I never dreamt a year ago that I would be doing this and now I find it hard to imagine my life without it! I want to thank all the wonderful instructors that work so hard to make every class count, your determination and passion is very evident and it is a joy to be able to be a part of your classes.

A place where anyone can learn amazing skills and become a part of an amazing community. I've been attending for over 6 years and can't/won't imagine my life without the Academy. The instructors are friendly, determined and inspirational.

I now believe I can achieve anything and I truly believe this is a result from training at the Chinese Kung Fu and Tai Chi Academy. I have no hesitation in recommending this school to any one.
Dino Cercarelli
In my view the Choy Lay Fut system has lived up to its reputation. I hope to continue to train at the school for many years to come.

I can honestly say that the training provided at your school has been a more
effective weapon in my fight against depression and anxiety than any
medications or therapy I've had.
Ben Pike
Since I have been training, I feel so fit and healthy that I don’t know how I survived without it. The instructors are great and very helpful. As you know I have already had to use some Kung Fu for self-defense. If I didn’t know what to do, God knows what could have happened. Overall I find the school a great place to go to and I always look forward to coming in.
Priscilla Sue
Since starting Kung Fu I feel safer in knowing that if faced with an unpleasant situation, I am able to protect myself with the defensive techniques that I have learnt.
Darlene Dias
Every since I started Kung Fu, I’ve never felt or looked better...and I’ve had great fun doing it.

I can honestly say, the most Profound and Positive change I ever made in my life was meeting Sifu (George Michielsen) and getting involved with this school.

I joined the school to learn how to defend myself. Not only do I now know how to defend myself, but also my fitness levels have greatly increased, and I have so much more energy and discipline every day! I have also made many friends since joining the school! I would highly recommend it to others.

I started at the academy to improve my fitness, shape up my body and follow an old interest in martial arts. I found a family first, a group of great people who quickly became a group of mates and I've been learning something new every day ever since. I'm 35 years old and never been this fit in my life. At the academy the more effort you put in the more you get back from it!! Thanks Sifu and thanks to all the amazing instructors and staff!!

This academy keeps true to the idealogies and techniques of Choy Lay Fut Buk Sing. Coming from a strong lineage, the academy really teaches you what true Kung Fu is all about. The instructors are great and makes for a great training environment. Training here has really enlightened me on my physical and mental strength as well as improve them.

Everyone's willingness to teach here at the Balcatta Academy makes it a lot more fun and easy to get the most out of the classes.
Rafael Naim
Great family friendly environment, combined with highly enthusiastic and dedicated instructors creates a positive and safe method of learning this technical Martial Art that you will benefit from physically, mentally and spiritually. After four years of training at the academy and two years for my eight year old daughter I wouldn't go anywhere else. Sifu George has been true to the art of Choy Lay Fut Buk Sing by keeping the training traditional, and only seeks advice from his Sifu and masters of the Art in Hong Kong and Mainland China keeping the values of this centuries old martial art true to it's core.
Shane Lyons
My experience here was incredible. I learnt some unique ways to keep fit and take care of my body. The environment is very friendly, professional and rewarding to your confidence and self esteem. I recommend this academy to anyone who wishes to experience and learn martial arts.
Spencer Ford
Training kung fu and tai chi has made me stronger, both physically and mentally. I began to notice the changes after just a few weeks; tasks that were physically demanding had suddenly become easier and my mood and work ethic had improved. It only gets better through the years!

Really friendly atmosphere. Everybody is super helpful and patient. Excellent for beginners. Don't be shy, come on down and check it out.

The deep tradition and flowing form of Choy Lay Fut Buk Sing has improved my fitness, focus in all areas of my life and my overall feeling of wellbeing.
Andrew Geddes
I started training at the Chinese Kung Fu and Tai Chi Academy to increase my cardio fitness, strengthen my core muscles, lose a couple of kilos, and have a lot of fun while doing it. I can honestly say that all of the above has happened! I have been training just over a year with this school, and I still feel like I have the motivation and 'want' to go to training as much as when I first joined - that is a huge credit to the school and its teachers for creating such an awesome and welcoming atmosphere! Looking forward to many years of training!
Oli Nikolovski
I trained here for years, it is a great school with lots of space and instructors and its great to see the core group of old school students still training .Choy Lay Fut Buk Sing is a great style of Kung Fu it has a great base in real fighting and has been proven for a long time on the rooftops of Hong Kong against other styles and martial arts.

For someone looking to start martial arts with no previous experience it can be intimidating thought of rocking up to your first class. Sifu George and all the other instructors are very welcoming and provide an accepting, safe environment to learn in. I find the teaching of excellent standard with instructors praising and critiquing in an appropriate manner. The classes are very well thought out and have a simple, logical flow. I'm really enjoying my Kung Fu journey - I wish I had started sooner! I encourage anyone thinking about starting to do so at this school
