Truly special Kung Fu experience - Although the class lasted only half a day, it was very informative. Professional martial arts instructors taught the techniques, and the accompanying translator explained the movement essentials and the origins of the names clearly. Foshan is believed to be the ultimate origin of Chinese Kung Fu, and it is a great opportunity to explore its origins in such a unique destination.
