Academy students get great results at the international competition held by Changyuan Chinese Wushu Association, China.

On 11th of July 2015, the students of the Songshan Shaolin Traditional Wushu Academy together with Shifu Konstantinos Mathiopoulos and Shifu Grigorios Stamatopoulos went to take part in the First International Competition organised by the Changyuan Chinese Wushu Association. At the competition took part 9 students of which we won 2 gold medals, 2 silver, 3 bronze and we got a fourth place.
