Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 10 September 2026

Welcome to the website of the International Shaolin Dragon Academy (“ISDA”, “we”, “our” or “us”). These Terms and Conditions apply to your use of shaolinxl.com and to applications and bookings made through this website.

By using our website, submitting an application or making a payment, you agree to these Terms.

ISDA is a martial arts education provider based in Dengfeng, Henan Province, China. We provide martial arts training, accommodation, cultural activities, camps and related student services.

ISDA’s international applications, bookings, payments and administration are managed by Master Shifu Ltd, United Kingdom.

You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes. You must not:

• Provide false or misleading information;
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website;
• Introduce viruses or harmful software;
• Misuse our application, payment or contact forms; or
• Copy, reproduce or commercially use our content without permission.

We may restrict access if we reasonably believe the website is being misused.

All text, logos, images, videos, graphics and course materials on this website are owned by or licensed to ISDA.

You may use website content for personal, non-commercial purposes only. It must not be copied, modified, published, sold or distributed without our written permission.

We make reasonable efforts to keep our website accurate and up to date. However, photographs, videos, schedules and programme descriptions are provided for for general guidance.

Programmes, instructors, schedules, prices, accommodation, activities and facilities may change where reasonably necessary.

If website information differs from your written booking confirmation, the booking confirmation will normally take priority.

Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. A place is confirmed only after:

• Your application has been accepted;
• The required payment has been received; and
• Written booking confirmation has been issued.

Applicants must provide complete and accurate personal, medical, travel and emergency contact information.

We may refuse an application if the programme is unavailable or unsuitable, required information has not been provided, payment is overdue, or acceptance would create a safety, safeguarding or legal concern.

Fees and payment deadlines will be shown on the relevant programme page, invoice or booking confirmation.

Unless otherwise confirmed in writing:

• The application fee is USD $100;
• The application fee covers application processing, administration and document preparation;
• The application fee is non-refundable once processing has begun, except where required by law or where we cannot process the application; and
• All remaining fees must be paid by the stated deadline.

Payments must only be made through methods officially approved by ISDA.

Cancellation and refund requests must be submitted in writing to hello@shaolinxl.com. Refund eligibility will depend on the applicable programme policy, the cancellation date, services already provided and costs already incurred.

No refund will normally be provided for unused training, accommodation, meals or activities after arrival, voluntary early departure or removal for serious misconduct. This does not affect any mandatory legal rights.

Changes to dates, programmes or accommodation are subject to availability and written approval. Additional charges may apply.

Students are responsible for obtaining a valid passport, the correct Chinese visa and any other permission required for travel.

ISDA may provide supporting documents where available, but we cannot guarantee visa approval, processing times or decisions made by government authorities.

Visa refusal does not automatically create a right to a refund. Students should avoid booking non-refundable travel before receiving their visa.

Airport or railway station collection must be arranged in advance. Students must provide accurate arrival details and promptly report any changes.

Martial arts, combat sports, sparring, weapons training, acrobatics, stunt training and physical activities involve an inherent risk of injury.

Students must:

• Ensure they are medically fit to participate;
• Disclose relevant medical conditions, injuries, allergies and medication;
• Follow instructors’ directions and safety rules;
• Use required protective equipment; and
• Stop training and inform an instructor if they feel unwell or unsafe.

We may modify or restrict participation where reasonably necessary for safety.

International students must obtain suitable travel and medical insurance covering martial arts training, medical treatment, emergency evacuation, repatriation and trip cancellation.

Students are responsible for medical and related expenses not covered by insurance.

Applicants under 18 require written permission from a parent or legal guardian.

Unless agreed otherwise:

• Students under 15 must travel and stay with a parent or legal guardian; and
• Students aged 15–17 may attend with written parental or guardian consent.

Admission is subject to suitable safeguarding, supervision, accommodation and visa arrangements.

Students must follow Academy rules and treat instructors, staff, visitors and other students with respect.

Violence, bullying, harassment, illegal drugs, theft, deliberate damage, dangerous behaviour, serious disruption or breaches of Chinese law may result in suspension or removal from the Academy.

Students removed for serious misconduct will be responsible for resulting costs and will not normally receive a refund.

Accommodation arrangements and room requests are subject to availability. Students are responsible for their belongings and may be charged for deliberate or negligent damage to Academy property.

We may make reasonable changes to programmes because of safety requirements, instructor availability, weather, public holidays, government restrictions or operational needs.

We are not responsible for delays, changes or cancellations caused by events outside our reasonable control, including natural disasters, epidemics, immigration policy changes, civil unrest or transport disruption.

Where possible, we will offer reasonable assistance or alternative arrangements. Any refund, credit or date transfer will depend on the circumstances, recoverable costs and applicable programme conditions.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or any liability that cannot legally be excluded.

Subject to the above, we are not responsible for losses that:

• Were not reasonably foreseeable;
• Result from inaccurate information provided by the student;
• Arise from failure to follow instructions, laws or visa requirements; or
• Relate to flights, travel or third-party services not arranged by us.

Nothing in these Terms removes any mandatory consumer rights.

Personal information is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Information may be shared with organisations involved in processing applications, payments, visas, accommodation or student services where reasonably necessary.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, you may unsubscribe at any time.

Our website may contain links to third party websites. We are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.

Please report any problem during your stay to the Academy as soon as possible so that we have an opportunity to resolve it.

Formal complaints should be emailed to hello@shaolinxl.com and include your full name, booking reference, details of the issue and relevant supporting evidence.

Services delivered at the ISDA campus are subject to the applicable laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China.

International booking, payment and administrative services may also be subject to the laws of England and Wales.

Nothing in this section removes any mandatory consumer rights available under applicable law.

We may update these Terms when our services, operations or legal obligations change.

The version in effect when a booking is confirmed will normally apply to that booking. The latest version will be published on this page with its revision date.
