Home Shaolin Kung Fu Training in China From a mere idea to the greatest adventure of my life Does each of us have dreams? And ... have you ever thought to realize these dreams? I did not want to continue this "normal" life, I wanted to do something special and set the course for my future life. I've been a fan of Asian martial arts movies since childhood, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, I knew them all and wanted the same body control, the cool kicks, somersaults and other acrobatics, but also learn the selfprotect techniques. What are these techniques and where can you learn this? Shaolin Kung Fu - Hard Qi Gong exercises The origin of all martial arts leads back to the famous Shaolin Temple in Henan Province in China. Before 1500 years on, the Indian monk Bodhidharma (also known as Ta Mo) in the Shaolin temple and found the Shaolin monks in a catastrophic health condition. Bodhidharma, the 18 boxing techniques of Shaolin, who trained the monks to prepare their body condition willingly for the long meditations. The exercises should promote the health of the monks, the steely muscles and stimulate the internal organs, so they live longer. He also spreaded the Buddhist teachings of the Chan, which was very accommodating to the Chinese mentality. Even here, the close connection between Shaolin Kung Fu Training and Chan Buddhism is (or even called Zen Buddhism) clear. During the heyday of the Shaolin TempleOver 2500 Shaolin monks have been trained with Shaolin Kung Fu in numerous styles. Especially 13 famous Shaolin monks have gone down in history because they have helped the famous General Li Shimin in the Battle of Qianglingkou to win. Their Weapons are the dreaded Shaolin Gun (stick). Famous shaolin gun (stick) My mind was made up. I would practice Shaolin Kung Fu in Henan province in China just like the famous Shaolin monks. But is that possible? How can I contact with them? How can I get there? I do not speak Chinese, only English! What are the requirements for admission to the Shaolin Kung Fu training? You can also learn there is anything else? Age? Men and women? How long can I learn there, Shaolin Kung Fu? Many, many questions that plague me and I'll answer on this site! Follow me into the fascinating trip of Shaolin ... 1.2 idea - Shaolin Kung Fu Training in China Of course, one must be a little crazy to come up with this idea already. Why should I train Shaolin Kung Fu in China at all, there are also kung fu clubs in my area? The local clubs are excellent kungfu, to become familiar with the subject of Martial Arts / Shaolin Kung Fu / Tai Chi or Sanda at all familiar. This sport is ever right for me? At home, I'll maybe 2 - 3 times (even up to 5 times) to train a week for 1 hour. On everage 3 hours a week, 12 hours in a month or 144 hours a year. Shaolin Kung Fu training at wu long tan (5 dragon lake) The Shaolin Kung Fu training (it is also taught as Modern Wushu, Tai Chi & Qi Gong / Sanda (Chinese boxing) and Chinese Language) is practiced daily 6-8 h, 6 days a week, 4 weeks a month, 11 months (foreign students can train 12 months a year) in place, up to 2300 hours per year! The training intensity for Shaolin Kung Fu / Wushu Modern / Sanda / Tai Chi & Qi Gong training in China is many times higher and thus the learning curve! 1.3 Training directliy at the Shaolin temple? Of course, I would like to be just so trained 1500 years ago by the Shaolin monks in the Shaolin Temple. This is located in central China, in Henan Province at the foot of Mount Songshan, about 1 ½ hours drive from the capital, Zhengzhou. Shaolin Temple in Henan Province Unfortunately, foreign students can not be directly trained Shaolin Kung Fu at the Shaolin Temple with the Shaolin monks. For foreign students, there is the possibility to be trained in a Shaolin Kung Fu School (in Chinese it is called wushu- martial arts) - of course with Shaolin monks. 1.4 What is the right Shaolin Kung Fu school? This question may never be answered in general because each has different needs. In any case, one should notice the following things: The size of the Shaolin Kung Fu schools vary from 10 to 15000 students. Small schools of Shaolin Kung Fu often have no training hall, so that the Shaolin Kung Fu training will take place in rain or shine, summer and winter outdoors. It is important that the coaches speak English, so that understanding is possible. Every Shaolin Kung Fu coach is trained almost since childhood, do they also have experience with foreign students? Chinese students can not have rest even they are sick, in case of errors they are beaten and the training takes place in large groups. There are great differences regarding the accommodation, double room or a dormitory, western toilet in the room or hole in the woods, hot water and shower. Quality of food, other activities such as teaching Chinese language, Buddhism, Tai Chi & Qi Gong, etc., assist in visa matters, obscure one-off fees are additional issues that need to be considered in the selection. 