I started my journey a little over fifteen months ago now (it certainly doesn’t seem that long).  Probably like most people arriving at the academy. I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect.
The students, translators and masters were all very welcoming. The academy itself was very large in terms of training, plenty of space both outside and inside the large training hall. The scenery including the mountains and lake were absolutely stunning, swimming in the lake after a hard day’ s training was very welcoming. The rooms were ample size for two persons with the usual furniture and fittings. The rooms themselves have had a major overhaul since I have been here. They are  newly painted and new wooden dummy (very satisfied)  In fact, there have been major changes since I have been here. New rooms, new showers, dining hall, just to mention a few. You can see that the money from the students is put back into academy.
The training itself was first class. I was taught by Master Guo in Wing Chun, Baji, Qigong and  Taichi. He always had a smile and was very patient with students. Having trained a little with Master Qu (Mantis Master) He also had a very excellent character and was very patient. Since I  have been here, I have not heard anything negative about the masters and working staff.
Over the fifteen months I have been here, my martial arts and character have changed for the positive. It has not all been plain sailing. But sat here now reflecting on my time, the few complaints I have made seem very trivial now. If you come here expecting really good training and accommodations, you will be very pleasantly surprised.

SHAMIR RAVEL  ( England)

Took part in the “2009 Mantis Fist Wine” Cup International Martial Arts Festival Opening Ceremony and received a gold medal in Sanda against a Russian competitor.

I stayed at Kunyu Mountain for 10 months, but initially signed up for 3 months. The only reason I  stayed as long as I did was because of the scientific training plan here and my great Master Guo.
The academy has had many great improvements such as showers, washing rooms and cooks. The food used to be not very good especially for the vegetarians, however, now it has greatly been improved because of the new cooks. Money still has to be spent on basics such as windows and doors in the small training hall, but I have no doubt that this will be done before this winter sets in.  Overall, I really have enjoyed my time although it takes some time to improve the standards.
Fortunately, all the masters are always happy to listen to and help.
