I spend about one month in the kung fu
school in Japan Osaka. It was a great experience and I'm very glad and thankful
that I took this opportunity.
The communication with Kathy before coming
to Japan was easy and she helped me with all my questions, also when I stayed
in Japan. She also gave some cultural classes, which I really enjoyed.
The Shaolin Kung Fu training was intensive
on a good level. We did physical condition training, stretching, kung fu forms
and techniques, Tai chi forms and techniques, sanda (kickboxing), self-defence
techniques and more. I missed nothing and I really enjoyed the variety. master
did a great job, he always made sure that everyone was ok, motivated us, helped
us to reach our goals and limits.
It was a pleasant atmosphere among students
and trainer, respectful and friendly. On the weekends we had time to make day
trips e.g. to Osaka, Wakayame etc. In the evening we had the opportunity to
rest, spend time together or for example go to a hot spring (Onsen) nearby.
The school building is beautiful, a
traditional japanese house with a nice little garden, so it's a very authentic
daily living.
In one month I learned a lot, gain fitness
and strength, improved my techniques and forms, thanks to the effort and
patience. I will miss the daily training, the people that became friends and
the whole atmosphere, and I will come back for sure.
that's my review! I really enjoyed it to
stay here :)
