University in UK, Law at Harvard in USA, or Movie Making
in California, USA, we can put you in touch with the
right people

a place of study before travelling abroad. We can even
help you with your study visa, and offer support for

What else can I study?
* Movies
Why not spend a few years studying movies in California,
USA?
We offer tailor made courses in co-operation with Peter
Stanleigh, who runs a specialist Movie School and a
large variety of courses from his base in Los Angeles.
You can choose from Camera Studies, Sound, Music scores,
Animation studio - as well as Acting Courses, which
also include free screen-testing and studio filming
for the best students.
The very best students are usually offered acting or
technical position contracts by major film studio's,
but this is up to you!
* Kung Fu
Locally known as 'Gongfu', Chinese Kung Fu is traceable
back to around 5, 000 BC or earlier. For over 200 years,
Foshan in China has been the world's premier Kung Fu
Arts and Heritage centre, and offers several Schools
of Excellence.
Kung Fu began in Foshan when the Imperial forces sacked
the famous Shaolin Temple in Futian Province. Refugees
fled amass, and many found shelter in Foshan. Most noteworthy
was a diminutive man called Wong Fei Hong (Huang Fei
Hong in Mandarin). His Father started the first Kung
Fu School of Excellence in Foshan, and he + many others
followed. Wong Fei Hong created a new style of fighting,
and this has been a common form for practitioners to
follow ever since
The next person you need to know about is called Ip
Man, and he fought and won a battle with a Japanese
General in Foshan. Recently China Film Studios has released
a film about his life, which is very well worth watching.
Whilst victorious in battle, Ip Man was shot in the
neck by a Japanese lackey, and escaped with his life
to Hong Kong. Later he returned to Foshan and started
a new Gongfu School of excellence, which is now celebrated
at The Ancestral Temple in the middle of Foshan City.
In his latter years a regular pupil was a certain Bruce
Lee ... and I am sure you have heard of him!
However, the modern focus of Gongfu in Foshan is currently
based around a small hill called Xi Qiao (Where Wong
Fei Hong's Father settled). Here you will find the Memorial,
and also several schools all teaching Kung Fu
Whilst most classes cover several months, or years;
there are special courses run for foreigners, and foreign
experts are particularly welcome! China Expats can
offer exclusive and bespoke deals for any Kung Fu holidays
