Wing Chun Kung Fu

Our Wing Chun Kung Fu program teaches practical self-defence techniques while improving physical fitness and mental focus. Students learn traditional forms, close-range combat, and energy training. The structured curriculum develops coordination, reflexes, and body mechanics for effective self-protection.

Tai Chi & Qigong classes combine flowing movements with breathing techniques to enhance health and vitality. This ancient practice improves balance, joint mobility, and stress management while strengthening connective tissues. Regular practice promotes better posture, energy circulation, and mental clarity.

Children learn self-defence basics, respect, and teamwork while developing motor skills and emotional resilience. The curriculum supports school learning through focus-enhancing exercises.

IWKA Kung Fu Brisbane is a wonderful place to get your defence mojo on. I did the Women's defence class and it helped me to understand how to approach dangerous situations. It was fun and informative and a great place to meet new friends. Sifu Jurgen and Sije Hong are very experienced and fun trainers. I would highly recommend the defence classes or if you would like to dive in to Kung Fu world and learn from the best this is the place to go!

I have attended 2 workshops for women's self defence at Kung Fu Brisbane IWKA. I left both feeling energised and appreciative for the insightful way of teaching a fairly complex principle. Jurgen and Hong have a very enthusiastic but respectful approach and are very interested in both the student and the application of applying the new skills. They have the physical skill that motivates you to learn as well as the heart and mind being very naturally gifted in sharing technique and wisdom. The studio is very comfortable to practise in and convenient to parking/public transport. Like all good teachers

Sifu Jurgen is very passionate about teaching and after a few years of trying I finally experienced Tai Chi principles of Song and Kai. Sifu is very insightful and it feels like discovering a little bit of magic every day. Highly recommended for those who still believe in magic.

It is such a joy to witness both of my children growing with the ethos and compassion taught by Sifu. Both my son and daughter feel like valued team members, and their classes are really fostering such a beautiful sense of responsibility and self esteem. The community is wonderful, and my children adore Sifu and Sije thank you dearly for your devotion!

Last Saturday i joined the women self defence workshop. It was great!! Thanks Sifu and Sije Hong for the amazing teaching. They explain every movement very detail and make sure we do it correctly. Also, teach us how to say 'NO" and "STOP", the most powerful technique to protect ourself. For absolutely beginner it is super easy to pick up and follow. They also showed us others advance skill, how to train smartly and keep improving ourself. It is really great workshop and I do enjoy it a lot. Can't wait to lean more and be stronger.
