When and How
You can learn Kung Fu in China all year round, however during Chinese new year, the Chinese Martial Arts Academy runs a limited programme (training still takes place, but not with the Chinese masters). This is not a reason to avoid this time of year, as Chinese new year spent in China, has its benefits! Chinese new year varies by year to year but roughly it is during late January early February.
We Run courses starting every month, and you can stay for 2 weeks up to one year.
The school is located in a beautiful setting in a geological park that covers about 492 sq Km. Semi-tropical weather. The highest temperature in the summer reaching 34C and the lowest temperature in the winter going below -5C. However, because our school is in the mountains, the summer is cooler than in the town. The best time to travel to this area is in spring or autumn.
