Do Chinese learn Kung Fu in school in China?

I always see movies that show kids in China learning Kung Fu. Do they learn it in school? or are there some who go to a temple to learn while other kids do not?|||It is not the normal curriculum in primary and middle school, although there are clubs or informal class in some high schools and universities. It is not much different from the west, where you go have to go to a martial arts school to learn kungfu, and it is not only in temples such as the Shaolin Temple, but private schools such as those found in the west.|||Parent may put children in a special school where they learn martial arts and study as they would at normal school. They can learn martial arts at a temple, at a 'Gung Fu guan' (dojo), or a gym as in America. Though Wushu is the dominant martial art in China, it is not the only martial art. Taekwondo is also very popular in China. Brazilian jiujitsu and Muay Thai have been introduced. Muay thai probably won't catch on in China because of Sanda.|||They do not teach it in school but most of the kids of the people who train at the temples stay there and get really good because of the early training they get.|||They train in temples some martial artists such as Chinese Actor Gordon Liu skipped School to learn Martial arts so I think you have to train in the temples in China
