No pain, no gain
David Simmons comes from London, but he is in China now for three months. He's a student
at the Dengfeng Kung Fu School. David speaks Chinese a little but he has no problem with this
because teachers can speak English too. At this school he gets up at five o'clock and starts
training immediately. The students of the school do not have time to have breakfast. If they late,
the teachers hit them with sticks. First they train their legs, arms and stomachs. They run up and
down 1,0000 steps and do press ups. The training is very, very hard. At half past seven they
have rice and soup for breakfast. They have a short rest and training starts again at nine o'clock.
They practice hitting with their hands and kicking with their feet. Then they have lunch and a
long rest. In the afternoon they train with sticks and swords. It is not dangerous because they do
not fight. At six o'clock they have a shower, and have dinner at ball past six - rice and soup
again - then they go to bed. When David goes back to Britain he wants to start a Kung Fu school
in London and teach people Kung Fu. He also wants to appear in films as Kung Fu fighter!
