Whether you’re starting your martial arts journey or developing existing skills, AWCA offers structured training for children, teens, adults and families.
Wing Chun Kung Fu is a practical Chinese martial art focused on efficient movement, close-range techniques and effective self-defence. Rather than relying on size, strength or athleticism, Wing Chun develops sensitivity, timing, structure and the ability to respond efficiently under pressure.
Wing Chun training is suitable for beginners and experienced martial artists alike. Whether your goal is to improve fitness, develop practical self-defence skills or explore the deeper principles of movement and internal awareness, training can be adapted to your individual pace and experience.
Learn realistic techniques that are tested and practical. Training gives you the tools—and the confidence—to protect yourself when it truly matters.
Australian Wing Chun Academy follows a traditional Wing Chun lineage tracing back to Grandmaster Ip Man, through Sigung Chu Shong Tin and Sifu Jim Fung. This heritage provides the foundation for our approach to teaching and preserving the principles of Wing Chun Kung Fu.
Our training places particular emphasis on relaxation, structure, centreline, and body awareness. By understanding how the body moves and generates power, students develop greater efficiency, coordination and control through the practice of Wing Chun.
Wing Chun training develops more than practical self-defence skills. Through consistent practice, students improve their physical abilities, mental focus and confidence, both inside and outside the training environment.
Our Kids Wing Chun Kung Fu classes introduce children aged 5–8 to martial arts through fun, structured training. Children develop coordination, concentration, confidence and discipline while learning practical self-defence skills in a supportive environment.
Our Young Lions Wing Chun Kung Fu program develops practical self-defence skills, confidence and discipline in children aged 9–12. Through structured martial arts training, students improve coordination, fitness, focus and their ability to respond confidently to challenging situations.

“Absolutely love training here with Sifu Bjorn! Before training I was pretty unsure about the direction of what I was going to and really need something outside of work that was not just consuming useless information online. Sifu Bjorn has helped me gain fitness, confidence, and emotional balance.”
“Attending Wing Chun classes has been a fantastic experience for me at Australian Wing Chun Academy. The instructor, Bjorn, is highly skilled and very patient, and great at breaking down techniques so they are easy to understand and apply.”
“I recently joined the Australian Wing Chun Academy and I absolutely love it! I have absolutely no previous martial arts experience but Bjorn Wise is an exceptionally knowledgeable and patient teacher. If you're looking for a fun way to get moving and learn some great self defence moves, this is your tribe!”
“The Academy is very welcoming and inclusive. I have kids with Autism and Dyslexia, so my need for them to feel seen, heard, and to have a safe inclusive place to learn something new is important. The teacher Bjorn was able to adapt the training to suit them perfectly.”
