Where you can train it
About the sport: Kung fu / wushu
What an ordinary class looks like
Chinese martial arts cover everything from forms and weapons to sanda, which is full contact with kicks, punches and throws. A class often begins with stances and mobility before moving into the style's own syllabus.
The scene in Norway
There are few clubs, but they tend to work across several styles at once: Wing Chun, wushu, sanda or tai chi in the same room. Check the timetable: what you are after may run one evening a week.

Questions about Kung fu / wushu
What is the difference between kung fu and wushu?
Kung fu is the umbrella term for Chinese martial arts; wushu is the modern, standardised competitive form with routines and sanda. Norwegian clubs use both words interchangeably.
Is there sparring?
It depends on the club. Sanda is full contact with throws, while form-based classes may have none at all. Ask before you join.
Are there clubs outside the big cities?
Few. The scene is concentrated in the largest cities, and a class may run one evening a week inside a club that otherwise does something else.
