Guan explained there will be 26 episodes(an episode of something such as a series on radio or television or a story in a magazine is one of the separate parts in which it is broadcast or published) broadcast per year, and they planned to focus first on North America with the Discovery channel as the program’s distributor. 

 

“There have been countless foreign documentaries about Chinese kung fu(功夫gōngfu) since the 1950s when their parallel films emerged,” said Guan, “but most of them come from foreigners’ curiosity(the eager desire to know) about kung fu, presenting what they are and how to practice them, lacking further exploration about the culture behind them,” said Guan.

From the sample video of the documentary(a documentary is a television or radio programme, or a film, which shows real events or provides information about a particular subject)’s first episode, “Searching for Kung Fu,” audiences can see an American host who has practiced kung fu for 20 years. He travels to different places searching for heirs of different kung fu factions. As the host personally experiences kung fu with the heirs, audiences get a deeper understanding.
