点评:Not What It Seems — A Warning for Future Students
I've always dreamed of training at the Shaolin Temple. When I found this school online, it looked like the real deal — traditional Shaolin Kung Fu, a serious environment, and an authentic experience.
The first week did feel that way. But very quickly, the truth started showing.
The people running this school — especially the Western woman managing things — are completely money-driven. There’s constant talk about payments, fees, and donations, and the way they speak about students behind their backs is disturbing. There’s also a clear double standard in how people are treated based on where they come from. Racism is a real issue here.
They claim to be affiliated with the official Shaolin Temple. That’s not true. They’re actually in bad standing with the real Temple and have misled many students — even going as far as promising Shaolin disciple names that mean nothing.
What shocked me most: you’re discouraged from going to the doctor even when sick. You're told to “push through” regardless of your condition. One student recently died because he wasn’t allowed to get proper medical help. That alone should be a red flag.
The structure is extremely rigid and hierarchical — not in a respectful, martial arts way, but in a toxic "do not question me" environment. If you have other responsibilities (like work), forget it — they expect full submission.
The training itself is basic, repetitive, and far from what you’d expect from a real Shaolin school.
I wish someone had warned me. So here’s my warning to you: don’t fall for the marketing. This is not the authentic Shaolin experience it claims to be. There are other schools — much better, safer, and more respectful — where you can train properly and be treated like a human being.
Do your research. But don’t waste your time or money here.
翻译:表里不一——给未来学员的警示
我一直梦想着去少林寺修行。当我在网上找到这所学校时,它看起来就像真的一样——传统的少林功夫、严肃的环境和真实的体验。
第一周确实感觉如此。但很快,真相就显露出来了。
经营这所学校的人——尤其是那位管理的西方女性——完全是金钱至上。他们总是谈论付款、学费和捐款,而且他们在背后议论学生的方式令人不安。此外,他们还明显存在双重标准,根据学生的出身来对待他们。种族主义在这里是一个真正的问题。
他们声称与官方的少林寺有联系。这并非事实。实际上,他们与真正的少林寺关系不佳,误导了许多学生——甚至承诺使用毫无意义的少林弟子名字。
最让我震惊的是:即使生病了,他们也不鼓励去看医生。无论你的情况如何,你都被告知要“坚持下去”。最近有一名学员因为没有得到适当的医疗救助而死亡。仅凭这一点就应该引起警惕。
这里的组织结构极其僵化,等级森严——这可不是武术中那种尊重的氛围,而是一种“别问我”的有害环境。如果你还有其他责任(比如工作),那就别想了——他们要求学员完全服从。
训练本身很基础,重复性很强,与你对真正的少林学校的期望相去甚远。
真希望有人警告过我。所以我要警告你:不要被营销所蒙蔽。这里并非它所宣传的正宗少林体验。还有其他学校——更好、更安全、更尊重——在那里你可以得到正确的训练,并受到像人一样的对待。
做好你的调查。但不要在这里浪费你的时间和金钱。
