A reminder to everyone that celebrations for Sifu and the academy’s birthday plus Frances and Dave’s Red Stripe grading are next Saturday (1st August) starting at 10am. Then, the plan is to head to the Cauliflower Hotel for lunch.
The school grading has been moved to early Spring.
Today/tonight’s classes are a continuation of this week’s theme and the Wednesday 7:15pm class is back as of this evening and will be run as a Wing Chun foundations class.
See you on the mat.
Hi guys,
Great night last night, full house! Great efforts, well done.
Tonight in True Boxing class (at 6pm) we will cover executing the perfect hook punch, peeling the jab and using elbow guard to cut step. Plus, a new shadow box drill and partner drills for head movement. Don’t miss it.
While you’re in, grab one of the newspapers at reception. It’s not just any paper, it’s a celebration of March turning 10. Ha, March’s business Blow. turning 10. March coaches BJJ 6pm on Thursdays. In case you don’t know, he’s responsible for all of our t-shirts, logos and most of our posters (the really good ones). The newspaper that Blow. has produced doubles as a portfolio of some truly amazing work both March and his business partner have done over the years, mixed with some quite interesting articles.
So pick one up, have a geezer, even order some of the merch.
It’s not over,
See you on the mat.
Hi guys!

Then there’s Vadim’s Wing Chun Kung Fu class at 6:30pm tonight which is all about set-ups for your side kicks, spin side kicks and round kicks. All essential for your martial arts fight game.
Saturday’s Fitness and Conditioning class at 9am with Frances will be another heartstarter for the weekend.
The 10am Wing Chun Kung Fu class will be Sifu setting up this coming weeks theme so don’t miss it!
Don’t miss any of these classes if you can.
Finally the Kids Kung Fu classes will start next week, first one is on Monday at 4:15pm. Remember if your child(ren) was enrolled in term 1 we will attribute a 30% discount to this terms fees. Last term was “pay per class” so if you have any fees owing from last term please fix them up on your next visit with either myself (Amy) or Sifu Rick.
On a side note, we have had some enquiries about whether we are training at our Redfen location or Alexandria Park. We are most definitely conducting all of our martial arts and conditioning classes at our training hall at our Redfern address.
See you on the mat.

Tonight BJJ at 6pm is the final stages of blue and purple belt grading practice loops. Introduction to 2nd loop for your belt level. Finishing with flow rolling. No partner changes etc.

Red Boat Kung Fu, headed by Sifu Rick Spain, has been operating in Sydney since 1986. At that time Sifu Rick Spain was still operating under the auspices of Grandmaster William Cheung who was a life-long friend of the late Bruce Lee and live-in disciple of late Grandmaster Ip Man.
Growing up on the mat with this deep rooted connection to Wing Chun history and tradition, Red Boat Kung Fu not only has the resources and developments you would expect in a modern MMA school, but also a wealth of tradition and “old school” practices that takes you back to what you imagine it would have been like to train in the Shaolin Temple hundreds of years ago.
Where Wing Chun Tradition and modern Mixed Martial Arts collide is where you will find Rick Spain’s Red Boat Kung Fu.
