I studied Chinese kung-fu from 1993 in China with several famous kung-fu masters. The traditional Chinese kung-fu is like folks music among the people.

Although traditional Chinese kung-fu is not a perfect sport knowledge system, it contains lots of experience from ancient war. In the modern world, we don't really need it, but we can keep it as culture. We can get health, peaceful,endurance and energy form it. I focus to two kinds students.

In addition to the class fee, you'll have extra costs for uniforms, belts, and testing fees. A karate uniform—also called a Gi, karategi, or dogi—costs $60 to $120 on average, while belts cost $5 to $20. Some schools include a gi and belt with your first month's tuition. Testing fees vary by school, but beware of schools that charge more than $20 per test.
