Description
Over 350 years ago in China, five young warrior monks escaped a brutal attack on their temple. Each monk specialised in a different style of "animal" kung fu. As the young monks scrambled to stay one step ahead of their attackers, they spread the non-violent, philosophies as well as teaching specific fighting skills for defence. Their teachings are rumoured to be the foundation for many martial arts systems and for this reason these young monks are known as The Five Ancestors. In this second action - packed instalment of the series, Malao - young, fun-loving, Monkey Style kung fu master - finds himself with a troop of wild monkeys. But can he learn how important it is to take life seriously?
