SPECIAL EVENTS at the Symposium 2008
Master Li Martial Arts Film Night/Pajama Party – Friday Night – Texas Ballroom
The Honor of Dongfang Xu Join us for this unique, exciting evening. AOMA’s Master Li Jun Feng stars in this film, set during the early 1900’s. It tells the story of a gentle family man (Li Jun Feng) whose combined martial arts agility and Zen-master’s concentration lead him to be chosen to fight an “evil” Russian boxer. Bring your blanket and pillow, wear your jammies and join us for popcorn and beverages.
