Pak Hok Kung Fu International

Pak Hok Kung Fu International brings traditional Chinese martial arts and lion dance to Ashfield in Sydney's inner west. Operating as an incorporated community association, it offers an authentic and welcoming space to learn kung fu, build discipline and connect with a vibrant cultural tradition.

Classes run with a clear structure for different ages, including a dedicated kids session, so the whole family can train. Beyond the martial arts itself, the school is well known locally for its lion dance troupe — a colourful, energetic performance art that complements the kung fu training and often appears at community events and celebrations across the inner west.

With drop-ins welcome, Pak Hok keeps the door open to newcomers curious about kung fu as well as those wanting to develop their skills more seriously. The friendly, community-minded atmosphere makes it approachable for beginners while still honouring the depth of the discipline. Sessions are held in Ashfield, and the school can also be booked for lion dance performances. For class details and bookings, it is best to get in touch with Pak Hok directly.
