Produced by Chinese martial arts legend Jackie Chan, “Wushu” is a film about five children training to be martial art masters.

The film was shot at a real martial art school, and it showcases the combat skills of award winning competitors.

Three of these young martial artists, Liu Feng-Chao, Wang Wen-Jie and Wang Fei - were in Hong Kong on Friday to promote the film along with lead actor Samo Hung.

To give everyone a taste of the action in the movie - this new generation of Kung Fu stars showed off their Wushu skills, including their double-swords, whips and sticks.

Wang Fei, Actress, said, "I have practiced martial art for more than ten years. I am a professional, and I like to act, so I was happy to do it even though it was exhausting. I am delighted to do my work."

The film was shot at a real martial art school, and it showcases the combat skills of award winning competitors.

Set in a remote part of China, Samo Hung, who started his action film career along with Jackie Chan, plays the Kung Fu master.

Both Hung and Chan are now watching the younger generation show off the skills which made them famous decades ago.

Samo Hung, Actor, said, "Opportunity is crucial. Because an action film is not mainstream, there's a bigger opportunity for a star to be born out of an action film. If the script, director's method and everything is set for the right person, then they are more likely to succeed."

In the movie, a girl trained in Wushu catches the eye of teenage boy, who decides to become a champion to win her affection.

“Wushu” first premiered at this year's Cannes film festival.
