Nam Yang Kung Fu Retreat

Nam Yang Kung Fu Retreat is a residential martial-arts school in the mountains near Pai, northern Thailand. Its current options include flexible OpenStay training and longer Kung Fu or Qigong instructor courses, with accommodation and meals built around the training programme.

Students can choose shared, double or private rooms. The purpose-built facilities include covered and outdoor practice areas, a martial-arts gym, traditional training equipment, dining space, gardens and laundry. Training covers Kung Fu, Qigong, meditation and related philosophy rather than a general spa-retreat schedule.

The format suits people who want sustained, physically demanding practice and simple on-site living. Prospective students should review fitness expectations, course length, room standard, rest days and what is included before booking. Martial-arts training carries injury risk and the operator’s self-mastery language is not a health guarantee.
