3. Preparation
It is recommended for students to do some preparations before coming as training is intensive. Stamina exercise for example, running, swimming, cycling, or other forms of exercise are good ways as physical preparations. Exercises to improve flexibility and strength are helpful such as stretching and gymnasium exercises will be effective. If before you arrive you have not done any physical activity, you should expect to have some muscle pain. This is normal for the first week of training and will pass very soon.
It is important to be mentally prepared to adapt to a new environment and living conditions as it maybe a totally new country and new culture to you. Please do remember that our camp is located in the countryside of China, next to mountain area. However, the transpoetation is very convenient and the nearest hospital is only 1 kilometer away.
4. Health & Vaccination and Insurance
It is not required from our training center to hand in your health condition. Before arrival is indicated that you have a medical examination, and if you have any special cases, please Do note it in your application form.
Regarding Vaccinations, here is the one suggested by the National Health Ministry for students before you start boarding school:
BCG vaccine, polio vaccine, DPT triple vaccine, measles vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine
There are differences of insurance policies between countries. It is highly recommended to nuy yourself at least a travel insurance before you come. It is important as it can cover unexpected illness and injuries. If you don’t buy an insurance before coming, it is recommended to buy one in China. Please make sure you are clear about all the insurance clauses before you buy it.
5. What to bring
It is suggested to bring sport clothes, loose trousers, running shoes, a power adapter (if you bring electrical equipment from your home country) and anything you use for your daily routine at home.
For regular training, students usually wear a type of trainers that can be bought here, as well as training uniforms and weapons.
It is suggested to bring some medicine, like anti diarrhea, buprofen or pain relievers for headache, toothache, muscular, menstrual cramps and fever, sunscreen, insect repellant, band aids, allergy medicine, cream or ointment for cuts and bruises, and Electrolytes for hydration.
It’s better to buy an eSIM card before arrival or a SIM card at the airport if you need, and it’s also okay to buy it in the city of Chengdu here.
6. Internet, and Mail
The training center has Internet free to use that students can use to check their emails, and contact with family and friends. From the post office in the local city, parcels can be received or sent abroad, but may take some time.
It ia suggested to download a VPN (we recommend Yuutto Accelerator VPN) to use Facebook, YouTube and other international websites and APPs.
7. Money and banking
Alipay is widely used for shopping in China. ATM at the Bank of China can be used to withdraw money by using a card. It is very important that you inform your bank of your travel and the length of stay. Some cards will not work at ATM Bank of China. Traveler’s cheques can be cashed at a bank such as the Bank of China but may take a little while to process.
Food and accommodation are included in costs for the training center so it is not necessary to spend much extra money whilst training other than for snacks, travelling and shopping. Students are likely to find that stuffs are much cheaper in China than in their homecountry. We would suggest you to bring 1000 RMB, which can be withdrawn from airport in China. If you bring cash with you, make sure the notes are in good conditions because they may not exchange them for you.
