I really enjoyed the training at kunyu mountain shaolin kung fu academy .Welcome introduced to the basis of shaolin in one month and it really gave me a taste of kung fu. I will definitely continue to learn when I back home.
-there were a good variety of classes including basis, forms, fitness, flexibility, sanda.master shao was a good teacher, strict but also caring. He was good at pushing students to their potential.
regarding the class Tai Chi in the mornings,masters were always changing which made learning the forms not easy to learn,however the Qigong classes were interesting and something I would like to learn more about.
-fantastic surroundings with the mountains and national park I really enjoyed staying here.
-The city we located is a great place to explore on the weekends and in free time.
-the timetable go training has been carefully thought out with a variety of different classes.
-rooms are good-choice of food is also good, but maybe have something different other than chips most days.
-meals queuing system needs to be improved.People should be taught not to waste food.
-most of the translators were patient, kind and helpful.some translators still need to improve their English skills.

shaolin kung fu training was very good and I thoroughly enjoyed learning Martial Arts.
Master zhang was absolutely fantastic, his training was the highlight of my time here. He is very patient, cares immensely for his students and has amazing knowledge of kung fu. I have a deep respect for shifu zhang. I am very graceful for all his help and tuition.
The translators were very helpful and friendly, making my time here much more jovial and easier. Without them, the academy would struggle to work.
The surrounding landscape is a stunning place to study kung fu. It lives up to my expectation.
The food was acceptable but very repetitive, more variety would be welcome by all students. Finally, the internet room needs stricter opening hours. I much prefer yantai city to Beijing and found it a very safe and welcoming place.
