About Foundations SD

Foundations SD is a dedicated Wing Chun kung fu school based at Leap Studios in Chatswood, where the focus extends well beyond self-defence to genuine personal development. Founded and led by Sifu Chris Tannous, who brings over fifteen years of studying, living and teaching Wing Chun in Hong Kong along with a background in counselling and psychotherapy, the school pairs authentic martial arts instruction with a strong emphasis on calm, focus and confidence. That blend resonates especially with families: parents repeatedly describe a fun, engaging and disciplined environment where children build self-defence skills, patience and concentration they carry into school and life.

Adults are equally well served, with practitioners who have trained at multiple schools rating Foundations SD as the best, praising both the teaching and the welcoming learning atmosphere for beginners and advanced students alike. Classes span kids, senior kids and adults, with specialty Chi Sau sessions, private packages and corporate lessons rounding out the offering. Whether your goal is practical self-defence, mental discipline or a rewarding way to train body and mind, this Chatswood school offers expert, patient instruction in a supportive setting.
