Kids Martial Arts - Kung Fu Classes

Kids Wing Chun at Kung Fu Southside gives children aged 6 to 13 structured training in a traditional Chinese martial art. It’s taught the way it was passed down — from Ip Man, to Grandmaster Gregory Choi, to Sifu Dave Richardson without shortcuts.


A Safe and Practical Martial Art for Children

Wing Chun Kung Fu is particularly well suited to children because it is based on natural movement, balance, and coordination, rather than size, strength, or aggression.

Training helps children to:

  • Develop body awareness and balance

  • Improve coordination and posture

  • Build confidence without intimidation

  • Learn calm, controlled responses under pressure

This makes Wing Chun an effective and reassuring choice for parents concerned about their child’s safety and wellbeing.


Confidence, Focus, and Personal Safety

Kids Wing Chun classes teach age-appropriate self-protection skills designed to help children:

  • Recognise unsafe situations

  • Maintain balance and awareness

  • Create space and escape when necessary

  • Protect themselves without unnecessary force

Training is carefully structured so children learn control and responsibility, not aggression.


A Supportive, No-Ego Training Environment

Kung Fu Southside provides a safe, welcoming, and respectful environment where children can learn at their own pace.

Classes are taught by experienced instructors who focus on:

  • Encouragement and positive reinforcement

  • Clear structure and consistency

  • Individual attention within a group setting

Children are supported as they develop confidence, resilience, and self-belief.


Life Skills That Extend Beyond the Training Floor

In addition to physical skills, Kids Wing Chun training emphasises important life values, including:

  • Discipline and focus

  • Respect for others

  • Perseverance and patience

  • Assertiveness and self-control

  • Awareness of personal safety

These lessons help children carry confidence and composure into school, home, and everyday life.


Suitable for All Children

Kids Wing Chun classes at Kung Fu Southside are suitable for:

  • Boys and girls aged 6–13

  • Beginners with no martial arts experience

  • Children of all sizes and abilities

Training is progressive and age-appropriate, ensuring children develop strong foundations while enjoying their martial arts journey.

Tigers: Kids Ages 8-13

Our Wing Chun Tigers program for 8-13-year-olds emphasises the integration of Martial Arts skills into a holistic approach to self-defence and personal development. This program will provide children with a fun, healthy, and lasting experience. They will become part of the Kung Fu community and will be assigned a level of responsibility that will prepare them for the rest of their lives.

Wing Chun is also an incredible method to combat bullies in schools or your neighbourhood. Martial arts teachers are sometimes misunderstood as teaching students how to beat up on other people. Instead, our program is focused on teaching your child how to repel bullies using verbal assertiveness, as well as many nonviolent self-defence tactics to keep them safe if they are physically assaulted.

We provide children with the tools for lifelong success in our Wing Chun Tigers programs. Families have praised us for our approach.
