Study in Australia

Getting fit while learning Wing Chun Kung Fu at the world renowned International Wing Chun Academy is an exciting study option for overseas students to Australia.

The Academy was the first Australian martial art school to be registered to deliver Nationally Recognised Training in martial arts.

Since 1988, its courses in fitness and self defence have attracted thousands of students from all over the world.

The Academy's certificate courses in Sport Coaching, specialising in Wing Chun Kung Fu, were designed by one of the art's most skilled and knowledgeable masters, Grandmaster Jim Fung.

Certificates II, III and IV introduce students to Grandmaster Fung's unique training programme which provides powerful and effective self defence skills from the very first lesson.

At the same time, students learn about coaching principles, exercise science and nutrition, occupational health and safety, sport psychology, first aid, leadership and general work skills.

The courses provide world class qualifications for students wishing to pursue careers in the fitness or martial arts industries or establish their own professional self defence services.

Other students visiting Australia for the purpose of work or holidays will enjoy the healthy alternative to more conventional study and its bonus of self defence skills which are reassuring when travelling in a strange country.

The International Wing Chun Academy has been providing professional instruction in genuine Wing Chun Kung Fu since 1973, and its senior instructors are among the world's most talented martial artists.

The Academy abides by the training and operating standards of the Australian Quality Training Framework and all of its lecturers and course presenters are highly qualified.

Training sessions are fun, safe and physically and mentally stimulating.

By joining classes with the Academy's local Australian students, overseas students have the chance to improve their English skills and form lasting friendships. They are also welcome to join in regular Wing Chun workshops, training camps, barbecues, picnics and other social activities.

The Academy is registered by the Commonwealth Register of Institutes and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) to deliver its courses in Queensland and South Australia.

The Academy's headquarters in Surfers' Paradise and Adelaide offer clean, fully equipped inner-city facilities close to major shopping centres and tourist attractions.

The Surfers' Paradise school is in the heart of the commercial and entertainment district and just minutes from the famous Surfers' Main Beach. It is within easy reach of the Gold Coast's main tourist attractions, including the theme parks Movie World, Dream World and Sea World, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and some of the most beautiful beaches in Australia.

The Adelaide school is five minutes' walk from the famous Adelaide Central Market, Chinatown and the fine old historical buildings of the city's central business district. Adelaide is the gateway to the Barossa Valley vineyards and starting point for adventures in outback Australia such as Uluru.

Enrolment at the International Wing Chun Academy offers overseas students many benefits. As well as enabling them to experience Australia's relaxed, multicultural lifestyle, it opens the door to enjoyable, rewarding careers for students keen to pursue healthier lifestyles.

The Academy's gymnasiums are open seven days a week, allowing students the flexibility to travel or work part-time. Its courses are competitively priced and exceptional value for money.

Students wishing to establish their own self defence businesses have the excellent opportunity of partnering with the Academy and setting up affiliate schools in their own countries. A number of graduates have already done this, reaping the benefits of the Academy's long-standing reputation in the martial arts field, while others have become fitness instructors and personal coaches.
