Can you take kung fu classes online?

Numerous websites provide free Kung Fu instruction for online learners, including the Sheng Chi Foundation, Wushu Shaolin and the Black Mantis Academy. Lessons are streamed on video and described in pictures and written instructions.

Several websites offer a large amount of instructional videos for free, but an online Kung Fu lesson lacks real world application with an instructor. This means no sparring or travel, which is a point of promotion for the Sheng Chi school. Most Kung Fu websites are extensions of actual dojos or schools, and lessons are organized by skill level, age, gender and speciality or specific focus.
