Xtreme Gap Kung Fu Master in China

Kung Fu In China

A world of adrenaline travel.

Don´t under estimate the training required!

How much more inspired can you get?

The school is in an area with many Buddhist and Daoist temples including a 1500 year old Temple. These temples are significant places for Buddhism activities in China making them amazing places to visit and spend time at to take in the ancient natural beauty.

The school is located in an unbeatable location to learn and practice martial arts. Just 15 minutes from a city and between 2 ancient monasteries (apr. 2 km). The friendly Daoist monks add to the tranquility and are always keen to make friends with students and exchange cultural knowledge.

As well as ancient history there are also modern amenities in the City with a wide variety of restaurants from Italian, Thai, German, and Mexican to name a few.

The Training At the academy you can specify which form of Kung Fu styles you would like to learn or improve. The amount you learn will be dependd upon your current level of skills and how long you wish to attend the academy for.

Please note: Being able to specify a particular form will depend on numbers of other participants wanting to learn the same form and so cannot be guaranteed.

Many students who have been studying for 8 weeks have been able to cut a brick in two using their bare hands by the end of their stay!

Each Master will have a maximum of 10 students in their group.

This allows there to be a higher level of personal instruction offered than in other martial arts courses. Kung Fu requires a student to understand all of its elements, including the historical, physical and mental aspects, which are all taught on this personal level.

The masters conduct all lessons in Mandarin. However, there will be translators present to ensure you fully understand the movements and forms you are learning.

Itinerary We train roughly 5 hours per day with rest/free time during weekends. The training starts every morning at 5:30am so most students will awake at 5am to prepare for morning exercise. Regardless of which style you are practicing the 5:30am circuit training is compulsory unless you are 40 years or older then it is optional.

The circuit training is different every morning but consists of some of the following exercises; Jogging, Sprinting, Bear Crawls, Push-ups, Sit-ups, Chin-ups, Squats, Hand-stands, Bur-pees, Planks, Jumping, Gymnastic Rings etc. After circuit training you will go to your chosen style/group and train from 6am to 7:20am.

Please note you are there to train no one will get you out of bed or force you to train however. The more you put into it the more you will get out but please note there are no refunds if you decide this is not for you and choose to leave early.
