Things to do before you attend the Rising Dragon Martial Arts School.
To make it easier for yourself when you start training at our School, before you attend, you should try and do some of the following exercises: Squats, Push-ups, Sit-ups, Bike riding, Swimming, Short Sprints, Long Distance Running, Hiking, Gymnastics, Aerobics, Yoga or Daily Stretching.
Most of the time you will be Training so you will mostly need Tracksuit bottoms, T-shirts, Shorts, Vests, Sweat Shirts. On your days off there are lots of beautiful places to visit in and around the Taining area so bring some casual clothes too, such as jeans and shirts. If you are coming in the winter months then you will want to bring some warm cloths too, such as Hat, Scarf, Gloves and a Coat.
Generally Clothes are cheap in China and will probably be cheaper than your home country so you might want to think of just bringing the essentials and buy some extras when you arrive in China.
In the summer months there are Mosquitoes about so you might want to bring some repellents with you.
For a start Malaria is a low level risk in Taining but insect repellents would be a good idea. The following Immunisations are recommended to potential students: Diphtheria, Hepatitis A, Tetanus, Japanese Encephalitis and Typhoid. The following are voluntary: BCG (TB Tuberculosis), Hepatitis B, Polio and Rabies. Also recommended are some useful medicines, such as those for colds, diarrhoea and constipation.
If you travel outside your home country for business or pleasure, your domestic health care plans may not be designed to provide coverage while you are out of the country. A travel insurance policy is a very good idea. It is possibly the best way to protect you against medical costs related to illness or injury, and against theft or loss of possessions and other accidents that may occur during your time in China. With this in mind, we recommend that you purchase necessary travel insurance, which provides coverage for international travellers.
We can send you an Invitation letter to help you acquire a 6 month visa and if needed we can extend your visa in China. If you are staying for 3 months or less then we recommend you to go directly to your local Chinese Embassy and ask for a 3 month tourist Visa.
Taining has semi-tropical weather. The highest temperature in the summer reaching 34°C and the lowest temperature in the winter going below -5°C. However, because our school is in the mountains of Taining, the summer is cooler than in the town.
First you will need to book a flight to either Beijing (Capital of China), Shanghai or Hong Kong. Then you will need a second flight to Wu Yi Shan Airport. Shanghai is the closest to Wu Yi Shan. We can pick you up from Wu Yi Shan or you can get a train to Sanming City and we will pick you up from Sanming train station. You can not get a train to Sanming City from Hong Kong. Wu Yi Shan Airportis a 2 hour drive to our School and Sanming City is a 1 hour drive to our School.
