Clothing

For training, it is good to bring loose trousers or shorts in the summer, t-shirts and in the winter some over-clothes or track suit wear. It is useful to have a pair of running shoes for jogging and stamina training, but for regular training, students usually wear a type of thin-sole trainers that can be bought easily after arriving.

To Consider

It is advisable to bring a power adapter if you are bringing any electrical equipment with you from your home country. There are power sockets in the rooms that students can use. You could also bring a basic medical bag with you and any other special items from your home that are unlikely to be available near the school.

Money and Banking

ATM's in Morocco can be used to take out money using a card. Cash can also be sent from a foreign country through the Wise application. Traveler's cheques can be cashed at a bank but may take a little while to process. Please note that the closest ATM is within 25 Km of the center. Plan accordingly

We do request a 500 dhs/$50 Security deposit to be refunded in full the day of your departure assuming your room is returned in good condition.

Health

In Morocco, local clinics and hospitals are well-equipped and have many western medicines. In a medical bag, it is convenient to have things like sunscreen, insect repellant, band aids, some cream or ointment for cuts and bruises, something for an upset stomach or nausea, any prescription or allergy medicine and multi-vitamins if taken.

Visitors are not recommended to drink un-boiled tap water in Morocco. For training, students either fill up their bottle with pre-boiled water from us freely or buy boxes of bottled water as they are quite inexpensive.

One of the best places I've been to if not the best, the room was spacious, and also the living room and kitchen and internet were super quick. If you are looking to retreat to somewhere quiet, with beautiful views and great weather, gym, fresh fruit, and also a chance to get involved in some meditation and Shaolin training and great fresh homemade cooked food this is the place to go. And finally, Sham and his family are the most beautiful human beings and made me feel like their own family, I will be 1000% returning as this is my new home from home. 5 stars all the way🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Sham and his family are honestly some of the warmest, most welcoming, kind and positive people I have met. Together with the staff, they made it a truly special experience for me.
The retreat is an amazing place. Beautiful, peaceful, spacious, clean and set against a backdrop of the Atlas Mountains. The staff are pleasant and polite and serve fresh made meals every day. Its about a 25- 30 minute taxi ride from the city, but the recommended taxi driver, Adil, and his guys are always on hand with fast service and great banter. There is also a small village about a 15 minute walk away where you can get supplies and it also has a couple of pharmacies.
The physical aspect of the retreat, if you choose to train, is suitable for all fitness levels. And, not only did we train with Sham, but also some local martial arts champions which was super fun! There are options for ice baths, sauna and a massage therapist to help you recover if you need,
Regardless if you want Kung Fu and conditioning, meditation and relaxation, support and guidance, laughter and comradery or you just want to do your own thing, or maybe all of the above, I highly recommend a visit to this retreat. Thank you Sham :)

Holidays and Time Off

Except the weekend, we have several holidays for Christmas, New Year and Morocco's National holidays. The student can stay in academy (Meals are served 7 days a week) or train if you want, and there are masters and translators on duty. Students can also travel or go back home with their family. (Students can ask for two weeks holiday to go back home if they wish)

We can help Students purchase different sort of clothes, snacks and daily necessities.

Training traditional Kung Fu in our academy includes many different fist forms, plus their applications, plus the Qi Gong The academy teaches the internal style of Xingyi, along with Qi Gong and Tai Chi for healing purposes. Younger students less than 16 years old are accepted if they are accompanied with their parent or older relatives – particularly a brother or a sister. Ensuring there is good quality teaching, every master is supposed to manage seven students in the winter and less than fifteen students around in the summer.

There is very good accommodation and the quality of the meals is top notch. Food nutrition is covered to satisfy the need of each student. Normally, there is one to two students sharing one room.
