Happy New Year 2025 everyone!
It’s time to give a more in depth explanation of our trip together to China in the summer of 2025:
- The trip takes place from 9th to the 20th of June 2025
- The trip is divided into two locations:
9.-12.6 Guangzhou
12.6-19.6 Guilin - 19.6 we return to Guangzhou to celebrate master Lü’s birthday together
- 20.6 has been reserved for leaving – master Lü will go back to Beijing and the rest of us are free to continue on our way as we see fit
- The maximum number of participants we can accept is 20 persons – sign-up soon and reserve your spot!
- Sign-up latest by 2nd of April 2025 from this link
The structure of the trip includes switching between tourism and training. Our daily schedule on the trip is:
- Breakfast together
- Training until lunch
- Lunch together
- The day’s tourist attraction (together or on your own)
- Dinner together
- Evening training for those who have the stamina
Master Lü will act both as our tour guide and teacher during this trip. Baji Association is not a travel advisory and will not be responsible for the trip. This means you are free to take a moment for yourself and move about by yourself or in smaller groups whenever outside of training. Participation does not require previous association or skills in martial arts – it’s enough that you want to come along and are willing to practise during the trip. We recommend packing training clothes on the trip, such as shorts, T-shirts, sneakers, etc.
You’re free to join us and leave whenever you see fit (e.g. arrive later, leave earlier, join us for Guangzhou but not Guilin, or only for Guilin, etc). We will let those of you who have signed up and been accepted to the trip know where will master Lü be staying and when. Based on this, you can customise your trip in accordance to your needs.
You will pay for your own flights, hotel and daily expenses (local travel and dining). Please book a cancellable hotel if you do, as master Lü will likely book our hotels for us as soon as we know who is going. We estimate that a suitable amount to manage the trip would be approximately 1500 euros (incl. hotels). Throughout the trip, master Lü will collect money from everyone for our dinner, travel and tourist attraction fees together. Please note that while master Lü will not be taking payments from his teaching on this trip, he will collect money for his hotels and dinner from us as a form of compensation for his time. Baji Association will also collect money from everyone for master Lü’s birthday present during the trip. This is entirely voluntary and you can participate in this with as small or as big of a contribution as you see fit. You can also decline to participate with no repercussions.
Please latest sign-up by 2.4.2025. To those who have signed up we will send a more detailed information packet about our schedule, as well as request more information about your flights and accommodations. Master Lü has promised to arrange our stay in Guilin. We will let everyone know if the 20 spots have been filled and we are no longer accepting more participants before the deadline.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch through baji[at]baji.info!
See you in China!
Warm regards,
Baji Association board
