I’ve been practicing martial arts since I was 8 years old, starting with a mix of Karate and Judo. Over time, I focused more on Katas and Kumite, while continuing Judo for two more years. I’ve always loved learning new techniques and understanding the deeper meaning behind them. After finishing school, I knew I wanted to dedicate a full year just to training and pushing my physical limits. That’s when I started looking for a Shaolin Kung Fu school in China, and I’m so glad I found this one.
The training was incredibly diverse and well-structured. One of my favorite parts was the "Jumps and Rolls" sessions. I learned techniques like the Butterfly Kick, Front Flip, Dragon Twist, and Kip Up, skills I had only seen in videos before.
Another major focus was flexibility. Thanks to the daily stretching routines, my mobility improved significantly, something that benefits all aspects of martial arts.
What really sets this school apart is Master Wei. He pays close attention to every student, whether you're a complete beginner or an advanced martial artist. He adjusts the training to your personal level, so that everyone can progress in their own way while still training together. This personal approach made a huge difference in my development.
Daily running and intense physical training also changed me a lot. I used to hate running, now I can go for a morning jog with ease. My endurance has improved tremendously. 
Outside of training, life at the school was very comfortable. The food was always fresh, healthy, and very tasty.
I also want to highlight how supportive the school was with visa. I had to renew my visa several times and even had to go to Bali for a new one, which was a complicated process. But the school supported me in every step of the way, making sure I had everything I needed. That kind of help is invaluable when you're far from home.
Final thoughts:
These 10 months at the Shaolin school were some of the most intense, rewarding, and transformative months of my life. I grew physically, mentally, and technically in ways I couldn’t have imagined. If you're serious about training and ready to commit to personal growth, whether you're a beginner or advanced, I highly recommend this school.
