Dave is a great teacher with skills!👍👍👍
The team at Kung Fu Southside are simply exceptional. I could not have hoped for more for my 6 and 4 year old. When you join you don’t just become part of a club you become part of a community that inspires, uplifts and empowers. Thank you Kung Fu Southside!... More

My boy is a quiet 7yr old child in his school environment , At his Kung fu he has grown in confidence and skill level where it is now relaying that in the rest of his school and outside activities.

These guys are great, we have a tonne of fun and learn from an awesome instructor.
Great people to train with. They work in with you for what level of skill you have.
It is awesome that having Sifu Dave teaching my boys about not only Wing Chung but also the positive attitude to be a good person.
I have been involved with Kung Fu Southside for almost 2 years and enjoy every bit of the training and teachings Very professionally run, friendly staff and students. Great way to keep active and learn practical self defence through the Wing Chun system, even for us over 50s!! Thank you Sifu Dave and Kung Fu Southside... More

Great facility and excellent Sifu. Mindfulness and approachability instilled throughout the culture that’s encouraged here; all of which are important aspects to have students steeped in while on their journey training in these arts. Children’s, women’s, and open classes facilitate for anyone interested, curious, or serious about fitness, self defence, or self development.... More

Such a welcoming environment. everybody is friendly and willing to help.
Really great people and atmosphere, Always having a laugh while training. I really like how they pay close attention to newbies like me. I’ve done a lot of training in other areas such as boxing, Muay Thai and some others, And this Kung fu seems a lot more complex while still simple. So a lot more to learn if you like a challenge....

Wonderful, inclusive and full of encouragement. Sifu has been fantastic throughout my son's time learning at Kung Fu Southside.

An amazing style that any one can learn and have fun with. Great atmosphere and family oriented club
Being part of Kung Fu Southside is like having a second family. Sifu Dave instills a culture of kinship and respect.

Being part of Kung Fu Southside is like having a second family. Sifu Dave instills a culture of kinship and respect. I’m happy to travel from the city centre out to Hillcrest bypassing lots of different martial arts schools to learn Wing Chun at Kung Fu Southside - simply because in my years of training in both Ireland and Australia, it’s the best martial arts school / Kwoon there is. I’ve learnt so much and have so much more to learn with Sifu Dave’s guidance. I can’t wait to get my little boy involved in the kid’s classes. Over the years it’s amazing to see these kids transition from the children’s classes to the adult classes and give some of us older hacks the run around as well as presenting growing confidence that will stand them the test of time in adulthood. Thanks Sifu Dave! Less
I have been a member of Kung Fu Southside for over year now. It never gets boring and is always a friendly atmosphere, there are heaps of time slots to choose from so i find it easy to fit into my busy schedule. It is a great way to get fit and learn Wing Chun at the same time. The instructors are awesome. Keep up the good work Sifu Dave and the team!!!... More

They have so much confidence in themselves, their fitness levels have improved and have made amazing friendships, it’s just like a second family. Wing Chung Kung Fu is not just all about self defence, Sifu Dave also talks about discipline, respect and how to avoid or protect yourself against bullying. I now have joined and enjoy it immensely, I am learning how to defend myself against all sizes as well as improving my own health, body and mind. We are all there for each other and we will help each other reach our goals. Kung Fu Southside is a fantastic place to be for all ages. Less

Such a great place to learn martial arts, Kung Fu Southside has such a welcoming and family like atmosphere. I've tried many different styles or martial over the years, but never had anything feel quite as naturally comfortable as Wing Chun. Each lesson is informative and I always take something new away from every lesson. Sifu Dave is probably one of the best teachers I've ever had! He will take the time to explain everything through with a welcoming and positive attitude, this is also something that flows through to the senior students, they are always more than happy to help out and lend a hand. If you're thinking about attending a lesson it's definitely worth it. Less

The instructors are so patient with the young ones. The kids learn through fun activities and each class is different so they don't get bored.
AAAA+++ Kung Fu School. 😀Absolutely great fun and great leaders💕Highly Recommended 🙏🏽 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Kung Fu Southside and Sifu Dave. I have no martial arts experience, so I was feeling nervous about attending their free women's self defense class—but Sifu Dave made me feel comfortable and paced the session really well for newbies. I highly recommend Kung Fu Southside!... More
