China Camp 2007, December 1-15, 2007 …

a Chinese internal martial art training “camp” in Shanghai and San Qing Shan at the base of a Taoist Mountain in central Jiangxi Province. More than 140 participants from 10 countries met for 15 days to learn from master teachers and assistants of 9 Chinese internal martial disciplines. In remote San Qing Shan village, now a small seasonal resort area, people met and trained, helping to preserve this ancient knowledge, to challenge themselves, and meet old friends and make new ones.

China Camp '04 and '07 are culturally and historically significant events in which several top artists came together in rare cooperation to teach Taijiquan, Bagua, Xingyiquan, Shaolin, Lan Shou, and Tongbei to non-Chinese learners who traveled from around the world to study with them.

China Camp was begun by Master George Xu (Xu Guo Ming) who has worked for years to promote education and preservation of Chinese internal martial arts and the knowledge and philosophies inherent in their practice.
