For students who have always had an interest in martial arts, this program in an excellent opportunity to combine traditional Kung Fu and Chinese language classes. Kung Fu is the broad term that is used to describe all martial arts of Chinese origin. In this program, participants will learn Wushu, the Chinese term for Kung Fu, which encompasses traditional and contemporary styles, as well as external and internal forms. A great number of traditional and modern stances, footwork, kicks, hand techniques, body coordination and balance are taught. Bare hand and weapon routines are offered.
Information about Beijing, China (Click to view)
An ancient capital of six dynasties, Beijing is one of the most famous historical and cultural cities in the world. Temples, parks, and historic sites all sing wonderfully and powerfully of the dream that was Old Cathay, but in the same hallowed space there's a new Beijing taking shape. Just outside the exquisite walls of Beijing's monuments, steel and concrete are steadily replacing silk and carved wood.
China is more than a country – it is a whole different world, from shop-till-you-drop metropolises to the epic grasslands of Inner Mongolia, with deserts, sacred peaks, astounding caves, and imperial ruins in between. Along with the stark contrasts comes stark beauty; there is plenty to see if you can wade through the crowds.
Participants: Mostly from Europe and the US. Average age 35.
Other: If there are no other Kung Fu students, martial arts lessons will be private and reduced to 5 hrs a week.
