Shaolin Kung Fu App Review
The Shaolin Kung Fu app, developed by YMAA, is an Android-based lifestyle program designed for beginners who want to learn the basics of Kung Fu. The app offers step-by-step video lessons that teach the fundamental stances, stretching routines, proper alignment, posture, and extensive punching and kicking drills.
Kung Fu master, Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming instructs three hours of video lessons in Course 1 and Course 2. The first course teaches stretching, fundamental stances, and extensive hand drills, while the second course teaches walking, hopping, jumping, sense of distance training, and extensive kicking techniques. The app also provides English and Spanish subtitles, and a single in-app purchase (IAP) grants access to full-length videos.
The app is an excellent training tool for all martial artists, particularly for those interested in tracing back the roots of Asian martial arts like karate and jujitsu. The follow-along kung fu lessons are like attending a one-on-one class with an acclaimed kung fu master. The videos teach the essential foundation of Shaolin kung fu exercises, and help one become more flexible and fit. The app is free to download with sample videos, and the in-app purchase provides access to low-cost kung fu lessons.
