@@foxmiller5759 Hi! I used DJI Osmo Pocket (similar to GoPro). I was really happy with it, small, portable and good quality. Just note that this was 5 years ago, so surely there are better technologies, you might want to check more up to date reviews. Good luck on your trip!

Thank you

Hi, I’d say there are more positive than negative aspects. From the negative I would say the facilities: beds are very hard, not much water pressure in the showers, very small breakfast. I came in winter and it was very cold in the school and the heating was on only from 7pm or so. But as for the masters and classes, and the vibe in the school in general, I couldnt complain. If i was going again for 3 months or more, I’d buy my own mattress for the bed and I’d come in spring, from mid March the earliest.

Hi Frank, I’m originally from Poland 🇵🇱 and I live in Ireland 🇮🇪

Some classes are harder than others, e.g. power training, where you have to do a lot of pushups or run up the mountain and do heavy lifting. Other classes such as 'Forms' are more relaxed, you can even get away with longer breaks and chatting with friends. But if you're serious about training, you shouldn't do that, because this way you'll progress faster. Masters in general are great, although there's constantly a rotation of them in the school so now there could be completely different ones. The ones I had were very knowledgeable and fun.

Hi, I only have a private IG profile, less than 50 friends and I'd rather keep it that way. You can ask me specific questions here. Also, there's an IG profile dragonswarriors.wakeup, it's ran by a couple who lives in this school long term. I'm sure they'll be happy to chat to you about it!

Me too I have been binge watching these types or videos

Hi :) There are more videos about the school, check out my channel. There are 3 vids of this particular series of 'random moments', but I also have videos from classes and life at the school. I hope you enjoy them!

What’s the name of a better school?

@@christygiacaman5043 The schools I've been in contact with: www.shaolin-kungfu.com/ , www.weihaikungfuacademy.com/ , fiveimmortals.com/ , I do not know what is happening with Tianmeng Kung Fu Academy, for I haven't been able to visit their website in a long while. Please let me know if you find some other alternatives, so I can check them out. Thank you.

Sam King Hi Sam, nice you hear you’re enjoying the videos 😇I stayed in the school for 3 months last year (Feb-May). I had a lot of content from the school recorded and as I’m back working full time, it took me a while to go through it and put together, as you probably noticed 😅

Shy Ninja thanks I hope to go to the school soon. Also I hope you keep posting these videos of just you and your friends goofing around cause I think they are 👌👌 and there aren’t really any other videos like them on UA-cam

Jamesieboy Hi! While I was at the school, there was a guy with two kids ages 8 & 10 or so, there was another guy with a younger brother about 12y.o, and also a boy around 14 that was alone. I don’t know what you mean by ‘younger person’, but there were even kids training at the school, so any age is possible. I would say it’s more down to your character than the age. Enduring the training physically, living in a new culture where you go to the local shop and can only communicate with gestures, eating food that is different than your normally eat... the list goes on. All I’m trying to say is that some people love it, others struggle accepting certain aspects of living at the school, but from my observation, it’s not about the age - it’s more about the personality and adaptability. If you think you’d be welcoming a totally new experience in your life and you’d be willing to accept the fact that you won’t like some parts of it (e.g. masters doing regular checkups of the rooms, if they’re clean), then this is a place for you. But if you’re picky about the bed you sleep in (the beds are not very comfy at the school), if you hate waking up early, if you’re very picky about food - this can be an issue. The training itself suits all ages.

Shy Ninja Oh great! I adapt very fast, I can also speak Chinese at a conversational level right now, I am 14, I think this will be an amazing place for me. I do already train shaolin kung fu so I don’t know what would happen about that because that would make me not a complete beginner.

A random Guy Hi! Thank you for liking my vids! Yes, you can learn some acrobatics at the school, although to achieve a backflip you’d have to stay for a couple of months at least. There is a ‘jumps and rolls’ class once per week and normally there are 2 groups - beginners and advanced. In the beginners group you learn more easy stuff, some jumping kicks, while advanced group does practise backflip among others. If you’re a beginner and you really want to learn that, I’d suggest you find a person at the school who’s good at that and ask them to help you in their spare time or during free training on Fridays (a class where you practise whatever you want). There’s a good equipment for learning flips as well, a very soft mattress, a trampoline. You just have to insist to the masters or your advanced training colleagues that you want to learn that and ask them for help rather than hoping it will happen naturally over time. Be a go-getter

Is they taught the practical application of each movement along with the movement

thank you son, love you

You never asked lol xD we can meet up if you're still in Dublin

Hi Leonie! I didn't get any vaccinations and I haven't heard of anyone in the school getting any before they came to the school (or maybe this topic didn't come up). It's not like I'm advising against it, I simply disregarded this aspect and assumed I would be fine - and I survived. No big preparations for the trip either, other than having to take a sabbatical leave from work and sublet my room for the time I was gone. What I can recommend to do as a preparation though is to start training and try to achieve a decent fitness and cardio level BEFORE coming to the school, because this way you'll get more value from the actual classes. Many people, including me, suffered from massive muscle pain in the beginning and it was difficult to follow some exercises due to the pain. Of course, people also go to this school as beginners and that's fine if your goal is to get fit, learn a bit of Kung Fu and lose weight. But if you want to get the best value and learn as much Kung Fu as you can during your stay, it's better to come prepared for this amount of classes. Let me know if you have more questions.

@@shyninja5844 thanks for your advice and help

Hi! What you can get for free is boiled water (there's a huge boiler at the school). Normal 'mineral' water you have to buy in a local shop - pros: it's not expensive, cons: it's heavy to carry. Third option - large water containers that you can buy with a pomp, they're sold at the school and they're even cheaper. Then you give back the empty bottle and get a new one for a symbolic price (6 yuan or sth like that). The problem is - in general, water quality is not great in China and I can't tell you which one of those 3 options is the best for your health. Plastic bottles are bad because we drink microplastic... Boiled water kills bacteria, but surely all of it? I don't know. All I can tell you, you have those 3 options.

In May. Didn't have time to put together and upload, only now
