Welcome to Foundations
Foundations is a martial arts school found in the heart of Chatswood that focuses on teaching self-development through the self-defence practice of Wing Chun Kung Fu Martial Arts.
Our self-development and self-defence classes help shape a person’s physical, emotional and mental well-being, as we believe that the best form of self-defence is to have a focused mind, an open heart and a healthy, balanced and resilient body.

Foundations Kids Classes

Kids classes

Foundations kid classes teach children to train their minds, emotions and bodies - leading them on a correct path of self-development.

Through the self-defence practice of Wing Chun Kung-Fu, students will be challenged to develop their focus, discipline and strength while working as a team, helping their fellow classmates, becoming leaders and always doing their best! The goal is their own personal development but also the development of their classmates.This specific and simple aim helps to create so much more than just good martial artists, it's developing good, strong and helpful people! 

Foundations kids classes will bring out the best in your child and help them in all aspects of their lives; family, school and social.

From school to home life, Foundations will bring out the best in your child!

Adults classes

Foundations adult classes are a challenging and fun way for you to develop your physical, emotional and psychological abilities.

In each class, the principles of self-defence are mixed with a range of psychological and self-development techniques and ideas. The aim, to help individuals understand that true self-defence always starts with correct self-control.

In the pursuit of learning to defend yourself, you will find that a mind rooted in stillness; a heart open and strong; and a body balanced and stable are not only the best ways to defend yourself but also the best way to live your life. 

Find balance, strength and confidence and bring your best self forward.
