The Legend... When China's Cangzhen Temple is destroyed 350 years ago, only five young warrior monks survive. Each is named after a different animal--Tiger, Monkey, Snake, Crane, Dragon--for each is the youngest-ever master of that animal's kung fu fighting style.

The five young monks separate and begin teaching not only their formidable martial arts skills, but also their peaceful philosophy of life. It is said that today's martial arts come from the teachings of these five young warrior monks, who must uncover the secrets of their own pasts if they are to become... The Five Ancestors.
