Estive na Qufu Shaolin Kung Fu School durante todo o mes de julho de 2015. Foi para mim uma experiencia excelente. Pude treinar Tai Chi todas as manhas, depois fundamentos, formas Shaolin, Bagua, Chi Kung Marcial, Chi Kung Interno, e Xingyi. Portanto tive aqui uma pratica de kung fu bastante completa. Alem disso, os mestres aqui sao muito competentes, atentos e gentis.

Estive aqui depois de 10 anos de pratica de Kung Fu no Brasil. Oito anos de pratica do estilo Louva-a-Deus (Shifu Janio Marcos da Silva) e dois anos e meio de pratica de Shaolin (Shifu Luis Mello). Entao cheguei aqui ja com bastante experiencia e aprendi muito aqui.

Antes de vir passar um mes aqui na Escola, eu tinha vindo para a China tres anos antes e treinado kung fu por uma semana em Shaolin e por quatro dias em montanhas Wudang, e tinha tambem treinado quinze dias com os monges Shaolin do Shaolin Temple Cultural Center de Los Angeles.

Outras coisas positivas aqui da Escola sao a comida, que para mim ‘e muito boa. Os quartos sao amplos e claros. Alem disso, pude ficar num quarto sozinho,  com ar condiciondo e internet, o que para mim eram questoes fundentais, pois eu trouxe bastante trabalho para fazer durante os intervalos dos treinos e a noite. O entorno da Escola ‘e muito tranquilo, o que tambem e’ uma coisa muito favoravel. Os espacos abertos e fechados para os treinos sao otimos.

Tive em media 50 colegas de treino, vindo de todas as partes do mundo, com uma idade media de 21 anos. Portanto, quase todos os meus colegas tinham menos da metade da minha idade, que estou com 51 anos.

Estou muito feliz por ter vindo a Qufu Shaolin Kung Fu School e permanecido um mes aqui. Sou grato tambem a todos os mestres, aos tradutores e secretarios, as cozinheiras e faxineiras. Agradeco tambem meus colegas de treino por termos compartilhado este mes de formacao aqui na China.

English version

I was in Qufu Shaolin Kung Fu school throughout the month of July 2015. For me it was an excellent experience. I could practise Tai Chi every morning, end along the day Shaolin basics, Shaolin forms, internal Chi Kung, martial Chi Kung, Bagua and Xingyi. So I had very complete practice of Kung Fu. In addition, the teachers here are very competent, attentive and gentle.

I 've been here after 10 years of practice of Kung Fu in Brazil. Eight years of practice of the style of praying mantis (Shifu Janio Marcos da Silva), and two and a half years practice of Shaolin (Shifu Luis Mello). Then I came here with enough experience and I learned a lot here.

Before coming to spend a month here at the school, I came to China three years earlier and trained for a week in the Shaolin Temple (at the Songshan Mountains)  and for five days in the Wudang Mountains, and had also trained 15 days with the shaolin monks of the Shaolin Temple Shaolin cultural center of Los Angeles.

Other good things here at school are the food, which for me is very good. The bedrooms are spacious and bright. Besides, I was able to stay in a room alone, with air conditioner and Internet, which for me was fundermental issues, because I has brought a lot of work to do during the intervals of the practice and the night.

The area around the school, and very quiet and good. The open and closed spaces for training are not to be missed. I had 50 members in media training, coming from all parts of the world, with a middle age 21 years. Therefore, almost all my colleagues had less than half of my age, I 'm with 51 years.

I am very happy to have come to Qufu Shaolin Kung Fu school and stayed a month here. I'm grateful also to all the teachers, translators and secretaries, cooks and cleaners. I also thank my colleagues in training because we shared this month of formation in China.
