remarkable legacy, but also an opportunity to experience the history and impressive skills of the Shaolin monks up close once again. Under the guidance of a senior master, the monks presented a captivating combination of physical art, traditional weapon fighting and deep-rooted Zen philosophy during their 2025 anniversary tour. The 2025 tour will continue this tradition and build on the great response of previous years.
Over the past 30 years, more than five million people on five continents have marveled at the mystical powers of the Shaolin monks at more than 6,000 performances and numerous TV shows. On the upcoming 2025 tour, the best masters and shamis (students) from the Shaolin monastery will once again present the high art of kung fu and qigong. The Shaolin monks are known worldwide for their unwavering dedication to the preservation of Chinese culture and their outstanding physical skills. In a two-hour show, 19 of the best masters and shamis, led by a senior master, will demonstrate their incredible physical skills. With breathtaking precision and masterful control of qi, the energy of the body, they break stone slabs, pierce glass with needles and perform seemingly impossible physical feats.
This special performance is more than just a show - it is a respectful attempt to bring the millennia-old tradition of the Shaolin monastery and the secrets of Zen Buddhism closer to young and old alike. Accompanied by captivating footage from the sacred Song Shan mountain and the original temple, the 2025 tour once again offers in-depth insights into the life and training of the monks. Show producer Herbert Fechter, who has been presenting the original Shaolin masters, students and monks worldwide since 1995, has once again put together a spectacular show that transports the audience into a world full of secrets, discipline and physical feats. The tour, which comes to Germany in spring 2025, offers fans the opportunity to experience this incomparable performance live.
The direct involvement of the audience creates a unique experience and opens up a new perspective on the fascinating world of Chinese monks. This interaction intensifies the understanding of the mystical powers and the masterful control of Qi and the kung fu art of the Shaolin monks in an unprecedented way.
