This is my list of the best kung fu schools in China for 2017. In this article I have chosen only the very best kung fu schools based on what they offer in terms of training, location, food and how well they cater to kids. Each year we will update this list based our school visits and student reviews.
Best Training
Consistently the best kung fu school for training in terms of structure, tuition and depth of transmission is WDP China. The instructors are mostly bi or multi lingual. The school training schedule runs 6 days per week. 7 hours per day. You can see a typical training schedule below.
- 06:30 – Get Up
- 07:30-09:40 – Warm Up & Hun Yuan Fa Li, Standing Qigong, Walking Meditation
- 09:50-12:00 – Morning Class
- 16:00-17:30 – Afternoon Class
- 19-00-21:00 – Evening Class
The school curriculum has been systematically developed and taught with modern teaching methods in mind. This curriculum features 8 Trigrams IN-BETWEEN the 4 Instructor-Levels.
Students can choose:
- WDP CLASSIC (All traditional styles with specific basics, qigong, tao lu and style specific applications)
- WDP COMBAT (realistic fighting skills using INTERNAL PRINCIPLES of all styles).
In addition to the regular curriculum the school also has, online training, seminars in sword, push hands, body conditioning, hand conditioning, neigong and much more throughout the year.

As a young student, this is the kind of training curriculum that I wish I had. Now after many years of training and now I have my own school and teaching students, I would still love to put together a curriculum like this. I just don’t know if the kids in the United States would be ready for such a determined training schedule.

Hi William, this type of training is essentially full time. Most people who visit these schools take gap years to do so or are very devoted to becoming instructors themselves. It really is a big commitment but an experience of a life time if you can take it. 🙂
