Meet the kung fu family from Temple London!
In Cheshunt, a town of 45,000 people a dozen miles north of London's city center, there is a Chinese-style temple for people who love practicing martial arts. The owner is Matt Jane, a Londoner who went to China at 16 to train for five years as a Shaolin warrior in the mountains of central China's Henan Province.
Matt, also known as MJ, or "The Modern Shaolin", and his wife Chun, "The Kung Fu Mom," have won international renown through appearances on TV shows such as "America's Got Talent" and its British equivalent.
In addition, they have drawn millions of fans around the world through social media videos featuring jaw-dropping feats like standing on iron rods or cracking bricks on a bare head.
"The world is so much more open given social media, and the power and wisdom of kung fu can be spread across the world," MJ tells CGTN Europe. "I'm very happy to be one of the individuals to help spread this culture, which has helped change my life and in turn can help change other people's lives too." http://t.cn/A6NEiJGb
