Healthy skills and habits will lead to success in all aspects of their lives. These positive classes are aimed at younger students to teach them respect and good behaviour – both in and out of their Kung Fu classes. The class consists of a high instructor to student ratio.

Children will also develop the following:

  • Flexibility
  • Motor Fitness
  • Self Esteem
  • Self Defence
  • Confidence
  • Dealing with threatening situations
  • Life Skills
  • Team Work

Stranger awareness, emergency procedures and how to avoid bullying are all part of the syllabus. Practical Wing Chun work closely with parents to help improve behaviour at home and school, encouraging the early development of self discipline.

What is Wing Chun?

Self defense classes for kids

Wing Chun is a self defence system, said to have been invented by a woman more than 300 years ago. It is said to be the only Kungfu out of 300 types of Kungfu that is created by a woman. Wing Chun does not pit force against force. It works on diverting force and use structure and angles to manipulate attackers. Hence it is suitable for all ages.
