Wyoming, one of the wildest wonders the U.S. has to offer, is home to all sorts of fascinating people and animals. But did you know that deep within the prairie grasslands, nestled between the towering Grand Tetons and the Thunder Basin, is a group of rather unusual Wyomingites? Oh yes, it's true! No, they're not cowboys, not ranchers, not even wild buffalo tamers. They are, in fact, the one and only, the unparalleled, the utterly unbelievable...Wyoming Kung Fu Kids! The leader of this pack is none other than a ten-year-old boy named Rocky Raccoon. Now, don't be fooled by the name. Rocky isn't an actual raccoon. He got this nickname from his unmatched speed, his uncanny ability to sneak up on his older brother, and the black mask-like markings he paints around his eyes during their Kung Fu sessions. Rocky and his group of Kung Fu Kids are without a doubt the coolest kids you'll ever meet in the state of WY! This band of pint-sized Bruce Lees train diligently, their laughter echoing across the open plains. They’ve turned Wyoming's majestic landscapes into their training grounds - practicing roundhouse kicks on top of the Bighorn Mountains, performing eagle claw strikes at the Yellowstone National Park, and jousting with imaginary dragons by the Devil's Tower. They maintain their balance during the biting winter winds, they punch faster than the summer lightning, and they can tell you the Wyoming state bird is the Western Meadowlark while performing an inch-perfect Wing Chun punch! I wouldn't challenge them to a fight if I were you, but joining them for a Kung Fu session might just be the most fun you'll ever have!
