Academic Explorers Testimonials

AE Students

"It was as if Academic Explorers instructors drew back the curtain, and I was introduced to the “behind the scenes” of martial arts.  Academic Explorers has completely changed my perception of martial arts, meditation and the experience of life."        - Robert

"The Academic Explorers immersion courses have excellent teachers.  It’s definitely hard but you are going to learn a lot.  The immersion way is a nice way to do it because you don’t have to rely on English and you just start to think the language instead of translating it in your head." - Andrew

"I came into the Academic Explorers program learning how to count to ten in Chinese, and by the end of the three months I was having philosophy classes on [the classic Daoist philosophical text] The Dao De Jing in Mandarin!" - Joe

"I have found that through Kung Fu I am learning to see myself as I am, and how I could be. I have become aware of what kind of leader I can be and how I can push others to do their best by leading by example." - Mike

"The more I think about the principles of Taiji the more I find I can apply to my life All the “negative” things that we encounter are just opportunities to love and grow.  So they are really gifts.  But this can only be if one sees it that way." - Andy

"I know that not a single part of the Academic Explorers program was wasted and that all of it was not only useful but the time of my life." - Dakota
