About The Next Dragon Martial Arts

The Next Dragon Martial Arts is a Newtown school offering a broad mix of Chinese martial arts and movement disciplines from its base on Enmore Road in Sydney's Inner West. The teaching spans Kung Fu, Wushu, Tai Chi, self-defence, weaponry, sparring and even parkour, giving students plenty of avenues to explore within one school.

Rather than focusing purely on technique, the school frames martial arts as a vehicle for personal development, building qualities like balance, calmness, confidence, control, coordination, discipline, resilience and strength. Fitness and flexibility are woven through the training, making it as much about overall capability as about combat skills.

The instructors are a clear drawcard, with long-time students describing their training at The Next Dragon as life-changing and praising the teaching for both adults and children. With its varied curriculum and well-equipped training space, the school suits families, beginners and experienced practitioners across the Newtown area who want a versatile, community-minded place to develop martial arts skill alongside fitness and cross-training.
