Drunken fist is a chinese style of kung fu. More aptly today, it is a form in the wushu curriculum. However, I doubt you will find an abundance of schools in Japan. That doesn't mean that you won't, however, as it is a Chinese are and not Japanese, you may not find one very easily.

can a english speaking child immigrate to japan and learn japanese for free in a public school

can a english speaking child immigrate to japan and learn japanese for free in a public school?
this question is for a research paper i am doing. i want to know if an english speaking child can go to a public school and learn japanese for free, as part of his/her curriculum? or do they practice total immersion where it is up to the parents and dedication of the child to learn japanese so they can be a productive part of society.

Japanese schools now are teaching more and more English to Japanese children at school. But I would say it is not likely for school to offer Japanese education to English speaking children. As long as the child is a legal resident of Japan, he/she can go to public school and take all the classes, and Japanese IS one of the requirements all the children have to take. But it is not likely for the child to be able to keep up with any of the classes without knowing any Japanese Or it's not like for schools to offer any kind of tutoring or slow down classes for him/her. If the child is young, he/she will pick up Japanese quickly and will be able to keep up with classes eventually with his/her natural ability. But if he/she are a little older and need to learn all the classes fairy soon, then it's parents or the child responsibility to find tutor or private language school to study Japanese on his/her own.

In order to teach English in Japan, you need at least a bachelors degree. Once you graduate college, I suggest looking into to something called the JET program. You can get information on it from any Japanese consulate.
2 :
It will also be nessicary to speak quite good Japanese, otherwise you can't let people translate something from JA-EN and EN-JA.

You can take a CELTA course in Tokyo offered through the British council. The CELTA is the most internationally recognized ESL certification and is awarded by Cambridge University. The downside is that it is very expensive 420,000 yen, and it is only offered a couple times a year. http://www.britishcouncil.org/japan-english-teach-course-registration.htm Though, if you have a degree, that is usually all that is required to get a job teaching English in Japan.

Um I think it's the same?

Of course they do! Many high school students here go to cram school after regular school to have all the facts necessary to pass their college entrance exams forced into their heads. They have to take tests to enter prestigious junior high and high schools that lead up to good universities. If you need a lot of sleep or if you suck at memorizing things, you will have a problem here. I don't think most teachers make life difficult here, it's the other students. They always travel in packs and try to intimidate anyone who is different or a loner. They also hit and kick each other, destroy personal property, and snatch stuff from other students' bags and nothing is done about it. The teachers just try to get through each day and count the days to retirement.

There are well over 5,000 high schools in Japan, so it's a little hard to give you a comprehensive list. I assume you understand Japanese well, since high schools in Japan teach in Japanese. In that case, you can google with the word 高等学校 + name of the city/prefecture of your choice. You also need someone in Japan who can act as your guardian.

Here's a list of international schools because it's the only option for you: http://www.realestate-tokyo.com/info/school/ http://www.tokyowithkids.com/fyi/international_schools.html#tokyo_preschool2 http://www.weekender.co.jp/new/education/intl-schools-K-12.html They all cost about 1,500,000 yen to 2,200,000 yen (16,000 dollars to 23,000 dollars) per year and usually have an April to April academic year, which might be out to sync with your school. Plus you've got to feed and accommodate yourself for a year with someone that can be legally called a guardian.
