The Australian Institute of Martial Arts has been teaching on the Gold Coast since 2003, providing internal martial arts training for self-defence, health and personal development.
WU CHI KUNG FU - Internal Kung Fu for Self-Defence, Health & Personal Development
Classical Chinese Philosophy, Contemporary Expression
Wu Chi Kung Fu is AIMA’s complete contemporary internal martial arts system, rooted in the classical Chinese philosophical concepts of Wu Chi, Yin-Yang, Wu Hsing and Pa Kua, and guided by practical principles of the Dao such as Wu Wei, harmony, balance, non-forcing, adaptation and natural movement.
Rather than being defined by a single style or collection of fixed techniques, the system develops structure, timing, internal power, adaptability and whole-body integration.
Training is expressed through three principal pathways:
Wu Chi Combative Arts | Wu Chi Health Arts | Wu Chi Leadership Arts
Kids Wu Chi Kung Fu is a youth-adapted program derived from the Combative Arts pathway, while advanced study within either the Combative or Health Arts pathways may progress into instructor development and leadership training.
Programs are available for adults, seniors and children, with options ranging from open group classes to private tuition and instructor development.
Whether training for practical self-defence, health, personal development or deeper study of the internal arts, students are encouraged to progress at an appropriate level while developing skill, awareness and understanding.
