"Great immersion into QiGong and Kung Fu with fantastic peopl"

Before going there I only knew a bit of QiGong, and Shaolin temples were attracting me as an idea, but I was not ready to go all the way to China. So I was happy to find this retreat in Europe, and went there not knowing what to expect. It turned to be an excellent experience. It was a great way to experience QiGong and Kung Fu in a natural beautiful setting, in the mountains, by the lake. The teacher was embodying great values, I could constantly see the calm and strength in him. Both him and the hotel people, and all his helpers were excellent hosts. The participants were from all over, from different countries, and I'd say we formed a great group, and I made new friendships. The training was adequate for a beginner like me, and at the same time there was opportunities for the more advanced people to train more intensively. I fell in love with Kung Fu because it's more than a training, it's a philosophy and a way to connect to yourself and everything around.

"Liberating Mind, Body & Soul. "

It was my first experience to learn Kung Fu and my first travel to Greece, although my stay was shorter because I had to return earlier than expected, a few days were enough for me to understand the art of kung fu and how liberating it is to express oneself through it, I am very grateful to Christos for his wisdom, calmness mind and beautiful friendship, also for his patience, I felt as a family and as a team together with Shifu Chris and Thanos.

Absorbing the energy in the castle in the top of the mountain of Ancient Korinthos was a magical experience and feeling on top of the world practicing kung fu brought me back to my center.

I loved the food and the smiles of the people in the town and the energy of Apollos temple.

I am looking forward to level up my Kung Fu for the next camp, Gracias infinitas!

"Maria UM "

The most positive for me was that we learned step by step, getting very good patiently instructions and corrections from our shaolin master. The positive was for me also that the shaolin camp was in beautiful pure nature. The accommodation, staff and the food was very nice too. And also that the staff accept my special needs for the food: vegan and gluten free, this is for my health important too.

Especially my thanks to our excellent, kind and patient shaolin teacher.

"everybody was Kung Fu Fighting"

The knowledge and training provided was totally beyond my expectations.

The master is authentic, passionate, a great character and huge inspiration. He takes care of the needs of every individual. You can choose the style and intensity of your training. The camp attracts a great mix of people from all over Europe and it felt like a family from the start.

The location is minimalist, but great and offers a perfect climate. I miss the food already.

The locations for training vary daily so the week is also a chance to explore the amazing nature of the area. There’s also enough time to rest and recover in between.

In the end the costs are nothing in comparison to what you’re getting.

I‘ll be back.

The camp is a great space for anyone in need of healing and training. Sifu Chris works with each and every person individually respecting everyone’s differences and personal limitations. Great food, great people, great sight scene, great accommodation, I would have stayed a whole month! Very happy and grateful for the time spent there and coming back again (and again) x

Where to begin! Everything from start to finish was truly wonderful. I came to the camp with little experience and I was warmly welcomed and felt supported and inspired to learn from the beginning. Chris is an excellent teacher who shares his knowledge with passion, patience and energy. Every activity, practice, meal and moment was a true delight. The camp has a wonderful energy- I left feeling energised and inspired. An experience I will always treasure.

"Perfect experience accompanied with beautiful nature "

The location is very beautiful and peaceful, perfect for practicing martial arts. Instructor was very good, he has a lot of knowledge, only the language was a little barier. I recommend the experience for every person who is willing to learn something new and experience a little bit of continental Greece.

"Positive overall attitude. Very welcoming "

I liked the whole experience. From the attitude of the staff to the training style. I thought it a very genuine experience. I have a serious leg injury and my training was always done at a pace that was safe and healthy for me while still achieving the goals of the programme. Not just martial arts but guidance in so many ways. I can't praise them enough. Always being part of a team they are very inclusive. Even though I don't have a word of Greek I was never left out of the loop. Also if I wanted my own space outside of training times my personal space was respected. A second and probably third trip will definitely be arranged.
