Kung fu schools china

[ktkungfu]

Hey Gene,

Just picked up the New KFM and I was wondering if you could recommend schools in Shanghai, Beijing or Hong Kong?

Where would be good place to study in each city?

Maybe next issue if you have space to do a 1 page list of shaolin, wushu and wing chun schools in each city. Maybe list how to train at shaolin temple and southern shaolin temple?

We do have a school directory in each issue, but none are in China. Those listings aren't a courtesy. All of the listings are of schools and stores that distribute our magazine. It's actually fairly inexpensive, unless your outside of the U.S.

We currently have two China schools that advertise in our magazine:
Beijing Shaolin Wushu School
Kunyu Mountain Shaolin Martial Arts Academy

We also list the contact information for most of the China-based masters when we cover them in the magazine.

yeah when it comes down to it, kfm is a biz, not an american kungfu bible...


is the real shaolin school at the monestary, or near it, a non profit or do the treat it like a biz too??? not the schools littered around it, i mean the actual temple...??

there are many wushu schools near shaolin temple or deng feng city.

there are also many wushu schools in shanghai and beijing

--

depending on what you want

just about every major city there are kung fu or wushu schools.

If you read chinese, here's a good site with schools and teachers listed:

You can search by province/city or style.

What i would like to do is train shaolin and wing chun when I go. Wushu not so much ...but if i cant find a real shaolin school then I will.

If the place has a web site and times that would be very helpfull in planing my trip!

I would very much appreciate it if someone could direct me to some schools in one of the Shanghai, Beijing or Hong Kong areas.

I have been noticing a lot of people talking about finding good kung fu schools in China, so I've been gathering a list of kung fu schools with all the information in one place, such as their web address, where the school is, training time, overview of the school and bios of the masters that teach there.

I created this site called www.greatkungfuofchina.com it is not affiliated with any school, it's an open site for people to list their schools or masters and write reviews about their experience at the kung fu schools.

If you find a school that isn't listed, please suggest it and if you have trained at a school you can write a review and let others know what it's really like. I hope this helps

Pretty handy page - definitely something to develop. Check out www.niudor.com for a Chinese list of schools/teachers in China. Some provinces are much more developed in terms of listing our teachers than others - but still a pretty good page to check out if someone is looking for some teachers in their area.
