🏔️ Imagine traveling all the way from Switzerland to China to learn kung fu! That’s exactly what Swiss kung fu enthusiast Joel Achermann did.
In 2012, Joel visited the famous Shaolin Temple in Henan Province, China. The Shaolin Temple is like the Hogwarts of martial arts—it’s the birthplace of Shaolin kung fu! 🐉
Since his first visit, Joel has returned many times to a martial arts school near the temple to refine his skills. He trains hard to master the ancient moves and techniques taught by the Shaolin monks. 🥋
But Joel didn’t stop there. He wanted to share the wisdom of Shaolin with the world. So, he helped his teacher translate ancient Chinese martial arts texts into English! These books have now been published for everyone to read. 📚
Joel’s journey shows that with passion and dedication, you can bridge cultures and learn amazing things. Who knows? Maybe one day you’ll visit the Shaolin Temple too! 🌟
