DearFriends,

Thank you for clicking in. Qufu Shaolin Kung Fu School gives you an armful of thanks for your attention. Hereby we give you all the good luck we calculated in the past 12 months to wish you a Happy New Year for 2024!!!

We feel we are pretty lucky been chosen by you after 3 years lockdown. Thank you, Bart, for being the first students coming to our school and training alone. In 2023, around 60 students come to train in our school and 20 are still training here. See the the photo of the last grading 2023:



Honestly speaking,I feel a bit relaxed now with a photo full of students at the end of the year. I was really anxious and stressful the whole year which has been realized recently.

When I wrote “the future is in sight” for 2023, there are a lot of doubt and uncertainty in my mind: This is the first year of re-opening, am I still able to get the school running back to normal? Both Wei and I are 39, while the past 3 years nearly took away our career and our income. Is this “middle-age crisis”?

I remembered every trust student gave me, the visa policy is being very strict in February and March, I have to post original letters. Edwin and Stella waited a long time and we process a lot of additional documents to get a visa. Bart managed to come from another country to train here to be the first student. Flynn chose us even I told him there are around 5 students in school but we have booking. So this is the first principle Wei and I hold: to be honest and share the truth. When I say truth and real it is supported by evidence.

Here I want to share our achievements of 2023:

We started from mater Wei teaching around 5 students, then Wing Chun master Zhang came back in July, then Tai Chi master Liu in November.
Here are photos of different groups.

In June, we also have a group of Chinese students joined. They are full time teenaged trainers. We celebrate the moon festival together:

In 2023, our international team attended 2 competitions one for forms, one for Taichi:

We organized 2 martial arts activities for our students:

Master Wei took our students to his hometown for a cultural experience tour and they go back to the Shaolin Temple together:

At the end of the year, we already have around 60 bookings for 2024. Here are the plans for the new year:

Plans for 2024

More masters coming
We are planning to get new masters for Shaolin and Wing Chun.

We are going to have Musical instruments GUZHENG and PIPA playing.

Join Us

Let’s say master Wei is good at teaching, I take the administration job. To make a good team, we are in great need of an “amplifier”, to manage the marketing, promotion and social Medea runner. If you are interested in working for our school, please let me know.

Master Wei will carry on his international workshop tour. He might go to India in April. If you are interested to inviting him to your home country, please feel free to drop me an email.

If you are interested in being an oversea branch of our school, the would be a brilliant idea, we can further discuss this as wel.

Coming back & Rewards

We have old students coming back for training all the time. Please note don’t pay the application fee anymore. You are a VIP of our school. Please check again the VIP membership terms. Students who have un-accomplished training are always welcomed back.

We see a lot of our former students get married, have kids. We also have 2 kids now. Every July and August in the summer holiday time, Master Wei and our boys invite you to come back with your kids to do training together!



Once again, we wish you a very happy 2024 and hope to meet you (again) in our common family Qufu Shaolin Kung Fu School!

Joy
