Why did I choose China Kunyu Mountain to study Kungfu?

I chose China for Kungfu because it is where it begins. I watched some videos on YouTube, and they made me want to give Kungfu training and martial arts training a try in a real Kungfu school.

What is your greatest gain from your martial arts training? 

I really appreciate the discipline and the energy you can find in the Kungfu school. The focus on your body and mentality, especially with Qigong training, is very valuable. Learning Shaolin forms was also really nice to practice. 

Who influenced and helped you during your period in the academy?My Shifu, James, Flora, and Coach Chang were all great and very helpful. Some students were also very caring and supportive during my Kungfu training. Brief summary of my experience in the academy: 

My experience in the Kungfu school was very good. I found the training efficient and suitable for everyone, from beginners to people who already have experience. The Kungfu training was complete, with different content every day. The food was always amazing—thanks to the chef! 

What do you think about the surroundings of the academy?The surroundings are very beautiful. The Kungfu school is located among the mountains, which makes it a real pleasure to train with such an amazing view. The temple and national park are incredible—there are no words to describe how beautiful they are.

 Why China Kunyu Mountain ?

I wanted to immerse myself fully by learning Kungfu in China and to experience the early mornings, discipline, tradition, and repetition. My main motivation was to rebuild myself mentally and physically, and to see what I am capable of through Kungfu training at a traditional Kungfu school. 

What is your greatest gain? 

My greatest gain at the Kungfu school is discipline. Showing up to train when I was tired and sore is something I am proud of. Qigong training has helped me focus on my breathing and regulate my nervous system. 

Who influenced and helped you? 

 Shifu has been absolutely incredible! I really enjoy his classes and Kungfu training techniques. He has been very patient and supportive with me while teaching the forms. I want to say a massive thank you to him,he is a great asset to the Kungfu school! 

Brief summary: I have learned a lot from the masters and coaches, and I have had an amazing time here at the Kungfu school. It really feels like one big family, and everyone is very kind. The atmosphere is homely, and the energy is positive and supportive. James and Flora are very kind and helpful! I think the martial arts training has been great, and I have enjoyed learning the staff and sword. My favorite day is power training! I think we would benefit from having 30 seconds of stretching instead of 20 seconds for more effective dynamic stretching.

 What do you think about the surroundings? I think the mountains and temples are stunning! That is one of the main reasons why I chose this Kungfu school— to be surrounded by nature. I have had an amazing 3 months of Kungfu training, and I would love to come back again soon—maybe even stay for a year! 

Thank you all so much!

 Why China Kunyu Mountain ? 

I have always been interested in Chinese culture, and I wanted to challenge myself by doing something new. Choosing to experience Kungfu training in China at a traditional Kungfu school felt like the right step for me. 

What is your greatest gain?

One of my greatest gains from this martial arts training is realizing that even if something feels difficult at the beginning, it becomes easier over time if you stay persistent. I also really appreciate that the Masters and Coaches at the Kungfu school are very patient and always willing to teach when you want to learn something. 

Who influenced and helped you? The training plan at the Kungfu school has many positive aspects. For example, you can choose what you want to focus on during your Kungfu training. However, it would be helpful to have more detailed information about the weekly structure (such as Wednesday power training, Thursday stance training, etc.). 

The training system allows flexibility, which is great for different students and training goals. 

Surroundings of the academy: The surroundings are very beautiful. The landscape feels almost dreamy, and it is a great environment for Kungfu training. The infrastructure is also good for a small town. I expected a bit more from Yantai city, but that might also be because I was not always able to find enough information online.
