Kung Fu star hits Capital

Kung Fu master and Daoist priest Yuan Xiu Gang is to visit Edinburgh on his first trip to Europe.

Master Yuan, who appeared in last year's Karate Kid movie with Jackie Chan, began training in martial arts at the age of just seven.

He now runs his own Kung Fu school at Wudang Mountain in China.

He will meet and work with secondary school children in the Capital, as well as making two public appearances.

He will talk at St John's Church on Princes Street on January 14 at 7pm and give an open class the following day at 10am.
