The journey for UR-Conficius Institute kungfu club to MUHANGA countryside was very wonderful and more profitable to the students on both side.It took place especilly in TIGER WUSHU CLUB on 03/12/2015. In fact, as the main objective of this trip was teaching communication among clubs,arriving to TIGER WUSHU CLUB,the students of UR-Conficius Institute with his Master Suwen were welcomed by TGER WUSHU  CLUB.

The starting point was demonstration of tiger wushu club and showing the visitors their dairly practice including TAOLU,SANDA and different traditional Dances in MUHANGA DANCING COMMUNITY so that it was very well looked and interested to the audiences as they were more than how we thought as soon as possible.After their presentation one student whose Name’s Su Si Yuan from UR-Conficius Institute kung fu club presented drunken style which was the most attractive and wonderful one,where everyone saw this style at the first time in Rwanda and started asking our Kungfu Master Suwen how they would learn this style but time was limited.

After this style,Conficius Institute kungfu Master made a speech about his experiences of teaching martial art here in Rwanda,He started thanking them for how they welcomed us in MUHANGA TIGER CLUB and told them that was not only visit but olso a day of teaching communication among clubs through Chinese Martial Arts and Chinese language used in this kind of sports by helping them how they should get real information about learning Chinese Kungfu. He told them five basic key points to be discussed and explained them one by one and step by step including the followings:The first one was five basic WUSHU FOUNDATION,TAOLU,BREATHNG,SANDA and most usefull DEMONTRATIONS.during this time our Kungfu Master worked hard in order to change everything in this club because most usable words and position was not related to real Chinese Kungfu.He also changed the name of this Club from MUHANGA TIGER WUSHU CLUB to FLY TIGER WUSHU CLUB and change it into Chinese Name;FEI HU WUSHU JU LE BU.and give the Chinese Name to Master for this club;SU FEI HU.then other two Students were given Chinese Name including;CHAO QUN means beyond cloud and TIEN HUA which mean sky bliant.

During this day everyone was very happy to see the Master of real Chinese Kungfu as the source of Kungfu found here in Rwanda and asked him to return again because most people of this countryside like so much this kind of Martial Arts and he promise them in name of Chinese people to help them as soon as possible.
