THE SHAOLIN WAHNAM INTERNATIONAL SHOW
AT SIFU WONG CHUN NGA'S WEDDING CEREMONIES
The Spanish Version of White Crane Flaps Wings
Shaolin Wahnam family members from various countries presented an International Show at Sifu Wong Chun Nga's wedding dinner.
Switzerland
Leading the show is the Shaolin Wahnam Switzerland team with their traditional cow bells which are rung for happy occasions. These cow bells are also traditionally used to expel or banish unwanted things. This banishing is the reason the Swiss have brought the cow bells all the way to the wedding. By sounding them, all bad things and evil spirits are banished from the newly wedded, thus ushering in a marriage full of joy, health and happiness.
