Kungfuology went down to Zhong Shan Park in Shanghai to see if you really can wander into a park in China and find a Kung Fu teacher. It seems you can. In this two part vidcast, we meet 71 year old teacher Pu Rujie and his student Shaun Hogan. Despite Pu Laoshi's advanced years and Shaun's hip replacement they still get down to the park and train every single day - putting kungfuology's training ethic to shame.
Pu Laoshi is a famed coach and judge for Shanghai's Chang Ning district but now teaches strictly traditional in his retirement years: Shaolin Cha Quan and the traditional Chinese weapons.

Hello Andy and Cameron, Thanks very much for featuring us on Kungfuology. I'll make sure to find a way to show this site to Pu Laoshi and the other students in Zhongshan Park. I also took the liberty to feature Kungfuology on one of the entries on my blog http://worldronin.spaces.live.com Thanks again for the props. Let's get together again sometime here in Shanghai. Cheers, Shaun Hogan
