Internal Martial Arts for Self-Defence, Health & Well-Being

 

The Australian Institute of Martial Arts (AIMA) delivers a complete Internal Martial Art System known as WU CHI Kung-Fu.
This system is founded upon the classical Daoist core philosophical concepts and principles of:

• Wu Chi – the formless, limitless source
• Yin & Yang – balance, timing, and change
• Wu Hsing (Five Element Theory) – structure, power, and strategy
• Pa Kua (Eight Trigrams) – adaptability, movement, and unpredictability

All training is aligned with the Principles of the Dao and applied practically for:

✔ Self-Defence
✔ Health & Well-Being
✔ Longevity & Functional Strength

 

What is Wu Chi Kung-Fu?

Wu Chi Kung-Fu is an Internal Kung-Fu System, not defined by rigid techniques or fixed forms, but by principles, structure, energy, and adaptability.

Rather than memorising techniques, students learn how to:

• Develop the Kung-Fu Body through Wai Kung, Nei Kung and Chi Kung Exercises
• Generate efficient internal power
• Adapt instantly to resistance or forceful scenarios and respond suddenly
• Move naturally according to the path of least resistance
• Express power with speed, Timing, Co-Ordination, Precision, Structure and Alignments with minimal force

Wu Chi Kung-Fu is non-specific in style, meaning it can take any physical form and integrate seamlessly with styles like:

• Boxing & Kickboxing
• Grappling & Wrestling
• Other external or internal martial arts

This makes the system highly effective for real-world self-defence while maintaining profound health and internal development benefits.
