      It is true, we are not a commercial martial arts school. We are not devoted for the money but for the passion of teaching the art!

      True little grasshopper…

      We use to run free classes in Chinatown Melbourne, under Kung Fu Foundation over 3 years ago, which we stopped and changed to a different venue due to liability issues. It was under the foundation we as instructors taught voluntarily to the general public.

      Same example applies when you have free tai chi classes in Federation Square in Melbourne. But ours is not Tai Chi but Kung Fu. If your a little skeptical about this do come along to our class so you know we are serious about giving out 1 year passes to the public.

      We have a few members who finish there trial paying for full membership as listed on the website $35 a month. They enjoyed training and continued long term. This is how the marketing goes for this offer, short term losses but maybe long term gains in the future. Cheers!

      Weapons use is free, handle weapons with care. We have some of the most exotic and rare weapons we teach and use dating back from Shaolin, since our style of Kung Fu derived from Shaolin Temples, Hung Ga & Choy Ga style.

      As to grading we dont have a bunch of sashes in all different colors as we are not a belt factory, every one wears a black belt, and progress based on completion of hand or weapon forms, structure and stance training. We have beginner, intermediate, advance and instructor level. Grading is organised by our Sifu, currently no cost is associated with grading, its more of the hard work and years of training a student progress to the next level! Sparring, light sparring, non-contact sparring, weapon sparring is also inclusive in our curriculum.

          Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry. Kung fu is a Chinese martial art.

    Very generous, I won't be signing up as I probably wouldn't be able to go to many classes, so i don't want to take someone else s opportunity.

    I suggest ozbargainers think this one through and only do it if you will attend.

      Local kung fu class - think it through, only if you'll attend.

    Even your $380 a year looks pretty cheap. Most schools will charge near a grand for a year.

    • Associatedkungfufoundation @ Jow Ga Kuen on 08/02/2014 - 23:52

      Definitely!! if you look at alot of commercial Wing Chun schools in the CBD they charge up to $140-$180 a month. We like to keep this very affordable, as well as keeping our quality of teaching high! But note we are not a Wing Chun school. We teach Jow Ga Kung Fu, so look up on YouTube what this style looks like, it might suit you! It's a very strong style with swift footwork. Different styles suit different people, its a short and long range style, both focus on stand up fighting techniques. We are the only school in Melbourne teaching Jow Ga style. Cheers!

    • mrgeckoz on 09/02/2014 - 01:57

      Definitely think it through if you are able to attend. Since the venue can fit around 50-60 people, but that does not mean we will accept that many people, only 30-40 people is the limit. As the quality of teaching depreciates as the more people per class, we have limited amounts of instructors only. But we will definitely introduce a 2nd class in the future to keep up. Cheers!

        yes dont be an ass and sign up and dont turn up… martial arts is a long term commitment shame I see quite a few that cant handle commitment and a bit of hard work Ive doing it for 3 years now :) (not kung fu)

        • WeiKaiLe on 09/02/2014 - 09:38

          My shifts change every week, I can't know when I'll work. I'll definitely go if I don't get a Saturday shift. I only get one or two days a week of work, which can be any day of the week. If I get a Saturday shift I'll be doing everything to swap with someone working on Sunday so I can go.

    McSlurry will not be on your menu. (when you realise that crap food is not good for you)

      like to know of similar groups in sydney thank you;

      we live in a society of greed
      that is our PM's creed
      every business rips off
      the poor mugs of oz

      without charging fees such teachers might have to starve.
      these arts were valued in china
      so people used to pay for the depth and cumltural immersion

      it is shallow to criticise any groups for charging money in a materialistic society where they could not live and function with dignity otherwise.

      I pay rip off fees to real estate salesmen in many guises
      even my dentist could be one
      my surgeon
      but they all have their clubs where they restrict memberships so they can charge huge fees.

      the PMs of our land lie in bed with these businesses and destroy public sevices so that mug can think they are getting off cheap

      until they have to pay.

      I would not attack or denigrate any groups which ahve tosurvive in this savage jungle of money talks
