Classes today and plans for the weekend!





Hi guys!

We’ve had an amazing week of training, today is lunch class at 12:15pm, Francey is having a well deserved break and Amy will be taking that class. Meanwhile Vadim is taking tonight’s 6:30pm class: Finishing off a week of kicking with fun combos, change ups and spinning kicks.

Tomorrow is 9am Conditioning with Frances, 10am Wing Chun with Sifu and 11:15am Juniors Grading – plan for 90mins mums, dads and carers!

Sunday is BJJ at 9:30am – Andrew is away this weekend, our thoughts are with you Andrew – but the class will be covered by our amazing BJJ seniors. Afterwards is the Never Be A Victim Seminar at 11am with Sifu. It is filling up, but we have plenty of space here so more are welcome to attend. It will be a 2 hr session, no experience necessary.

Finally spots are filling up for the school holiday program! It’s open to all ages (4.5yrs to teens). So book in ASAP if you want your child to attend! It’s $99 per day (5hrs) running on the Tues & Thurs of the school holidays.

Have a great weekend and stay safe.

Theme Today and Coming Weeks, Kids School Holiday Program… What to do??


Wing Chun Wednesday.

This week we’re finishing up the kicking theme by working on your conditioning, including stretching and endurance training as well as accuracy with timing strength & power – all in addition to technical aspects of Wing Chun kicks like rebounders changeups or spinning techniques!

Next up as of next week, comes even more advanced stuff including forms practice sessions where you’ll also notice some new material from Belt Grading coming into play during class time; it’s going so fast already…

So stay consistent as Winter approaches! The rain sucks but that’s even more reason to knuckle down and smash your training.

School Holiday Program – All Ages

With this awesome weather we’re having, what to do with the kids over the holidays? We are running a school holiday program this April on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11am to 4pm. Cost is $99 per day, discounts available for over 2 days booked! Your child’s friends and family are also welcome.

Contact Amy for more details on info@redboatkungfu.com or you can book directly through your child’s member portal or via our website’s timetable here: https://bit.ly/36M9Am3

Grading for the Juniors is this weekend! If your child is not grading, they can participate in the session or watch so they know what to expect when they do grade.

See you on the mat.

Wing Chun Kung Fu: The Evolution of a Mixed Martial Art


Wing Chun Kung Fu: The Evolution of a Mixed Martial Art

Some people might be surprised to know that Wing Chun Kung Fu was actually designed as a mixed martial art. However, in most strains it got frozen in time and never really evolved. That is, until now. We have continued to evolve Wing Chun as a fighting art, that is competitive amongst modern systems of today. While Bruce Lee did draw on other systems of fighting, he didn’t seem to fully understand the traditional aspects of the Wing Chun system, like forms for example. His argument was that you don’t fight that way. But that’s not their purpose – forms are not meant to translate into real world fighting scenarios. And we’ve seen how successful our system can be against other modern styles in competition! So if you’re looking for an edge in today’s world of martial arts, Wing Chun is the way to go.

Our Wing Chun at Red Boat Kung Fu is a system that has continued to evolve over time, and we are excited to invite you to come and try it out. Our school offers trial classes so that you can explore the art before making a commitment. We believe in the system and the community it provides, and we hope you will too. If you have any questions about Wing Chun or our school, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your time, and we hope to see you soon!

DM now or email info@redboatkungfu.com to book!

We all need a third place…





Morning guys,

With all the chaos and craziness in the world right now, it is even more important to have that third place.

Between work and home it is the space in-between. The space and place that is yours, where you go to recharge, where you go to let off steam, where you go to work on you.

For whatever reason you some of you may have started your martial journey – it may have been self defence, dream fulfilment, curiosity, fitness, socialising, skill development – for most of you, the school becomes your third place.

It’s here that you find balance and keep your mind and spirit in check, so that you can carry out your day to day in harmony.

So, remember to make that time, no matter what is going on, to invest in your own peace and sanity. It’s one hour out of your day that is yours, make it happen!

See you on the mat.

Kicks and BJJ Grading Prac!

Morning all!

It’s been a great week of training so far.

This week and the next, we are focusing on our kicks in the Wing Chun classes. Not just the correctness of technique in terms of kicking, but all you need to support this skill – strength, flexibility, footwork, co-ordination, speed and accuracy.

Chi Sau, Forms and Dummy will still be practised, just on the periphery while we build our kicking skills up.

BJJ grading is on the horizon! Keep an eye out for the date but start prepping now. It will most likely be around the Wing Chun belt grading scheduled for May.

On that note this Thursday’s 6pm BJJ class is all about your grading prep.

So get in tonight for kicking, sparring and Wing Chun foundations. Tomorrow for BJJ grading prac and Boxing foundations.

See you on the mat.
