KUNG FU is high-kicking its way around the county to encourage more young people to enter a competition to win a trip to China.

A free trial workshop will be run on Oxford's Barton and Wood Farm estates on the weekend of April 21-22, to try to interest young people.

The Taiji Gongfu Institute is offering several young people who show the potential to become kung fu champs the opportunity to win a trip to China.

The winners will be trained by a Shaolin Warrior monk and get to take part in a kung fu movie alongside a major martial arts film star.

A third workshop is planned at the Windrush Leisure Centre, in Witney, on Saturday and Sunday, March 31 and April 1. Anyone who would like to find out more can call organiser Lei Zhou on 07859 012576.
