Audacious Expression
- Zhejiang Mantis Kungfu Retreat
All creatures - the low and the high - are one with nature.
Any life is insignificant. If we have the wisdom to learn, all may teach us their virtues.
From the crane we learn grace and self-control.
The snake teaches us subtleness and rhythmic endurance.
The praying mantis teaches us speed and patience.
And from the tiger, tenacity and power.
And from the dragon we learn to ride the wind.
-- Master Kan
Length : 2 days, 2 nights
Location: The retreats are organised in different temples. Usually it takes around 2-2.5 hours driving by bus from the gathering place. All the temples we choose will be quiet, less touristic, located in the mountain areas or in the countryside. Most of the time we are going to Zhejiang Jiashan area or Suzhou Taihu area.

With its spirit of upwards, Jingwumen always expresses the part of spirit of Shanghai for resilence and moving forward
Courage is not about the fierce action out of fear,
but the soft perseverance towards faith... 
The practice is about the alignment of the intention and its action, it is not about the result of the actions. The more we can detach from the disturbance, the more we are connected.
