Fitness Programmes
We provide fitness programmes and classes for people looking to benefit from quality physical training based on a foundation of care for the body.
You do not need to be learning Wing Tsun to attend our fitness classes. They are for everyone and also designed for our Wing Tsun students wanting to accelerate their progress, or achieve a higher level of physical conditioning faster.
To meet your individual goals we offer four unique fitness programmes – Full Blast, Fighting Fit, Fit for Life, and Lone Wolf. Plus you may also choose to attend our individual fitness classes – VIIT, More Core, Flexibility, Martial Fitness
Why would I choose fitness at the Wing Tsun Academy?
Atmosphere
Our martial arts gym (gwoon) incorporates the atmosphere of a Zen dojo (space for meditation). Developing your body here feels different from working out in a commercial gym and encourages mindful exercise and seeking mind-body connections.
Care
Our fitness classes focus on safe, effective physical conditioning and care for the longevity of your body, rather than wearing it out pursuing short term goals. A body that is well cared for will reward you with performance.
Design
Our classes are designed by combining the latest in exercise science with traditional martial arts methods and Buddhist values.
Community
The down to earth and positive nature of the students we attract, and the support of our teachers creates an uplifting experience.
