Kung Fu School Near Shaolin Temple

Introduction

What is it really like to learn Kung Fu in China, one kilometer from the Shaolin Temple? At the foot of Mount Song in Dengfeng, Henan, sits the Shaolin Zhongwu Research and Learning Base - a place where international students live, eat, and train beside 34th-generation Shaolin warrior monks.

This video walks through the base itself: the training halls, the dormitories and dining room, and the daily rhythm of students who came to learn Kung Fu in China and stayed for months at a time.
