Kids martial arts classes in Mornington.
Structured Wing Chun and Kids Kung Fu classes that develop focus, discipline, respect, coordination, confidence and practical self-defence.
Help their confidence grow
The Mornington academy’s children’s programs are designed to improve focus, discipline, respect, concentration, coordination, reflexes, self-confidence and the ability to defend themselves. These skills can support children at school, at home and later in the workforce.
Coordinated Wing Chun movements give children opportunities to use both sides of the brain while practising motor skills, hand–eye coordination, reflexes, memory, learning and creative expression. As children build a training habit, they practise setting goals, working steadily, persisting and correcting unhelpful habits.
The academy’s instructors are certified under Grandmaster Joe Sayah and hold Working with Children checks. Parents are welcome to arrange a free trial class.
How Wing Chun works
A martial art built on technique, not strength
Wing Chun is a traditional Chinese martial art that teaches students to use balance, positioning, timing and efficient movement rather than relying on brute force.
These principles make Wing Chun an engaging martial art for children to learn. As students practise techniques and develop their coordination, they also have opportunities to build confidence, improve concentration and learn the importance of discipline and respect.
Classes provide a structured environment where children can develop their abilities at their own pace, with an emphasis on learning, participation and personal progress.

Common questions
Kids classes FAQs
What should my child wear to their first class?
Comfortable clothing and suitable shoes are all they need. A uniform is not required for a trial class.
How early should we arrive?
We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the first class. This gives the team time to welcome you and show you around before training begins.
Can parents watch the class?
Yes. Chairs are provided for parents and carers who would like to watch. You are also welcome to return at the end of the class to collect your child.
What ages can children start Wing Chun?
Little Dragons is for children aged 4–6 years. The older children’s programme is for ages 6–13 years. The academy can help families choose the appropriate group where the age ranges meet.
Does my child need previous martial arts experience?
No previous Wing Chun or martial arts experience is required. The instructors can help identify a suitable starting group for your child. Request a free trial.
What are the long-term benefits of starting Wing Chun young?
Years of consistent practice can make movement patterns, awareness and coordination increasingly familiar. Alongside focus, discipline, confidence, respect and goal-setting, these practical skills may remain valuable as children grow into independent adults. Progress and outcomes vary for every child.
