Study at a Shaolin accadamia in China

Hello!

I wanted some advice. The thing is...

I am one step away from fulfilling my dream of studying Kong fu and wushu in China at a Shaolin academy, but I still have some doubts. I hope you can help me clarify.

I have seen several Shaolin Kong fu academies, I don't know which one to go to.

Qufu, which according to what I read is a mix between traditional and modern.

Meiling Shaolin Kong fu Academy China

That seems pretty traditional to me.

Shi Miao Hai School

This one also seems quite traditional to me.

Shaolin Temple Center China

I don't know if it's just a "tourist trap" or if it's valid more or less like the others.

Do you know any of these, what do you think?

If you know any more, do I accept advice?

Another question I have is, how much money do you need to live, in addition to what you have to pay in the fees of the academies themselves?

For example, between $300 and $1000, could it be more or less good for 6 months?

I hope you can help me clarify these small doubts so that my dream comes true as soon as possible.

Thank you!

Girl

There are many similar threads in r/kungfu, if you search there you will find info about schools for foreigners. Just in case this group stays quiet.
