Synopsis
Shaolin disciple Sing uses soccer to spread kung fu philosophy worldwide, forming a Shaolin team.
Young kung fu adept "Sing" is an honor bound disciple of the legendary Shaolin Temple. His sole goal in life is to find a way to package the philosophy and physical teachings of his beloved Shaolin kung fu so that contemporary masses can learn, benefit and apply these doctrines to their daily life. When he hooks up with a former soccer champion, he quickly realizes that the world's most popular sport may just be the vehicle to spread Shaolin kung fu all over the globe. But first he must assemble a team worthy of the Shaolin name. (Source: Just Manga)
