VISA
Shortterm
Applicants should apply for a 1 or 3 months tourist visa regardless of the study duration. If the study duration is not covered by the initial visa approval, your visa can be extended in china. Our school will help you extending visa. In some countries you will need an Invitation Letter to obtain a visa. These documents are provided by our school when enrollment has been completed. Please keep in mind, that only chinese government hold the permission to give you a visa.
Longterm
Through our collaboration with the Chinese University in Jiaozuo, it is for foreign students now possible to obtain a visa from 6 months to 3 years. A W202 document can be issued for a fee of $ 100 US$ in advance. After the students entered the country with the tourist visa , all necessary documents should be procured within 30 days, for example Hospital Check. A student visa can also be issued. The foreign student has to pay for the entire duration of his stay at the school fees in advance, because the school is responsibel for the students in this whole period.
INSURANCE
In the case of a doctor or hospital visit, the student must pay all charges in cash. It is strongly advised to buy a travel insurance. The fees will be refunded upon presentation of the receipt. The school assumes no liability for injuries that occurred during training and the stay in school.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
Please remember that you are traveling to a kung fu school in China and not in a holiday hotel, you will find everything you need for life and training in your comfortable double rooms for Chinese conditions in the school, but the comfort is not comparable to European conditions. In the school's shops you can buy everything for daily needs, are in the nearby town clothes and more. Take as few things as possible, because you would like to bring home as many souvenirs as possible and 20 kg of luggage must be quickly exceeded.
Light clothes are recommended, such as T-shirts and trousers in summer, and running shoes.
In winter, you should take your thick warm clothes.
A small first aid kit is recommended, the Chinese medicine also helps in case of illness very well.
PREPARATION OF SPORTS
The long and unaccustomed exercise of 6 days a week with short breaks between training sessions is very hard and at least during the first 4 weeks you will feel your muscles ache. The better the fitness, the less problems you will behave in the training. It is not important if your have martial arts experience, but the overall fitness, a good stretch, and most importantly, a strong will to persevere.
You can walk home with her to prepare a lot of stretching and general fitness training. Even stairs / mountain climbing is a good preparation.
ARRIVAL
You book a flight to Beijing and take a domestic flight from Beijing to Zhengzhou. As a rule, the earlier you book a flight, the cheaper it is, therefore you should time yourself on your travel dates. The domestic flights can be booked by the travel agency in your home country
The journey from Beijing to Zhengzhou can also be finished by train, but it makes little sense. The airport in Beijing is located outside the city, so you must take a taxi (in Chinese) at the right station, and you (I mean it) must wait a long time and try to get a ticket for today. Often they are sold out, so that a hotel stay is required. Advice: travel by plane, and if you see you safely into the Chinese language and mentality feel, uses the train on the way back.
Once you've booked your flight, your arrival date, arrival time and flight number is sent to us.
The school bus will pick you at the airport in Zhengzhou and bring you to the Yuntai Mountain Culture And International Martial Arts School.
SCHOOL FEES
The school fees are paid in the Yuntai Mountain Culture And International Martial Arts School in RMB, US$ or EUR, there are no payments on due.
