Length of Training: 1 Month Wudang Kung Fu & Tai Chi

Keep in mind that this is a real kung fu school, where real masters are trained, I liked tai chi, but I also tried a little kung fu…

I spent a month at the summer camp at Wudang Mountain Kung-Fu Academy. I really liked everything! The school itself is located on top of one of the mountains away from the main tourist trails, which allowed us to live and study in peace. I saw other schools. Either crowds of tourists constantly taking pictures of students, or too many students in the school, which is also not very good for learning. Everything is harmonious in this school. You get individual training.

The location is ideal! The school terrace offers a magnificent view of the mountains. Every day we met magnificent sunsets here. A five-minute walk from the school there is an observation deck where we met magnificent sunrises. Due to the fact that the school is located at the top, it was not hot. We enjoyed the weather and the beauty of Wudang mountains every day.

As for the school itself, everything here is done with love and care. The guest rooms are good. The room has excellent beds, a good bathroom, a good air conditioner that works for heating and cooling. Hot water all day. The school itself is made of wood, which is very environmentally friendly. I will give you some advice – take earplugs for sleeping, since everything is made of wood.

The food was very good and tasty, always fresh and plenty of it.

Keep in mind that this is a real kung fu school, where real masters are trained. This is not a tourist attraction, so be prepared to maintain discipline, get up early and do serious practice. But the master and his students are very kind and responsive. If something happens to you, they will always meet you halfway and help you. I really liked the young kung fu masters. Sociable, open, kind, cheerful. You feel like you are in a family, which is very welcoming and comfortable. We ate together, laughed together, studied together and shared different experiences. Individual training was selected for each guest. Some started from zero, some wanted to study real kung fu. Each student is given what he is ready to learn. For example, I liked tai chi, but I also tried a little kung fu. They also organized individual lessons for me on the GuQin, which seemed unrealistic at first. They brought two GuQins to the top of the mountain, for me and the teacher, so that I could practice! This is an amazing attitude towards students! Such respect for the desire to learn! Thanks to the head master for such an attitude. I will never forget this help. And other masters come here to study kung fu. There was a fan dance teacher. She gave lessons to everyone who wanted to. It was an amazing experience! In a month, I learned more than in several years! Tai chi, kung fu, fan dance, and GuQin will forever be in my heart. As well as young kung fu masters. We all became friends. It was the best summer vacation!!! I highly recommend this school, where classes can be combined with friendship, a warm attitude towards you and the splendor of nature.
