STORYLINE:
In a Wushu club located in the city of Sulaymaniyah in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, over 100 local Chinese martial arts enthusiasts clad in traditional training attire are diligently practicing Wushu routines.
Despite the midsummer heat of Sulaymaniyah, where the temperature has soared to above 40 degrees Celsius, their passion for Wushu burns even hotter.
Burhan Kamil is the founder of this Wushu club.
Like many foreign enthusiasts of Chinese Kung Fu, Burhan's fascination was sparked by Bruce Lee's movies. He devoured books, bought DVDs, and sought local masters, starting his martial arts journey at the age of eight.
As he delved deeper, his interest in Chinese culture grew stronger.
In 2011, Burhan embarked on a journey to China's Henan Province to pursue his Chinese Kung Fu dream. This dream-fulfilling journey provided Burhan with comprehensive Wushu training and a deeper understanding of the cultural logic and traditional spirit behind various Chinese martial arts styles.
Over the following years, Burhan returned to China multiple times for advanced training. In 2017, he established the Shaolin Wushu club in Sulaymaniyah, where he not only teaches Chinese Wushu but also introduces Chinese culture to numerous Iraqis.
The school has since enrolled over 3,000 Iraqi Wushu enthusiasts, ranging from children to elderly adults.
SOUNDBITE 1 (English): SORAN KHAFFAF, Wushu lover
"I am 59 years old. I've been here for about 15 years, (through) Shaolin Kung Fu, we've learned so many things about (Chinese) language, about their cultures, about so many things."
SOUNDBITE 2 (English): DANIEL BAHADEN, Wushu lover
"I was born in China's Shenzhen. I really want to go back to China. So I want to do something to get back some memories of China. I found Shaolin school here. I found myself in it and I really like it."
