Wushu Academy in Sydney

Australian society is increasingly multicultural, which is bringing a level of sophistication to the country for which it may not previously have been known. But sophistication isn’t an exclusively intellectual phenomenon; martial arts training in Sydney could be seen as more sophisticated than boxing, even though the latter’s original rules were drawn up by an aristocrat, the Marquess of Queensberry. Both are forms of fighting, but wushu is a response to aggression, not an aggressive act in itself.

At first glance, bracketing self-defence with meditation may seem rather odd, but when you think of martial arts or Kung Fu Wushu in Australia, there is a calmness in it that only adds to the physical power that self-defence involves. Our wushu classes in Sydney teach meditation to enhance physical performance through serenity, clarity of thought and the ability to focus on a given objective. The heroes people admire most are those who seem to have an inner peace and natural concentration that makes them always seem one step ahead of the opposition, and it’s this kind of approach that makes learning Kung Fu so transformative.
