Yuntai Mountain International Culture & Martial Arts School

YunTai Mountain International Culture And Martial Arts School

 

We are a traditional Shaolin Kung Fu school, teaching students from around the world in all different styles of Chinese Kung Fu like Shaolin Kung Fu, Modern Wushu, Sanda / Sanshou (Chinese Boxing), Tai Chi, Qi Gong, etc. Whether you are a beginner or a very experienced martial artist, whether you want to stay for a month or a year - we kindly invite you to learn chinese martial arts from our highly distinguished Shaolin Masters. All trainers trained martial arts since childhood. Of course they have a lot of teaching experience and speak Chinese and English language. Shaolin Wushu encompasses traditional and contemporary styles as well as external and internal forms.

 

Students are invited to train at the school for both short and long terms of stays. Students may also combine training and optional language classes and combine different kind of styles. All information about our "Short to long term training programs" can be found here. The "YunTai Mountain International Culture And Martial Arts School" is also called "The International Kung Fu Training Center".

 

It was founded by master trainer Xie Xu Yong (buddhistic name Shi Yan Lin) who possesses over decade long experience in Shaolin Kung Fu Training with international students. In order to fulfill his own ideas and to provide the international students the best possible service during their stay this place was picked out after a long searching. The school is located in a huge geological park in the mountains of Yuntai with fascinating rock formations, canyons, spectacular waterfalls and quiet streams. Here in the middle of the nature far away from thousands of Chinese Kung Fu students it is the ideal place to learn Shaolin Kung Fu. You can just sit down on a rock, watch the butterflies and listen to the birds...The ideal place in order to train and to rest in the beautifulness of the nature during the breaks.

During the training week, there are breaks in the day between training sessions. Students often appreciate this time for resting, though they may also like to spend it to do their own personal training, meditate, read, go for a walk or listen to music etc.

 

At the off-day (right now it is on Tuesdays), there is no formal training so students are free to rest, and with the permission of their master leave the school to visit places near by. Students may also ask for a period of holiday if they wish to travel during their stay. Students occasionally go on trips inside the Yuntai Mountains or have the opportunity to visit the Shaolin Temple in Henan Province. Many sightseeing tours are arranged regularly.

 

 

Life at School

 

WHAT TO BRING

 

This is not a complete list but it might help you when packing your suitcase. First, do not forget to bring some passport photos for registration at the school and the local police office.

 

For training in summer it is good to have loose trousers or shorts and a couple of T-shirts with you. For winter some additional warm sweaters for training and free time, a warm jacket as well as thermal underwear or a track suit are recommended. It will be useful to have a pair of running shoes for jogging and stamina training. For regular training students usually wear a type of thin-sole trainers that can be bought easily after arriving.

 

Further you should bring basic and personal medical equipment with you and other special items you may need from your home. Don't forget that most of the stuff you will need can also be bought in the nearest town or the academy's little shop. If you pack your suitcase by keeping in mind that this is a Kung Fu training school and not a holiday camp or a five star hotel, you might have everything you need.

 

 

TELEPHONE, MAIL AND INTERNET

 

The school has a computer room with internet connection, as well as a Wifi router, that you can use for FREE. So if you would like to bring your own computer/laptop with you, you can connect to out wifi network. There is also an office phone that can be used to receive calls. From the nearest post office, letters to and from foreign countries by airmail may take around a week or two to arrive. Parcels may take a little longer.

 

MONEY AND BANKING

 

ATM's at the Bank of China can be used to take out money using a card. Cash can also be sent from a foreign country through Western Union. Traveler's cheques can be cashed at a bank such as the Bank of China and but may take a little while to process.

 

Food and accommodation is included in costs for the school so it is not necessary to spend much extra money whilst training other than for snacks and water, travel and shopping. Students are likely to find that food and many other things are much cheaper to buy in China than in their home country.

 

HEALTH

 

There are no required vaccinations for entering China except for the Yellow Fever vaccination if you are arriving from an infected area. It is best to consult a travel clinic in advance of leaving if you wish to have any other vaccinations such as the Hepatitis A vaccine. In China, local clinics and hospitals are well-equipped and have many western, chinese and combination medicines. In a medical bag, it is convenient to have things like sunscreen, insect repellant, band aids, some cream or ointment for cuts and bruises, something for an upset stomach or nausea, any prescription or allergy medicine and multi-vitamins if taken. Visitors are not recommended to drink unboiled tap water in China. For training, students either fill up their bottle with pre-boiled water from the school's hot water machine freely or buy boxes of bottled water as they are quite inexpensive. In traditional Chinese medicine, the practice of Qigong and Tai Chi are considered beneficial and restorative to health.
