As stated last year, in 2022 we are expanding our junior martial arts program and that will include insuring all juniors have the correct sparring equipment. This will minimalise risk of injury and ensure an enjoyable experience for all involved.
The required sparring equipment is:
We have all of the above in stock so please secure a pack for your child asap so we can get into sparring again.
In regards to financial outlay, a sparring kit for most kids under 6 will start at $60 and max out with the older and bigger kids at $90.
We look forward to the continuing expansion of our kids program. With the additional classes we can now expect gradings to take place at the end of EVERY term and dates for the school holiday sessions will be released shortly.
If you know someone who would love to see their children in our classes please spread the word!
See you on the mat,

Our Junior Martial Arts Program (JMAP) has begun for the year and it’s kicked off with a flying start!
We now have classes Monday – Thursday and Saturday with a monthly Junior Masters Succession class and School Holiday Programs.
We have started the year with welcoming back familiar faces and introducing some new ones to our mat. It’s looking to be a fun filled year of learning, striving, overcoming and developing.
It’s not too late to get your child enrolled into the Kids, Teens or All Ages classes, simply email Amy at info@redboatkungfu.com to find out what to do.
We are an Active Kids Provider and you can redeem your vouchers with us to contribute to your child’s fees.
Some classes can get quite busy, so please prebook your child into classes where possible. If you are not ready to come back to training in person we do have the option for your child to attend via Zoom.
We hope you all have had a wonderful school holiday and are ready to bounce back into your Martial Arts Training!
Looking forward to seeing you all again,
Amy & RBKF Team
Hope you’re all fit and well. Just a heads up that we will be closed tomorrow due to the public holiday. That being said, I will be training from 8.30am to 11am, so you are welcome to come in and do your own thing. If you have keys…mi casa es su casa…
So I’ll see you Friday lunchtime and Saturday morning if not before.

Happy New Year to you all! We hope that you have had a happy, safe and enjoyment filled start to 2022. We have indulged a little, relaxed a lot and maintained a healthy training routine during the break. Most of all we are taking the time to recuperate from a rollercoaster of a year, goodbye 2021. Welcome 2022.
I’m super excited about tomorrows kick-off, try not to miss it. I have a plan for the year and tomorrow is day one of a 12 month periodisation plan for the entire school which will involve strength training in phase one – understanding and executing combination training, the psychology of combat, understanding “Bunkai” the breakdown of forms and extraction of legitimate combat techniques and – for all who have overindulged – a Peak Performance program will kick off mid-January. Contact me (Sifu) directly on 0423 610 695 if you want (or need) to get on board.
Juniors training starts at the beginning of the school term on 31st January. We launched a new kids pricing option along with early bird specials for anyone who signed up to them before the 15th Jan. That date is approaching soon, so if you missed the email or want to make the most of the offer, please contact Amy ASAP by email: info@redboatkungfu.com . In addition, the Junior’s school holiday program was to start in Term 1 school holidays, but we are offering the first session on Thursday 27th January. This might be an opportunity for you to get your last minute back to school shopping done. Parents and guardians will receive an email soon about the details of this and the sparring equipment requirements and prices that were mentioned last year.
We have a big year planned, miss you all and look forward to seeing you all again in the coming weeks.
See you on the mat.
Here we are at last. Fight week.
As we get closer to Saturday taper your training and increase your carbs slightly from Wednesday.
On grading day have a high protein high fat, moderate carb breakfast. This will ensure a steady energy balance on the day. Rest well, avoid anything risky so we avoid the possibility of injury. I was told many many years ago just as we are ready to succeed, we are also ready to fail. I’ve seen athletes sabotage themselves in the last few days before a comp. It seems crazy but it’s true. So stay on point.
I have much to say which I’ll save for the day.
Last big hit out tonight, boxing tomorrow and technical Wednesday, then rest and recover ‘til Saturday.
See you on the mat.
