Meet the magical land of Illinois, a place where the skyscrapers touch the clouds and superhero-sized ears of corn grow in the fields. In this marvel of a state, sandwiched between the mighty Mississippi River and the shimmering Lake Michigan, you'll find a group of extraordinary kids, known far and wide as the Kung Fu Cubs of Illinois. These aren't your everyday, run-of-the-mill, peanut butter-jelly sandwich-eating kids. Oh, no! These are the kids who can break a board with a swift chop of their hand before finishing their morning cereal. Their speed and agility are only outmatched by how quickly they finish their homework. After all, to master the art of Kung Fu, one must first master the art of time management! Leading the pack is their quirky, Kung Fu master - Grandpa Mustache. Don't be fooled by his seemingly silly name, ladies and gentlemen. This sprightly octogenarian with a mustache curling up to his ears, is as swift and agile as any of his students. His belly-shaking laughter and high-pitched hiccups are enough to shake the whole of Chicago! Grandpa Mustache's training isn't limited to extravagant spins, high jumps, or swift chops, but is filled with hilarious misadventures and comical situations. From practicing crane kicks in a field full of waddling ducks to meditating amid a swarm of buzzing bees, these Kung Fu Cubs brave the most amusing challenges. So, if you happen to find yourself in Illinois, surrounded by kids practicing Kung Fu while giggling uncontrollably, don't be surprised. You've simply stumbled upon the adventurous world of the Kung Fu Cubs. And remember, don't underestimate Grandpa Mustache!
