Julia shares her experience training at the Yuntai Mountain School in China.
Essay:
I stayed at this Kung Fu school for one month. At first, my stay was really hard because I wasn’t used to the training. But after a while, I got used to it and started to really enjoy it.
You learn so much here, both physically and mentally, always pushing yourself beyond your limits. I also took Chinese classes, which were really good because every student has a book adapted to their level, and the teacher helps everyone individually.
The hardest parts of the stay were the restrictions (not being allowed to go out, no smoking, lots of meetings, etc.). But eventually, you get used to them and focus entirely on the training.
The food in the canteen wasn’t the best, but there is a restaurant where we have different options, so it’s OK.
The excursions to Yuntai Mountain and the Shaolin Temple were great, and I would like to thank the school for providing these opportunities. One of the best things about being here is the people you leave with. Everyone supports each other, which really helps.
