someone said regarding China:
"most commercial schools are only allowed, or only capable, of teaching chinese kung fu up to a certain degree, and in order to learn the "full" art, you must actually receive a license from the ccp- a notoriously difficult process. many members of the chinese secret police, as well as members of the military elite and the jun wei shou jian are proficient in these "forbidden" forms."
I am in China now and I have to say, I am not sure what you mean by commercial schools. Is commercial a school that makes money? Most teachers make money. Anyway you dont need any special license to teach a full art. There are many teachers here who actually teach complete ass kicking methods. The government may have formalities that you are reading about or looking at from the outside, I dont know, but that idea in no way defines the Chinese situation.
