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 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 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!!

The over 20,000 sq. ft. Balcatta facility is the best of the best!

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't felt it for myself, I love the feeling I get from practising the Chen Tai Chi...Thank You.

Our son loves it. As soon as the younger one reaches 4 and a half he will be doing it too. Thank you :)

Fitness has always been important to me but I get bored with sports and I’m not the type of person who can stick to an exercise routine. Learning Kung Fu has changed all that for me. As well as getting gift I’m learning a practical skill that gives me confidence and adds a new dimension to my life. The emphasis on training and flexibility has done wonders for my body and corrected stiffness from previous injury.

I wish my parents made me do Kung Fu when I was really young. Im glad that I take my children so they don't have to say that.

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.

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.

Kung Fu has guided me throughout the years to make the best decisions for different situations, which has shaped me to be the person I am today.

Its so enjoyable to watch them doing Kung Fu, they’re really in the moment.

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.

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.

Training in Chen Tai Chi and Lohan Qigong at the Chinese Kung Fu and Tai Chi Academy was one of the best experiences of my life. I was fortunate to be able to train regularly with Sifu and the many wonderful instructors at the school, all of whom actively helped me to improve my techniques and develop my skills in a welcoming and friendly environment.

Suffering from high blood pressure and back pain due to mild scoliosis, I found that regular practice helped to reduce both my blood pressure and back pain. I know that I've learned skills that I will practice for life, to the benefit of my physical health and general well-being and happiness.

I'm glad that I started my martial arts journey with this great school. I would encourage anyone who has considered getting into martial arts, or a complete health and fitness system to do the same.
