Well folks, the Wolf is off to China on Sunday for just over two weeks training with some Chinese kungfu masters in Fuzhou in South East China.

Will thinks it would be fun if I posted progress reports on here so, if I am clever enough to sort my lap-top, I shall try to keep you up to date with it all.

It will be two weeks of early starts, culture shocks and some pretty challenging experiences I reckon as five of us from my kungfu club in Sussex go into serious training mode - and not just down some old Chinese pub where they sell chilled Guinness. Check out my club on http://www.whitecranefightingarts.com

The two masters that we will meet will teach us patterns in their particular disciplines within the White Crane Kungfu style which has its origins in this part of Southern China - Fujian Province.

The first specialises in Shaking Crane which uses a series of sophisticated techniques of body shaking that allows you to summon up all your energy through your body to your finger tips to devastating effect. If you remember the end of Kill Bill Two you will know what I mean.

The second master is, appropriately enough, a Dog Style specialist. This is seriously scary stuff - with a lot of emphasis on ground fighting and rolling around.

This is the sort of thing I'll be doing.....by the way, in case we haven't met, I'm the attractive furry creature helping the athletic kungfu guy:

So the Wolf will feel pretty shaken up by all that jumping a round. Will he survive it? Will the Masters chuck him out? Or will he come back transformed?

Watch this space to find out.

I'm gonna try to but I am seriously challenged on the old posting video front.

I am excited about it but scared too.

Wolfie,

All the best on your trip. I am sure despite the hard work you will come back a much better martial artist for all your experiences out there. I look forward to reading your blog and hearing about it all.
