Shaolin &Sanda (Chinese kick boxing)class
I spent three months to learn Shaolin Kung fu&Sanda at Kunyu mountain Shaolin martial arts academy. I was so impressed with Master Shou¡¯ s training that I decided to stay .
He was very good at showing and explaining each punch and kick of Sanda/Chinese kickboxing, especially the side kick that I had so much trouble with for nearly 2 months. Within a few days my side kick was 100 times better and continued to improve. His sanda class was also extremely good. He pushed us very hard physically and concentrated a lot on techniqe . Under his tuition my staff form went from feeling very uncomfortable and unnatural and slow and disjointed to feeling fast and powerful and rhythmic. I do it with confidence now and knowledge of the applications.
His teaching of grabs and takedowns and wrestling was really good. He explained the technique,applications and when to use them very thoroughly. In the short time that I trained under master shou I was amazed at the progress in my staff form, sanda, basics (especially kicks) and my flexibility. This kind of progress I could not have made anyway, even with more time, it was down to his training. He was very good at teaching us as individuals rather than as a group, he always made points to each of us and was very good at spotting our weaker points or what we struggled with and found difficult and correcting it until we could do it with confidence . He encouraged us to train with a smile, he was a nice master.

Tina Hedegaard(Denmark)
Shaolin Kung Fu and Sanda Class
As expected training here was hard, but that is partly why I came here. And it is not unreasonable. You¡¯re pushed only as far as you can go, and then just a little further, which I found to be a great challenge. I have been very happy with my master, shifu Rong. I¡¯m impressed by his great skill and delighted by his personality. Should I come back I would choose to be his student again.I found all translators to be very welcoming, patient and helpful.
I really enjoyed the simplicity of life here, combined with the beautiful surroundings it has given me great peace of mind. As European there are quite a few things to get used to, but for me that is part of the experience.
I¡¯ve been to city - a great cultured experiences.
