Shaolin Temple, university join hands to start kung fu courses for int'l students
Kung fu shrine Shaolin Temple in central China's Henan Province has signed an agreement with a local university to jointly train international students for bachelor's, master's and doctorate courses in the martial art.
According to the agreement between Shaolin Temple and Henan University Monday, they will enroll students from around the world to major in kung fu. The cooperation will allow kung fu lovers from more countries to learn and help promote traditional Chinese culture, said Shi Yongxin, abbot of the temple.
Last year, the university based in the provincial capital Zhengzhou founded the Wushu College, the only college of wushu or kung fu established by a comprehensive university in China so far.
