    Martial Arts Comedy 'Jump' Going Off-Broadway

    A popular Korean non-verbal show is going Off Broadway this fall.

    After a two-week preview starting late September, the comedy "Jump" will kick off an open run on Oct. 7 at the Union Square Theatre in New York.

    The 90-minute show is about an eccentric Korean family all trained in the martial arts, who use their skills to deal with burglars who break into their home.

    The show's combination of martial arts, acrobatics, and slapstick comedy has been well-received in Europe and Asia.

    Producers are working on modifications to the performance to cater to American audiences.

    This is the second time a Korean production will be showing Off Broadway following "Nanta" or "Cookin'" which opened there in 2002.

    Default Name Dropping

    Our dojo is in a dance studio that is well known among the Broadway community and used for show rehearsals. Two weeks ago and for several days, Bono and the Edge were next door to us rehearsing for Spiderman the Musical, an upcoming new show they are putting together. Sensei admits that he could not stop thinking about them during Kihon.

    Jump is well worth seeing.....

    We had a dojo visit to see it when it was here in London (about 12 of us from my branch went to see it).
    A good use of a couple of hours, and a great opportunity for a bit of kenshi bonding......
