The master trainer Xu Yong (buddhistic name Shi Yan Lin) has opened his own school. The new school was named International Kung Fu Training Center and YunTai Mountain International Culture And Martial Arts School. It is located about 1 1/2 h away from the capital city Zhengzhou in a huge geological park which even has been honored by the UNESCO.
This video in the fantastic landscape of the Yuntai Mountains was kindly provided by the 'People's Government of Xiuwu County'.
This park - known as Yuntai Mountain Geological Park - is in the whole world famous for his huge gardens, high overhanging cliff, water falls, cozy valley and 'springing water'. Here in the middle of the nature far away from thousands of Chinese Kung Fu students it is the ideal place to learn Shaolin Kung Fu ...
But why does the master trainer have an own school? In the recent time the ideas of the schoolmaster Chen Tong Shan of the Xiao Long Training Center and those from the master trainer have diverged more and more. The master trainer has tried to give the foreign students the best possible achievements during their stay. Some arrangements could only be done through investments which however haven't been approved. Now in order to fulfill his own ideas and to enable the best service in all aspects during their stay the master trainer had to found his own school. The accommodation is the room of a former hotel and provides a real luxury in relation to local circumstances. One training hall was extra newly built. All English speaking trainers change to the new school. In short, all the benefits were improved and still with a lower price!
Many martial arts fans already thought about training Shaolin Kung Fu, Tai Chi or Sanda (chinese boxing) with the monks directly in Shaolin. But china isn't an "easy" country for travelling. Most of Chinese people don't understand the English language so the basics of Chinese are elementary, but who wants to learn Chinese only for a short travelling trip of some weeks? Furthermore it is very difficult to organize a shaolin kung fu stay from your country.
Due to many requests of shaolin kung fu trips we offer you in cooperation with master trainer Xie Xu Yong (buddhistic name Shi Yan Lin) of International Kung Fu Training Center this fantastic trip:
There are NO specific travel dates, so you can arrive whenever you want. Short-term arrival is possible too. So you are able to integrate your shaolin trip to your china sightseeing tour like visiting the Great Wall in Beijing, the Summer palast, the Temple of Heaven, the Longmen Grottos in Luoyang or the Terracotta armee in Xi'an (Here you will find some fantastic videos of sightseeing tours).

The three-section staff, pudao, imitated form are his specialities and he also knows a lot of other kungfu skills. At the age of 8 his uncle, who was practising kungfu too, took him to shaolin temple to learn shaolin kungfu. After physical practise and mentally developement, he entered Songshan shao lin si kungfu school for futher education on science and kungfu theory. "Hard training and endurance are the way to learn real kungfu".
During his studies he got very known in the shaolin area, due to his own efforts of learning English and self developing, including his gentle manners. Since 1996 he is teaching kungfu under control of his master and since then he began to make friends with many foreign students. After his visit to European countries he is planning to extend the teaching of foreign students for traditional culture exchange.
Three years of researches on kungfu theory and Buddhism gave him a chance to preserve his future. His friends from all around of the world contact him through letters and emails. Regardless of the big distances he is spreading the shaolin kungfu culture to the world, because deep in his heart, zen and wu are the real resources of his energy and he has devoted himself to the construction of chinese kungfu.
