A Shaolin Master, A Muslim, A Buddhist and a Mascot.
All gathered together in Lumpini Park down town Bangkok Thailand. The Shaolin Master along with a group of his students from the Shaolin Academy in Thailand put on an hour show of brilliant Kung Fu moves wowing the audience.Many of the parks  Thi Chi practitioners stopped their practice as did the joggers to watch these young men fly through the air performing a series of  Kung Fu katas.
Kung Fu is a Cantonese term meaning martial art also known as Wu Shu.
As the show ended at 7AM I mingled with the Master and his crew. No one spoke English, just Cantonese and Thai but before long I understood they had invited me to eat with them. That photo will be up-loaded soon.
These guys are very polite and professional and when it comes to their profession they are as serious as a heart attack ! 
Photos are taken hand held, Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 wide angle lens .. No processing, straight out of the camera.
