The total cost is going to be about $3000 that includes everything, passport, roundtrip plane tickets, lodging, food, training in kung fu, tour, everything.
I'm really split on whether I should go or not. I don't think I'll ever get the chance to go to china again, but then again it's $3000. I saw online that shi de yang charges only $550 for a month of kung fu training and that includes everything. With the plane ticket it'd come up to about $1800 for the month.
I was wondering if anyone here thought it was worth it to train in china for a couple weeks? and do you think that the trip my school is offering is worth it as well?
Its a cultural thing, and there is something very inspiring about training a MA in its native land.
Don't expect to learn how to fling chi balls out of your arse, just enjoy the experience that you may only have once in a lifetime.
