Yi Quan Kung Fu

My 3 daughters have been learning Kung Fu here for the past year. It is a great school, that teaches self defence, confidence and values. There are so many martial arts academies in the Inner West. We chose this one for their sense of community. They also have sessions that we can attend 6 days a week and not commit to a particular day - we can attend as little or as much as we wish. I would highly recommend this school if you are comparing the inner west martial arts varieties.

The Sydney Self Defence Centre has been my second home since I was 23 years old (2003).After trying many other martial arts I found that it really wasn't the martial art I practiced but the experience, understanding and professionalism of the instructors. Shifu has been a guiding light to me for my attitude, goals and outlook on life. The martial art Yi Quan is not a game nor a sport but a reality based system of real self protection and survival. Blend that with a motivating, fun and family dynamic and you have a place for life, where everyone who trains there and all of the black sashes are a family. We teach and help to give back, because we love what we do and to give back to Shifu and the Shibo's what they have given to us. There are many varieties of systems and teachers out there, nothing in my 17 years like what I have seen at the Sydney Self Defence Centre. Mental, Emotional and Physical empowerment. No ego's, No competitiveness, Just self improvement and reality based self protection and combat applications. There are no words that can express my gratitude or shear enjoyment that the centre gave me for all these years. If you truly want to be the best you can be and are willing to give it a go, make a change, then I can guarantee that you will find nothing like training at the Sydney Self Defence centre. Shifu and the instructors really care about your safety and your health. Put the time in here and it will not only make you a hard target for violence but turn you into a leader with confidence. You are always going to be a product of your environment, this is the place to be.

We had a wonderful experience with Chris and his team. It was very easy to book in a class session, and we all enjoyed it and found it extremely valuable. Would highly recommend Sydney Self Defence Centre without hesitation.
