KIDS CLASS

Shifu (Master) Liu has been running a junior program here in Canberra for over 10 years. This program has welcomed and enabled children as young as 4 years of age to participate actively in class. Each child is allowed to develop at his/her own pace under the direct guidance of Sifu Liu.

Lessons are conducted at the ANU sports halls by Shifu Liu with assistance from her trusted senior students. Shifu Liu has established an environment/culture of mutual respect that natures a fun and welcoming class structure while also developing discipline and dedication.

Wushu is a martial art that facilitates the development of a very high level of fitness from childhood through to adults. The skills one learns are diverse and numerous, and highly transferable to other sports and activities.

Your children will be running and jumping, doing balance and co-ordination training while building good healthy strength and flexibility. Wushu training builds discipline of mind, great concentration and attention to detail while helping develop a confident and friendly character.

As there are no uniform requirements (or “coloured belts”) be assured that your child will quickly settle into the group.
