Why did I choose China to study Kung Fu?

Actually, I didn't know much about China before coming here. I just heard from friends that China has the most beautiful landscapes, and when I found out that it was summer in China, I decided to join the camp at Kunyu Mountain Shaolin Kung Fu School. Also, I was curious to see what China had to offer. I wanted to learn more about the culture.

What is your greatest gain from your martial arts training?

I think my greatest gain is that I met amazing people at this academy and that I found a new sport that I am continuing at home. I learned a lot here about the different Kung Fu styles and found one that I truly love: the staff. The optional classes were pretty nice. I enjoyed calligraphy; it was a nice, calming environment after training.

Who influenced and helped you during your period in the academy?

Mostly the people that I met and built friendships with. They made my experience wonderful, and I learned a lot from them about life, which makes me feel like I'm growing as a person. For the training, I have to thank Coach Qi a lot. He trained me a lot and showed me many options with the staff. He definitely was a great coach.

Brief summary of my experience in the academy:

I had a wonderful time at the academy. The people, the coaches, and the translators are amazing. I learned more about myself during my time here, that I am able to go beyond my limits and that no goal is unreachable if you work for it. I am very glad that I came here, and I hope to be able to come back someday. Thank you to everyone who made this experience unforgettable! I am sad to leave, but my time here was so great.

What do you think about the surroundings of the academy?

I love the surroundings of the academy. The mountains are so beautiful, and the layout of the academy is just perfect. Yantai is also a nice city worth visiting. I do feel at home here because it is just beautiful!
