Educating Children
Lang and Hou believe teaching children martial arts will inspire them to overcome challenges and difficulties, with tenacity and great willpower. In their school, children from families living in difficulties receive martial arts training for free.
The children live every day of their lives to the fullest — practicing wushu very hard to achieve good performances in various competitions.
The school had just 50 students when it opened in 1999. Today, it has more than 1,500 students, in a combined 50-plus classes. In addition to martial arts, the children can study free sparring, karate, Chinese-style tumbling, archery, diving, and fine arts. More than 20 of the school's students have won top prizes during international competitions, more than 400 have won top prizes during national competitions, and the school's students have earned more than 4,800 gold medals during competitions, at all levels.