1.5 My choice of Shaolin Kung Fu School I opted for the Wushu Shaolinsi Xuexiao because this school seemed perfect for me. I want to strongly recommend the excellent trainer Xie Xu Yong (Buddhist name Shi Yan Lin). He is now (also known as International Kung Fu Training Center) in the Yuntai Mountain International Martial Arts And Culture School. It is located near the city of Jiaozuo in Yuntai mountains in a huge geological park, which has even been honored by UNESCO. Authentic Shaolin monks teach in the Yuntai Mountain International Martial Arts And Culture School who have studied in the Shaolin Kung Fu at the Shaolin Temple in Henan Province! Shaolin Kung Fu school in mountain Yuntai 1.6 Shaolin Kung Fu - Requirements The Shaolin Kung Fu school is open worldwide to all students. Both men and women can learn Shaolin Kung Fu. Chinese students start their 3-year- Shaolin Kung Fu - training between the ages of 6 and 11 years, foreign Shaolin Kung Fu students usually come after school or training to China. For minors, a declaration by the parent or guardian is required. Older students are of course welcome. It is not necessary to have martial arts experience, but you should be aware that the unusual long and hard training quite tiring and a good physical condition will be extremely helpful. Good preparation by jogging and stretching will alleviate the muscle soreness during the first weeks of Shaolin Kung Fu training much ;-) Master Shi Yan Lin traveled with his student with 'Wheel of life' performance around the world 1.7 Shaolin Kung Fu Training in China - - Procedure plan. What do I want to learn? How long schould I stay in China? when do I have time to leave? 1- 3 months - for a glimpse of Shaolin Kung Fu, Modern Wushu, Tai Chi & Qi Gong, Sanda Training in China. It is possible, to learn up to 2 forms Shaolin Kung Fu weapon forms in a month. 3-12 months are suitable for those who wish to lern more Shaolin Kung Fu techniques, forms and more weapons, additional Sanda / Tai Chi or a much better condition. It is appropriate for all martial arts fans to have more than 12 months of training who want still learn more Shaolin Kung Fu techniques (animal style) and Hard Qi Gong exercises in your home or start their own school. I've decided to be trained 1 year in China, Shaolin Kung Fu. The next step I took contact with this website. Simply fill out the application form and inquire whether I can attend in the the Shaolin Kung Fu school in the desired period. With this application form I do not have to committ myself to anything! Now I have looked after one Viusm at the Chinese Embassy. Simply fill in a visa form, in part, is a letter of invitation required. I have requested this "letter of invitation" by e-mail with no problems at school and get it sent quickly via email. Man can get a tourist visa for up to 90 days with no problems. For a longer stay, the local school should help with a visa extension, but only the Chinese government has the right to decide on a visa-issue. Shaolin Kung Fu training in snow At the same time I have looked for a flight from my home to China / Beijing and from there a Chinese domestic flight to Zhengzhou. Highly recommended is an international health insurance. Furthermore, man should seek advice from his doctor regarding vaccinations. Also, I have trained the physical fitness with jogging and stretching or climbing stairs. 1.8 Shortly before departure For the Shaolin Kung Fu, Modern Wushu, Tai Chi & Qi Gong, Sanda training or regular exercise light clothe is recommended. In winter, you should take warm clothe. However, clothe can be bought very cheaply in China. I have notified the school my arrival data / time and flight number at the airport in Zhengzhou, so the school bus can pick me up from at the airport. Shaolin Kung Fu 1.9 The greatest adventure of my life begins - Shaolin Kung Fu Training in China I'm sitting already in the plane to China. I have a quite uneasy feeling, especially with regard to the language. What if no one pickde me up? After a 10-hour- flight to Beijing and another 1 hour flight to Zhengzhou, I was picked up by school bus and after 1 ½ hours, I'm pretty exhausted at the Shaolin Kung Fu school. Only then do I book my stay and pay the monthly contribution. I get a by Western standards simple, but to Chinese conditions extremely comfortable double room assigned, even with its own toilet and shower and hot water. I fall into bed dead tired.

Please remember that you are traveling to a kung fu school in China and not in a holiday hotel, you will find everything you need for life and training in your comfortable double rooms for Chinese conditions in the school, but the comfort is not comparable to European conditions. In the school's shops you can buy everything for daily needs, are in the nearby town clothes and more. Take as few things as possible, because you would like to bring home as many souvenirs as possible and 20 kg of luggage must be quickly exceeded. Shaolin weapons Light clothes are recommended, such as T-shirts and trousers in summer, and running shoes. In winter, you should take your thick warm clothes. A small first aid kit is recommended, the Chinese medicine also helps in case of illness very well. 9.7 PREPARATION OF SPORTS The long and unaccustomed exercise of 6 days a week with short breaks between training sessions is very hard and at least during the first 4 weeks you will feel your muscles ache.

Even stairs / mountain climb is a good preparation. 9.8 ARRIVAL You book a flight to Beijing and take a domestic flight from Beijing to Zhengzhou. As a rule, the earlier you book a flight, the cheaper it is, therefore you should time yourself on your travel dates. The domestic flights can be booked by the travel agency in your home country. The journey from Beijing to Zhengzhou can also be finished by train, but it makes little sense. The airport in Beijing is located outside the city, so you must take a taxi (in Chinese) at the right station, and you (I mean it) must wait a long time and try to get a ticket for today. Often they are sold out, so that a hotel stay is required. Advice: travel by plane, and if you see you safely into the Chinese language and mentality feel, uses the train on the way back. Once you've booked your flight, your arrival date, arrival time and flight number is sent to us.
