Who are we?

Who we are and what we do – Kung Fu Academy NZ

The Kung Fu Academy New Zealand is first and foremost a Martial Arts Academy. We teach regular Martial Arts Classes to all ages 5+. Our Academy specialises in Shaolin Kung Fu, but we also study many forms of martial arts and bring the best components of each art to you.

Kung Fu means “skill achieved through hard work and practice”, not necessarily Martial Arts. We apply that philosophy to our Martial Arts and Fitness training. Most importantly it gives us “no limits”, so allows us to practice and study all forms and all types of Martial Arts, bringing them together into one fluid system, which we deliver to you.

We teach and promote effective, real world techniques that are adapted for all abilities. Our headquarters is based in Palmerston North, where we teach regular martial arts classes. What’s better than knowing how to defend yourself and your loved ones from any adversary?
