Three weeks From April 2011 to May 2011

Abhishek (UK)

Encouraged a relaxed training atmosphere. He was attentive to all students individually. I found his teaching( Wingchun, Taichi, Qigong) easy to follow and feel comfortable asking questions. Approachable and at times authoritative. I feel privileged to have been taught by him.
Translators: James, Jenny, Sarah, Susan, Sophie
James was at the airport to meet us. He has been very helpful throughout, as have all the others. The mandarin classes were useful.
Training: I spent my three weeks to learn wingchun( plus optional Taichi, Qigong). Warm ups were ok, stretching good. Other stretching training is different, depending on group but it was good. I wish I could have learned Baji, but time didn¡¯t allow, students who have been here a while seem to progress well and use weapons. I would have liked to learn an animal form. The wingchun style I very much enjoyed my time.
Beautiful surroundings of Kunyu National Park, helps the atmosphere of the academy. Nice to walk around during time off. Mountain run is tiring but enjoyable! Daily life depends mostly on other students one spend time with. Three meals provided that, found fine, though I bought peanut, butter for breakfast. Excellent training facilities( traditional weights, acrobatics, sparring, conditioning)
Accommodation perfectly acceptable for 2 per room. Classes such as mandarin very enjoyable.
Shopping trip to Muping district we located. Good for grocery, shopping, bank, food, massage!

Neville Abbot(UK)

1¡¢Training Master and Translator at Kunyu mountain shaolin martial arts Academy
I thought the training and my shi fu were excellent. Personally, I feel my shi fu perfectly caring about everything which is great about kung fu. Although I will never be as good as my shi fu. He has given me something to aspire to!
All the translators are very friendly and speak very good English,overall, very impressed.
The academy is in a beautiful part of China. It is both isolated, but near enough to Muping and Yantai.
