Chinese Kung Fu

Chinese Kung Fu

Chinese Kung Fu, also known as Chinese Wushu, is a valuable cultural heritage accumulated by the Chinese people over a long period of time. The techniques of Chinese Kung Fu cover boxing, sword, knife, gun, stick, etc., and each weapon has its own unique moves and usage. Chinese Kung Fu is not only a form of martial arts, but also a philosophy and a way of life. It contains rich cultural connotations and philosophical ideas, and is of great significance in cultivating people's physical and spiritual qualities, and in promoting social harmony and cultural exchanges.

The origin of Chinese Kung Fu can be traced back to the ancient times of war, when people needed an effective self-defense and attack skill to protect themselves and their homes. With the development of history, martial arts skills were gradually passed down among the people and different schools and sects were formed, such as the Shaolin School, Wudang School and Emei School. Each of these schools has its own characteristics and possesses unique techniques and styles.

It is known for its strong and powerful, versatile moves, and emphasizes both internal and external training, balance of yin and yang, and rigidity and flexibility. It not only focuses on the mastery of punching and kicking, but also emphasizes the overall improvement of physical, mental and moral qualities.
There are many Shaolin Kung Fu styles, including Shaolin Long Fist, Shaolin Baton Technique, Shaolin Sword Technique, etc., each of which contains a profound philosophy of attack and defense. Its unique training methods, such as standing stakes and foundation work, are designed to cultivate a solid foundation and a resilient will.

Tai Chi
Tai Chi is famous for its unique philosophical ideas, technical methods and fitness effects. It is centered on the dialectical concepts of Taiji and Yin-Yang in the philosophy of Confucianism and Taoism, and combines the changes of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, the meridian science of Chinese medicine, the ancient guiding art and the art of vomiting, to form a Chinese boxing art.
Tai Chi moves softly and slowly, focusing on body relaxation and natural movement, avoiding over-exertion or stiffness. Taijiquan not only focuses on the external boxing moves, but also emphasizes the internal cultivation , such as the guidance of ideas and the coordination of breathing. Tai Chi not only has the effect of strengthening the body, but also regulates the body and mind and improves the temperament, which is an important part of Chinese culture. In recent years, Taijiquan has been inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

We had a very memorable experience in Xi’An thanks to the expertise and helpfulness from Norman, who helped us planned our trip, and Waldener, our local tour guide from Into Explore. Norman helped us with the itinerary and bookings of transport and accommodations so it was stress free for me. He asked us our preferences when making the rooms reservation to cater to what we like and recommended the best way and places to explore this city. Our tour guide was also flexible with our schedule so we were able to do what we wanted and working around the weather. We were supposed to go Mt Hua on the 2nd day of our tour but it was forecasted to rain. He switched our itinerary around so we could climb Mt Hua on the 3rd day instead when the rain had stopped. Thank you Into Explore for giving us peace of mind to sit back and enjoy our vacation.

Independent travel by train in China…
Independent travel by train in China can be daunting ordeal. We decided to use Intoexplore for booking the trip and are very happy we did. It almost felt like Norman was a family member guiding us through how to use Alipay for payments in China to where to find the ticket office in the train station to convert digital tickets to paper. He was always available (sometimes at 6 am!) to answer any question and solve any problems that arose .. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is thinking about independent travel to China .
