Fitness and Self Defence for Adults

Grandmaster Jim Fung demands excellence from all his teaching personnel

Authentic Training in Wing Chun Kung Fu


The Academy’s Principal Instructor is Grandmaster Jim Fung, a genuinely qualified Chinese master whose lineage can be traced directly back to the founder of the Wing Chun system, Ng Mei. Grandmaster Fung has been training under renowned Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin (Tsui Seung Tin), chairman of the esteemed Hong Kong Ving Tsun (Wing Chun) Association and himself taught by the legendary Yip Man, since 1960. Grandmaster Fung himself is a permanent direct of the VTAA.

Wing Chun Classes


The International Wing Chun Academy caters for men and women of all ages and fitness levels who are serious about ensuring their personal safety, keeping fit and losing weight. It is not necessary to have prior fitness or knowledge of martial arts when commencing lessons with us. Self defence skills are acquired rapidly in a friendly, helpful atmosphere, and members are often surprised at the efficiency of techniques learned from the first day of training. The risk of injury is minimal as most techniques are non-contact and students are taught to be in full control when practising.

The IWCA teaches you how to overcome a larger and physically stronger opponent without using brute force

Practicality and Minimum Use of Brute Strength


All techniques taught are practical, logical and direct and comply with scientific principles. Most importantly, they do not rely on brute strength which only works against smaller opponents but fails against stronger attackers. Along with its fitness and self defence benefits, our Wing Chun system also assists with mental relaxation, a bonus for the many business and professional workers enrolled in our classes.

Convenience


For the convenience of these members and others whose working hours limit opportunities for leisure pursuits, the Academy’s three state centres in Sydney, Adelaide and the Gold Coast are open seven days a week. Classes are held in the morning, afternoon and evening on most days. In Sydney city alone, we have over 38 classes per week for adults to choose from. This is particularly useful for shift workers and travelers, as membership is transferable to our other branches interstate.

Affordable Training


Cost-wise, lessons are very economical. Members who attend five lessons per week find that their training rate is less than a few dollars an hour. This is exceptional value when considering the Academy’s reputation for teaching excellence, having been in operation for over 34 years.
