Kids Class
Confidence, respect, ability to say no. Self-defense is the doorway; what we really build behind it is a child who knows who they are.

The WingTsun Kids program relies on educational games and concrete school situations. We teach respect for rules, listening, cooperation, and the firmness to say stop in the face of inappropriate behavior, whether from an adult or another child. Calibrated for children still building motor skills and emotions.
- 01
Recognize danger signals
Strange adults, weird situations, unusual requests. We learn the right reflexes.
- 02
Say NO with authority
Posture, voice, gaze. A child who can say no protects their boundaries.
- 03
Break free from a grip
Simple techniques adapted to small builds, to break free from wrist, arm, or bag grabs.
- 04
Daily respect
Greet, listen, wait your turn. The basics that make great people.

Frequent questions
Answers to the questions parents ask us most often.
Quite the opposite. We teach conflict avoidance first: recognising when a situation is going wrong, setting a boundary, saying no firmly, calling an adult. Self-defence technique comes only afterwards, as a last resort. Respect and self-control are at the heart of every class.
Both profiles benefit. A structured framework channels the more energetic kids, and step-by-step progression gives quieter children concrete chances to build confidence. The teaching is calibrated for children still developing motor skills and emotions.
Yes — we address this through age-appropriate role-play: recognising inappropriate behaviour, saying stop firmly, moving away, telling a trusted adult. We never push a child to "fight" a bully — the goal is for them to regain confidence and react before things escalate. If the situation is serious, the instructor can also discuss next steps with you.
Very low. No hard impacts, no weight categories, no competition. Drills are playful and adapted to smaller bodies, and the group is supervised at all times by a certified instructor.
No — comfortable sportswear is enough to start. Basic protective gear is provided during classes.
From age 6. The first class is free: your child takes part actively, like a regular student, and you can stay to watch and meet the instructor.
