About Chinese Kung Fu & Tai Chi Academy
The Chinese Kung Fu & Tai Chi Academy in Balcatta is a traditional martial arts school teaching authentic Chinese kung fu, tai chi and qigong to Perth students of all ages. More than a fitness class, the academy frames training as a journey, with long-term members speaking of benefits that extend well beyond self-defence and conditioning to discipline, focus, humility and personal growth.
The teaching environment is welcoming and structured around individual ability. Beginners are led patiently through the fundamentals with respect and encouragement, while more experienced students readily share tips and techniques to help newcomers progress. This layered, community-driven approach means people of any starting point can build genuine skill, fitness and confidence over time.
Programs span the generations, from preschool and children's kung fu through to teenagers and adults, alongside gentle tai chi, Chen tai chi and Lohan qigong for those seeking health, balance and calm. The academy also delivers school programs, workplace tai chi sessions and traditional lion and dragon dance performances, making it a rich cultural hub as well as a place to train hard in Balcatta.
