Kung Fu Masters - Season 1

The newborn child is given the name Hoffen and appears a bit naughtier than his peers. Hoffen also has a couple feisty neighbors: two wily weasels named Long-Mouth and Big-Eye. One night, Hoffen sets a trap for the two intrusive neighbors, but unfortunately, the trap causes one of the fishing boats to set on fire.

Hoffen goes missing during his parent's escape. He sneaks back to the sacrificial altar while the weasels sneak back in the village to steal food. At the altar, an agitated Nian attacks Hoffen. The Kitchen God brings Hoffen and the little rat Rascal to hide from Nian. The Kitchen God begins to tell Hoffen that he is a special being before hiding him and his parents away.

Hoffen and Rascal think over how to escape. Hoffen finds a talisman that Kitchen God gave Rascal can be transformed into a flying teapot. Nian's pawns are busy looking for Hoffen.

Long-Mouth and Big-Eye follow Hoffen to the village, where there is a Kung Fu competition. Hoffen walks in the arena without knowing it's a competition. Hoffen is confronted by three bulky bears when a tiger appears to save him. Hoffen starts to follow the tiger, hoping this is his master, one of the Circle of Twelve.

The two weasels soon find they are absolutely no match for the child who is now under the protection of a Kung Fu tiger. Long-Mouth and Big-Eye turn to the three bears, together know as the Three Bruisers of Beiling. The weasels claim that the tiger has a book of martial arts called Diamond Fist. Hoffen, eager to know the whereabouts of the Sacred Animal, practices hard with Fierce.
