Find your kung fu school in China

Chenjiagou Taijiquan School is located in Chen Village, the birthplace of Tai Chi Chuan in Wenxian County, Henan Province. Students train directly with instructors from the Chen family lineage — the family that created and has preserved Chen-style Tai Chi for generations. This is the closest thing to original-source Tai Chi training available to foreign students.

Kunyu Mountain is one of the longest-running and most foreigner-friendly kung fu schools in China. Founded in 2004, the school has trained students from over 60 countries and offers confirmed X1 and X2 student visa sponsorship. Training takes place in a mountain forest park setting with small class sizes and English-speaking instructors. Styles include Shaolin, Wing Chun, Tai Chi, and Qigong.

Shaolin Yongzhi Academy is run by Master Yongzhi, a respected figure in traditional Shaolin kung fu lineage. The school only recently began accepting foreign students and notably follows the same curriculum used for Chinese students — not a program specifically designed for foreigners. This makes it one of the more authentic options currently available near the Shaolin Temple area.
