IWKA Kung Fu Brisbane is a wonderful place to get your defence mojo on. I did the Women's defence class and it helped me to understand how to approach dangerous situations. It was fun and informative and a great place to meet new friends. Sifu Jurgen and Sije Hong are very experienced and fun trainers. I would highly recommend the defence classes or if you would like to dive in to Kung Fu world and learn from the best this is the place to go!

I have attended 2 workshops for women's self defence at Kung Fu Brisbane IWKA. I left both feeling energised and appreciative for the insightful way of teaching a fairly complex principle. Jurgen and Hong have a very enthusiastic but respectful approach and are very interested in both the student and the application of applying the new skills. They have the physical skill that motivates you to learn as well as the heart and mind being very naturally gifted in sharing technique and wisdom. The studio is very comfortable to practise in and convenient to parking/public transport. Like all good teachers

It is such a joy to witness both of my children growing with the ethos and compassion taught by Sifu. Both my son and daughter feel like valued team members, and their classes are really fostering such a beautiful sense of responsibility and self esteem. The community is wonderful, and my children adore Sifu and Sije… thank you dearly for your devotion!

Last Saturday i joined the women self defence workshop. It was great!! Thanks Sifu and Sije Hong for the amazing teaching. They explain every movement very detail and make sure we do it correctly. Also, teach us how to say 'NO" and "STOP", the most powerful technique to protect ourself. For absolutely beginner it is super easy to pick up and follow. They also showed us others advance skill, how to train smartly and keep improving ourself. It is really great workshop and I do enjoy it a lot. Can't wait to lean more and be stronger.

My Daughter has been training at IWKA Brisbane for the last two years, my daughter was about 4 years old when she started. I found that my daughter's concentration, listening, coordination and the ability to follow instruction has immensely improved but most of all she has made many new friends.

Amazing place to learn an effective, fun and well structured martial arts system. Anyone can become a valued member of this supportive team. If you are interested in kung fu then I highly recommend this school. Sifu Jurgen is a highly proficient instructor, with a personable and adaptive attitude. The support instructors are also great fun. Sifu has shown innovation and great effort to adjust the school structure, especially to keep everyone engaged and a safe training environment during the Covid-19 restrictions. It is also beneficial to see visiting instructors from the National and international

I have been training Wing Chun at this school since 2013 and began learning Tai Chi in 2018. Sifu Jürgen is a great teacher and my Kung Fu brothers and sisters are very friendly and helpful with each-other. Wing Chun and Tai Chi classes are always rewarding and I feel more confident and able then I ever was in my younger days. I highly recommend IWKA Brisbane!

I’ve been training under Sifu Jürgen for over 15 years, which in itself is probably a testament for how highly I rate it! Sifu is a highly skilled WingTjun practitioner that is passionate about sharing his many years of experience to help you gain the most from your training and kung fu. I have always found that Sifu has a knack for translating his… deep understanding of WingTjun into practical steps that help you develop efficiently. Beyond being a great instructor, training over the years with someone so skilled has kept me inspired by seeing what is possible and Sifu is always

I have been training with Sifu Jürgen for over 3 years now. Prior to joining IWKA Brisbane, I have also trained with other Wing Chun linages. The IWKA system is unique in a sense that it not only focuses on the physical aspect of martial art but in more advanced levels, on internal and mental aspects as well. Sifu Jürgen is a kind, generous and… humble instructor whom has great passion for teaching and sharing his extensive knowledge of Wing Tjun and other internal forms. IWKA Brisbane has friendly, no-ego and supportive culture and the Kwoon is very nice to train in. I highly

I can't recommend training at IWKA enough. It's an awesome place to learn self-defence, get fit and meet some great people. The classes are really friendly and ego-free. The instructor Sifu Jurgen lives and breathes Wing Tjun and is passionate teaching and sharing his skills and knowledge. The IWKA self-defence system is very practical but also contains concepts and ideas that you can incorporate into your daily life so it has many health benefits

The extent of research into the art of Wing Chun and the rigorous training that Sigung Sergio Psacal has done is truly the cornerstone of the IWKA Wing Chun system.

Sifu Juergen is an excellent teacher - with my busy work and personal schedules (not to mention my poor aging body) Sifu somehow manages to progress my training through private lessons. I enjoy the lessons tremendously, the principles and applications, and feel refreshed, energised and ready for anything. Highly recommended!
