What were the highlights of your trip?
Having one on one tuition with the Shoalin Master who showed me the basics for the straight sword, visting The Golden Lake and taking part in The Dragon Boat Race.
Do you have 3 top tips for future travellers?
1. Make sure you have all your travel details on you at all times when travelling so that if you are unsure of your travel information/insurance you can check. 2. Always have some left over money at the end of your trip in case anything goes wrong on the journey home. 3. Try carrying a local newspaper in the language of the country you are staying in and people with think that you are a lot more aware of the area.

Awesme, very hard work, great fun, Gong Fu!
Kunal Nanavati, February 2009This was the most amazing experience, I am so glad that I went over there to China to learn martial arts, the staff and the people are so friendly and the teachers are amazing, thank you very much Real Gap.
Nicholas Childs, June 2008Real Gap provided a safe and secure guarantee before during and after travel! Helping with organisation and answering all questions I had beforehand as well as putting me into touch with other people going on the trip.
John King, January 2008 This was a truly fantastic experience, physically demanding and a real culture shock but worth every second and penny. The staff are all extremely friendly and we soon found ways to communicate without speaking the same language. When I left there were tears in the eyes of the cooks and I still miss them all now. This experience is going to stay with me forever and I can't recommend it highly enough to anyone who wants to experience the real China whilst getting fit!
Lorna Davidson, October 2006I could have had an awful time with the facilities, food and hard work but I made it into a learning experience and turned everything into a positive and came away happier than I was when I went.
“Kung fu” in Chinese means “hard work” and if you are willing to try your best and put in the hard work, this program will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.
Thank you so much for helping me achieve everything and helping me have the greatest two months of my life.
