Everyone is Welcome

Not limited to certain sizes and types of people, Waterloo Kung-Fu Academy's versatility makes kung-fu accessible to all, regardless of fitness level.

We have Adult Programs and Children's Programs to fit every level and age—to learn more, follow the links on the left.

Start Anytime

At WKFA there is no season; due to a high instructor-to-student ratio, our Academy accommodates new student trials and enrolment throughout the calendar year.

What to Wear

For the free introductory class and Orientation period, a clean pair of sweatpants or track pants and a clean tee shirt (no tank tops) are fine. Most students train barefoot but if you would like to wear shoes, please carry in a clean pair of non-scuffing athletic shoes. Please remove any jewellery and wristwatches, etc.

Private Classes for New or Established Students

Private classes with Black Sash instructors or Sifu Dave are available for Adult, Junior and Youth Students—for both new and established students. Speak directly with Sifu Dave to make arrangements.

Please note, during the summer months, due to the combined schedule, additional times become available for private lessons.

Private classes can help you to:

• Fit training into your busy schedule.
• Feel less self-conscious.
• Accelerate your learning.
• Prepare for an upcoming grading.
• Focus on developing a specific area.

"As a father and husband whose family is involved in Kung-fu, I can certainly attest to several of the benefits I see from their participation. First and foremost, it's a holistic path to excellent health and a great way to keep in shape. It is a physically demanding activity, but nothing that someone can't accomplish without the requisite hard work. For our children, I especially like the fact that it's not just the techniques that are taught. Rather, they learn a great deal about discipline, dedication, and the value of hard work. The values learned at Kung-fu further support the values we instill at home. The criteria for success are clearly laid out; students know exactly what they need to work on to move to the next belt or sash level. This gives them a specific goal to work towards, and when they are successful at a grading, it's clear that they are very proud of their accomplishments. It's great to see them meet their goal, and then immediately start working on the next one." Chris F.
