STORY OVERVIEW

Dragon Tiger Gate is a martial arts academy established by three young fighters who were raised under the guidance of kung fu master Wong Jianglong. Dragon Wong, Tiger Wong, and Turbo Shek each have their own reasons for following the martial arts path, but their lives become connected through the conflicts surrounding the academy and the criminal forces threatening those around them.

When Dragon and Tiger discover that they are brothers separated in childhood, their reunion becomes tied to a larger battle against the powerful Luosha Gate and its deadly fighters. As the conflict escalates, the three martial artists must combine their skills and face increasingly dangerous opponents in a series of spectacular battles.
