Wing Chun Courses Offered

The International Wing Chun Academy offers a broad range of casual and full time courses for both local students and overseas students wishing to study in Australia.

Study Abroad in Australia


The International Wing Chun Academy is the first martial arts school to be registered by VETAB to offer accredited full time courses to overseas students wishing to study in Australia. The Academy's full time courses have attracted hundreds of full time students from within Australia and overseas (from countries such as Japan, Hong Kong, the United States, United Kingdom and Europe) keen to learn the unique system of Wing Chun Kung Fu as developed by Grandmaster Jim Fung, who was one of the world's leading practitioners of Wing Chun.

The Academy's Diploma and Certificate II, III and IV courses give overseas students the opportunity to learn our world class system of Wing Chun Kung Fu at flexible training hours abroad in Australia on a student visa. Under these courses, you will learn the necessary Wing Chun skills to establish your own school in your home country.

Campuses are located in Sydney, Adelaide and the Gold Coast.

Full Time Certificate II, III, IV and Diploma Courses


The International Wing Chun Academy is proud to be the first academy in Australia to offer nationally recognised training for martial arts / self defence instruction. We offer full time courses for students wishing to begin a career in the fitness or martial arts industries, or who simply want to improve their health and self defence ability. All approved Australian students are eligible for the AUSTUDY allowance.

There is an increasing global demand for qualified martial arts instructors, a career which Grandmaster Jim Fung describes as:

"... the job for the 21st century; a qualification which can be used anywhere in the world,
and a profession which benefits both your mental and physical well-being."

The full time course achieves in two years what part time or casual training achieves in six years, so it is also a desirable training option for many casual Wing Chun students who wish to accelerate their training.

For a minimum investment of students' time and money, the IWCA offers students a maximum return in the improvement of their future health and well-being.

Casual Wing Chun Classes


In each 90 minute class, students are separated into groups (also known as 'grades') according to skill level. Each group is taught by a qualified Wing Chun instructor who guides the students through the Academy's carefully constructed syllabus, designed to efficiently and effectively increase a student's speed, striking power and overall self defence ability. To ensure rapid progress, the Academy recommends that students attend at least two classes a week.

Once a student has sufficiently mastered the movements and techniques assigned to their grade, they are encouraged to attend a grading to move up to the next grade, where they will be exposed to even more advanced areas of Wing Chun and self defence. Gradings are conducted by several qualified instructors who assess a student's Wing Chun ability, give them feedback on their performance, and determine whether nor not a student is ready to progress to the next grade.

We have schools and branches throughout New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia, and students may enrol at any time of the year.

Specialty Classes for Women and Children


The International Wing Chun Academy also conducts special lessons to cater for the specific needs and interests of women and children. These classes are conducted in a similar manner to the general classes, but give emphasis to specific areas relating to women's self defence, such as harassment scenarios, and children's self defence, such as schoolyard bullying scenarios. Special lessons cater to the specific needs and interests of women and children.

Tailored Training Packages in Wing Chun Kung Fu


Tailored training packages are also available to schools, corporate and community groups. Studies have shown that participation in physical activities such as martial arts improves workplace productivity and social networking skills.
