‘Ironhead’ is about a young football team which is gaining attention in China. Their method of playing football combines the traditional ball sport with elements of the ancient Chinese martial art. Training with elements of Kung Fu is meant to improve the players’ strength, condition and flexibility. Shi Yanlu, a Shaolin Kung Fu master and the founder of Kung Fu football, believes that this new training method could help lead China’s up-and-coming players to international recognition. A huge Kung Fu football school for 10,000 students is being built, funded with 200 million euros from a major Chinese company. What are the hopes and dreams of these young students?
